A Taste for Art

2010-03-04T17:23:00.001-05:00

To continue our efforts to give back to the community, Demon Sauces will be at A Taste for Art to benefit Children & Families First. The event will be at Greenville Country Club on March 6 at 6:00pm. We will be donating a portion of our sales will go to the organization which "is a private, non-profit social service agency that strengthens families and communities by providing a continuum of quality social, educational and mental health services statewide in Delaware."

Check out Children and Families First website for more information: www.cffde.org

So come out for some great food, art, music, and of course to support a great cause

Donations, donations, galore!

2010-02-28T19:10:00.004-05:00

As you know (or if you don't you can check our home page information) Demon's Hot Sauce likes to donate a percentage of our profit to local charities. This past week we did just that. At Wilmington Friends School the 8th grade (the class of Chase and I) are doing a service project. It has to do with the overall wellness of the Wilmington area. We will plant trees for better air conditions, paint murals for the overall beauty and inspiration, and buy sports equipment for city wellness centers (I know the last one was kind of random, but our class has eclectic taste). The one problem was that our class's funds were very low (about a $1). So Chase and I thought it would be a great idea to donate to our class's service project. On Monday, the 22nd of February we were able to make a significant contribution to fund. As the service project moves forward we will make sure keep you up to date on its impact on the community.

The World's Hottest Pepper

2009-03-16T13:52:00.002-04:00

For decades people have believed that the Habanero is the spiciest pepper, while in fact Bhut Jolakia is the spiciest pepper. The Bhut Jolakia is also known as the Noga Jolakia, Ghost Chili, Ghost Pepper, and Naga Morich. This pepper has been rated at 1,041,427 Scoville Units. This is amazing because that means that the pepper are at least twice as hot as the Habanero pepper.
A recent addition to the bottles of hot sauce available... or well I wouldn't call it a sauce I would call it a heat additive since it really has no flavor. It is called Blair's 16 Million Reserve. It uses the pure extract from peppers, capsaicin. Pure capsaicin is rated at 16 million Scoville Units. This means it is 16 times hotter then the Bhut Jolakia, and way hotter then any flavored pepper sauce. There have been reports of people having to go to the hospital, because of a few flicks of the powder. Demon's Hot Sauce is sad to admit it, but unfortunately there is such a thing as too much hot.

Hot Regards,

Luke, CEO and President

Remedies for Our Hot Sauce

2009-03-07T17:07:00.004-05:00

As we know, hot sauces can give a burning sensation that, for some customers, can be over powering. There are a couple of tricks to know, so that you can cool your mouth down, and not end up making it worse. DO NOT DRINK WATER! Water is one of the worst ideas if you cannot face the heat. Water opens up the taste buds in the tongue, so that you will end up having the pepper sauce's heat get worse, and stay for longer.
The best way to cool down the effects of hot sauces is to drink dairy products, such as milk (other dairy products like cheese could also work). In dairy products there is a protein, called casein, that counteracts the heat factor in peppers, capsaicin. This idea was also proved on the popular Discovery Channel show Mythbusters. You can also help mask the burning sensation with stimulation from chewing.
It has also been advised to eat fatty foods and beverages after have hot sauce, though it has not been proven that this method works. The science behind this is that capsaicin is less soluble in water then it is in oil, thus the pepper sauce effect will be lessened because of the higher oil levels in these foods and beverages.

Once upon a time...

2009-02-23T17:49:00.004-05:00

One day, in the earlier stages of Demon’s Hot Sauce, Chase and I were making a batch of sauce. As we entered the bottling process, a bottle of hot sauce fell, the glass cracked, and hot sauce went everywhere. We picked up all of the glass, and Chase –being the creative one- looked at the hot sauce on the ground, and said, “It looks like… a dragon.” I came over to take a look, and despite my skepticism it actually, roughly, looked like a dragon. We grew a little bit obsessed, so we just had to take a quick picture. In our next meeting, we decided to take a quick peak, and while admiring our little accident we remembered that we did not yet have a logo. We talked to our design team, and thus the Demon’s Hot Sauce Dragon was created.

Luke, CEO and Co-President

P.S. We have since lost the picture :-(

Our Story

2008-12-23T08:00:00.008-05:00

Chase and I are both kids who strive to make great hot sauce. That's right, I said kids. Chase and I are both 13. My step-father, Chris, is West Indian. He was the one who taught me the basics of hot sauce. I loved it so much, I decided to make a business out of it. Chris owns a medical practice so he wasn’t able to put in all of the time that was needed to start Demon’s Hot Sauce. So thus, my long time friend Chase, joined the business. We had goals for this company. We made it green by making our packaging material from reused shredded newspaper, which happens to also be recyclable. We made our hot sauce natural by not using any artificial flavors or preservatives. In addition, we give 10% of our profits to worthy charities. Though we are still working, Demon’s Hot Sauce has done many things to make it the best pepper sauce on the market. Thank you for your support!

Hot Regards,
Luke, CEO and Co-President
