Scoville Scale

  I've tried to compile the most comprehensive list of the hottest hot sauces and hot peppers on the web. If there is any hot sauce or pepper missing from this list that your think I should add, please contact me and let me know about it. I need to know the Scoville rating for each sauce suggested, as well any other helpful information and links.

Some of the items (especially the one in excess of one million Scoville units and hotter) below may not necessarily be "sauces" you apply directly on food -- they are food additives and should only be used sparingly. The very highest ones are not liquid at all. These are capsaicin extracts and are powders or crystals, as pure capsaicin comes in crystaline form.
