Questions about Tabasco sauce
How much Tabasco sauce should you add to a dish?
Start with a few drops, stir and taste before adding more: its vinegar tang and chilli heat can quickly take over a mild dish.
Should you add Tabasco sauce while cooking or at the table?
Stir a few drops into soup, stew or chilli con carne near the end of cooking, or serve it at the table so everyone can choose their own heat level.
What dishes go well with Tabasco sauce?
It’s a classic addition to a Bloody Mary. Try a few drops in scrambled eggs, baked beans or tomato soup, too.
Does Tabasco sauce need to go in the fridge after opening?
No. Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard; refrigeration isn’t necessary.
What can you use instead of Tabasco sauce?
Use another vinegar-based chilli sauce for a similar sharp heat. If yours is sweeter, add a little vinegar as well; sweet chilli sauce on its own will make the dish noticeably sweeter.
What gives Tabasco sauce its sharp flavour?
It combines aged red chilli peppers with vinegar and salt. The vinegar gives it a tangy sharpness alongside the chilli heat.
