Question 1

Several questions, 1) best way to heat it before use? 2) best way to store? 3) can this cause skin burns? 4) best way to dilute it down a little?

Accepted Answer

I've used extracts regularly for years! Here is a little more info.1: Heat it by placing in the whole bottle in front of a small space heater for 10 minutes, or by letting the bottle sit in warm water inside a plastic bag if you don't want the label ruined. It doesn't need to be hot, just warmed up to become completely liquid. Don't microwave. You should definitely heat it before use, whether that use is to have fun using it directly or to use as an additive. If you don't heat it before using, it coagulates and the strongest parts of the capsaicin are locked inside with lesser gel outside, whereas if its liquid, its easy to gently swirl and mix it up, and it dilutes better.2: No need to refrigerate, but it is best kept in a cool dry place. This bottle will easily stay good and retain its heat for 10 years or more.3: No. It hurts, but it cannot cause actual chemical skin burns unless you use a very large amount on your skin for a very long time. The effect of capsaicin is temporary and will fade away after a short while. If you get it on particularly sensitive skin (maybe because you forgot to thoroughly wash your hands before using the bathroom?) the burning sensation can last for hours, or a couple days if you don't properly clean it off.5: To dilute it down, you can add it in its warmed up state directly to hot foods such as a pot of chili and stir thoroughly. It does not mix well at all when cold. To make sauces, or to dilute it for testing purposes, it mixes very well with alcohol and/or vinegar.

Question 3

Is this really $80 sauce ..please help me understand

Accepted Answer

This is the 2nd or 3rd hottest thing on the planet. Your average bottle of Tabasco sauce at around $5.00 is around 3000-5000 Scoville heat units. This is 9 million Scoville heat units. When you do the math, it's actually quite a bargain.

Question 4

It says, "...warm bottle to 140℉ to be able to remove the pepper extract from the bottle". Well, what is the proper way to heat up the bottle??

Accepted Answer

I would warm it in hot water
