Akabanga Extra Hot Chilli Oil 20ml

Really hot! Just as I like it

Arrived on time chilling oil nice

This is an amazing chilli oil, it is so good I take it everywhere in my handbag. Just a few drops needed, so the bottle lasts a long time. Anyone who like chilli will love this, and want to buy it immediately.

Thus oil should have a written health warning and should be sold in lead containers. Its powerful alright but adds a zing to any Eastern dsh.

I loveeeeeee this chilli oil, can’t travel without it. I put it on every meat. Soooo flavourful. Can’t do without it.

Fantastic easy way to add chilli to recipes. Very hot one or two drops is enough, but keeps for ages if kept in fridge

Absolutely rubbish Came damaged and oil leaking everywhere Would not recommend

I'm a bit of a chilli-head and I like extra-hot sauces (not necessarily "enthusiast" or "extreme" heat, but something just a bit hotter than your average hot pepper sauce). Akabanga was suggested by Amazon while I was browser other sauces, and it caught my eye - so I thought it worth a go. And don't get me wrong - it certainly IS worth a go, and is perfectly pleasant. There's nothing wrong with it per se, but perhaps the size of the bottle made me think this was a bit special and I'd been expecting something a little hotter; this didn't fit the bill for me. I've tried it using it "neat" (e.g. drizzled on a home-made pizza, or a few drops into a chilli con carne wrap), but for me it didn't do much. I could obviously tell there was chilli oil on my pizza, but it didn't seem much different - if at all - to the standard chilli oil you get in big bottles on the table of any given high street pizza chain. Perhaps I got a bottle from a duff batch? I also used a few drops in early stages of cooking a dish, wondering if the heat might develop while the pot was cooking. I tried a goodly squirt of this in with the ginger/garlic/chilli puree while making a "desi style" curry but in truth I couldn't really tell any difference from my normal recipe (maybe because I already had a scotch bonnet in the puree, along with the other chillies). I also tried adding a few drops in the early stages of making a chilli con carne when I was browning the meat (made using a standard packet/sachet mix) but again once it was cooked I couldn't notice much/any difference - perhaps I needed to add more; who knows. It's not like I can't taste it, it's just that it doesn't give me the tingle I crave. Perhaps this is just because I've gotten used to hotter sauces and I've built up some sort of tolerance; I'm not sure. Again: the taste from the oil isn't bad, and if you like spicier foods then it's worth a look. It's just that for the size of the bottle I'd perhaps been expecting something a bit "extra" - not crazy, not insane, not dangerous; just something with a bigger kick. I still have maybe half a bottle left, and will give it one last go - I'll try *ALL* of it next time I cook a spicy dish: I'll use this instead of vegetable oil and see what happens! Flavour: fine. Temperature: warm. But if you're looking for something with a kick, then this shouldn't be your first choice.
