So you love hot stuff huh? Prove it! If you want to submit reviews of hot sauces, salsas, peppers, or other related products please read the guidelines below.
We require the following criteria when submitting a review. If you have more you would like to add, please do! We feel these cover the bases of a complete hot sauce review and provide our readers with useful information.
Taste
What’s it taste like to you? Is it vinegary, garlicky, sweet, tangy, tart? Maybe it has a hint of anchovies, though we’re not sure if that would be a good thing.
Heat
Of course, this is an important factor. Does it tingle your tongue, warm you up a bit, or completely melt your face? It is called HOT sauce after all.
Smell
Coinciding with it’s taste, most sauces are going to have a very distinct smell. Hell, they might even singe your nose hairs! Whether a vinegary scent or an overpowering garlicky aroma, let the readers know how it hits your nose.
Look
How do you feel about the overall presentation of the product? Does the label have an awesome design? What stands out about the packaging? Some manufacturers use unique bottle shapes and sizes, wax dipped bottles, and other additions to make their product stand out.
Official Description
Most manufacturers are going to include some kind of a description on the bottle or package. We feel it’s a great addition to the article and our readers love to hear what the manufacturer has to say about their product.
Images

The featured are the large images you see behind the post’s title, and the content images are smaller ones embedded within the text. If you want to provide an image, that’s great, but if it does not fit the required dimensions, we reserve the right to find an appropriately sized photo for the article.
