The use of chillis in sauces?

[P.]

Hey,

I've got some stupidly hot chillis here (thanks chilli growing guys ) got one, chopped it up and boshed it into a bottle of tomato ketchup. Problem is there is next to no oomph You get a little tingle on your tongue and that's about it. Try even the smallest sliver of the chilli outside of the bottle and damn, mouth is on fire.

Is there any reason this just isn't giving off the power I thought it would, could it be because I've refrigerated it? If not, please let me know as I fully intend to have a proper stealth bottle of Heinz people that steal my Heinz shall be mad....

Fry bit gently in some olive oil first then add it

Doubt the capsaicin has dispersed properly, the chilli bits will still be very hot. Grind it up with a pestle and mortar (or spoon and cup if you are poor).

Add more chilli.

Perhaps soak ground chillis in a tiny splash of vodka first, dissolves the hot part. I have a bottle of vodka that has had half a dozen scotch bonnets soaking in it for about 3 years, hot as hell and the chillis have gone white.

Nah I just eat the seeds, they aren't really that hot

If I put the skin etc in my mouth its like slicing my tongue with a knife and then filling my mouth with salt and vinegar crisps.. I'd have expect it to have gone through the sauce like a son of a bitch.

Why not just take off the stem then put your chillis and sauce into a liquidiser and blitz it for a couple of minutes, then put it back in the bottle?

I just reckon there isn't a good dispersion of the chilli throughout the ketchup, one day I reckon you'll just get 100% of the chilli on one chip or something

Imagine about 100 bits of chilli... all floating in there That is the current mess

I think you're underestimating the seeds.

Maybe if you soak the chilli (and seeds) in a teaspoon of hot water first and then add the water, and just shake the bottle every couple of hours or so, to dissipate the zing, until the water is all amalgamated.

Add more chillis - the seeds hold barely any heat, it's the white placenta around the seeds that's hot...

I've got a book by Dr Burnorium that has some chilli sauce recipes, all the recipes advise around 10 chillis...

Ketchup is full of sugar and sugar is the chilli's nemesis!

You're going to have to add more chillis to the ketchup to overcome the effect of the sugar!

I've just ordered 9 of the current Guinness world record chillies, and ordered an already made sauce made of the same chillies.

My missus bought some chillis from Waitrose the other week that had about twenty chillis in the bag and on the front it said something like "one in ten of these chillis is a real zinger!"

I can't remember how she cooked them but she served them whole and made no mention of any potential hazard. I munched a few and they were quite nice, then started chewing on one that was a bit "Ew, this tastes like washing-powder." Seconds later it was "Eh...? w...t...f...?!" Then into the kitchen, gasping expletives and glomping milk, yoghurt, cream and chocolate.

"Sorry darling."

Not as bad as the one I had in Japan once, the size of a small Haribo. There were genuine ideas of an ambulance for that one, for the heart-attack I thought I was having.

So fuck your chillis.
