In a discussion about hot sauces, and specifically Dave's Insanity Sauce, on another forum someone posted this site
http://ushotstuff.com/hotSauceHeatScale.htm
I have no idea who this site is or how they determined the SHU in the table. I see Dave's Insanity Sauce Sauce listed twice, once as 51k and again as 175k SHU, that makes me suspicious. I am surprised at how low the SHU are for some sauces.
In addition to asking is this table accurate, I wonder if hot peppers lose a lot of their SHU when cooked into a sauce? Also is there a table of SHU that this site recommends for peppers and hot sauces I can bookmark?
Thanks.
