Its peppers and vinegar. Dont put that in the fridge unless you like it cold. I dont understand what the confusion is here.

If the boys and I order a pizza around lunch on Saturday we will leave it out a few hours in case someone wants another slice. She won’t touch it if it sits out for more the 30 mins.
If this really is true, she is irrational about the situation and probably OCD in the wrong way about food being left out. I always remind people I cook pastalaya at tailgates for 11am and will eat that again after a game from the pot at 11:30pm and I’m still pushing strong.

Of the common brands I like Crystal, Louisiana HS, and Trappeys.

Valentina is good on scrambled eggs.

Left out. Cold hot sauce is an oxymoron.

Hot sauce and ketchup stay hot. Now Mayo on the other hand... I put it in the fridge. But there’s a bar I frequent where they always leave it out. No ones gotten sick yet.

If it is not refrigerated when you buy it, then why?

Hot sauce will be fine left out. However it will break down and separate much sooner in the cabinet than if you kept it refrigerated. Same as ketchup. So if you want to maximize the quality and longevity of your hot sauce (or ketchup) keep it in the fridge. If you don't care about that leave it in the pantry. End of discussion

It's an insult to legit BBQ restaurants everywhere to refer to that slop they serve at Hi-Ho as BBQ.

Depends... Well kind of. Most store bought hot sauce is shelf stable. Ph is below 4.7 percent and bacteria cannot grow in that environment. If the hot sauce is still alive (still fermenting) and was never fully pasteurized then you might not want to leave it out. You could wake up to Kahm or mold. I'm not even sure if you can buy hot sauce that hasn't been pasteurized. Lot of regs on fermented foods.

You don't have to refrigerate it.

That said, ours is in the fridge.

The only condiment I refrigerate is mayo.

Refrigerator space is a premium.

No refrigerator for hot sauce, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, soy sauce etc. at my house. Same for my parents. We've made it for decades without incident.

I have bottles of opened hot sauce that have stayed in a pantry for years (usually gifts of unusual sauces), and they are good to go.

Idk if it’s been covered in this thread but I’ve recently tried Poiriers hot sauce and it’s pretty damn good. But it’s also $13 a bottle so I’m not buying that. Can’t justify spending that much on hot sauce when I can buy Louisiana hot sauce for $2.
