Default Pure Cap

An indispensable ingredient if you want to add heat without altering
flavor.

Anyone else use this?

It's called "pure cap" but it's only 500,000 Scoville units --
barely hotter than a habanero -- pure capsaicin would be
16,000,000 Scoville units (per Wikipedia).

I've used it. Wasn't too impressed.

It is dilute cap. Ingredients= oleoresin capsaicin in a base of
vegetable oil.

Have you ever used it?

I use Dave's Insanity Sauce when I want to just add heat. One drop is
about right for a bowl of soup.

Dave's alters the taste somewhat. I used to use it before I
discovered Pure Cap.

Sure. It didn't add the amount of heat that it should have in a batch run of
our spicy-style sauce. We sent a bottle of the Pure Cap in for an evaluation
of scolville, and it measured out to have 287,000 S.U. rather than the
stated 500,000. We returned the rest of the Pure Cap to the distributor.

Hmm... I wonder what the equivalent of melamine is for jacking
up the Scoville reading in a lab test?

Indispensable! Great steaming heaps of bovine ordure.

If I want hot I select a chilli of the appropriate hotness and add the
right amount. I grow, I eat, I enjoy. Simple. Why do I need some
processed product? Because some advertising campaign or TV show said
I should? Do you really think you have or need such a fine level of
control? Take more water with it.

Why use it? Just to make 'em sweat?

I think it WOULD alter (detract) from the flavor of a dish by shifting the
experience from flavor to burn.

I might've tried it back in college!
