In Louisiana We Like Crystal May 27, 2008

Crystal Hot Sauce Louisiana's Pure Hot Sauce - 12 oz is popular here in Louisiana. We also like Tabasco Pepper Sauce Red - 2 oz, but we have both kinds and use them regularly. Many of us prefer Crystal for cooking. For example, my son-in-law prefers it for one of his special barbecue sauces. I talked him into letting me put that sauce in Flavored with Love: Mary Lou's Family and Friends Can Cook, but he told me not to share it anywhere else.
Paul uses it in his steak marinade. I had a really hard time getting this recipe from him, but I spied until I found out what it was. (He wrote it on a little sheet of paper that got grubby, and I watched him hide the paper!) This one is also in Flavored with Love. The Crystal Hot Sauce gives heat and flavor without dominating the flavor.

PAUL'S STEAK MARINADE
2 ounces lemon juice
2 ounces red wine vinegar
4 ounces beer
4 ounces soy sauce
2 tablespoons basil
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Crystal hot sauce (or less if desired)
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Use 1 time and discard.
Notes
Paul's marinades are splendid. He mixes them with a whisk until all the flavors are thoroughly combined. Then he adds the liquid to the food he is marinating.
When possible he allows at least 4 hours for all the delicious flavors to be absorbed. He turns the meat or fish occasionally.
He adjusts the amounts as needed for the amount of food being prepared.

With the prices of everything going up, it is necessary to save money any way we can. Making a variety of sauces from a few basic ingredients is helpful.
Crystal is a basic sauce, including only aged red cayenne peppers, distilled vinegar, and salt. It does not supply any vitiamins according to the label, but I suspect it does have some nutritional value that we just don't know about. It is excellent on collard greens, and as the authors of The Collard Patch we use it on our collards.
Here in Louisiana we can beat Amazon's price on this product. I don't know whether Crystal is available throughout the country and how the prices compare.
To us the bottle is a work of art, and we are delighted to serve it on our table. We take Crystal with us sometimes if we eat in public places that do not have enough seasoning. We are discreet about adding it because we would not want to offend a chef. We do realize that other people find Paul peculiar when he puts so much Crystal on his food. We NEVER take it with us when we go to eat with friends. We would not want to be rude. Maybe it would make a good gift for a hostess.
I hope you find this review helpful.
some of the most flavorful hot sauce i've ever had December 17, 2006
i fell in love with this hot sauce when i lived down south for a year and it's completely impossible to find in new england. i went ahead and bought a dozen bottles through amazon and i've been in heaven ever since. also, i hate to go to the nation's #1 "tex mex" fast food "restaurant" without this, it certainly turns it into something beautiful.
