FAQs — Salt of Satan

Is Salt of Satan for me?

If you love hot pepper sauces or spicy food, then Salt of Satan is most definitely for you. If you like bland food, we wish you well, and recommend you shop elsewhere.

How is Salt of Satan different then a hot sauce?

Hot sauces contain sugar, vinegar, and additives that mask and alter the taste of your food. Salt of Satan is made with fresh hot peppers and kosher salt — so it adds bright flavor and a clean heat that enhances the natural taste of your dish.

Why do you use kosher salt?

Because it’s the gold standard of culinary salt, prized for its purity, clean taste, and an optimal flake size that makes it versatile enough to be used for cooking, pickling, and as a finishing salt. We tried a bunch of different salts — sea salt, rock salt, flake salt, Himalayan pink salt, Hawaiian black salt, Persian blue salt, French grey salt and others, but found that kosher salt worked best.

Does that mean Salt of Satan is Kosher?

We don’t have a Kosher certification, but Salt of Satan is made in a kosher kitchen by a former yeshiva student, with kosher salt and fresh hot peppers, using Pareve equipment. So it’s definitely not treif, and can be used in both dairy and meat dishes.

How hot is Salt of Satan?

Depends on which one you order. We offer several varieties, ranging from Hot to SuperHot. But there’s nothing mild here.

Will eating it melt off my face like that guy from Indiana Jones?

Absolutely not. This isn’t the scorch your palate stuff you’d only eat on a dare. This is delicious, spicy salt that will delight your tastebuds and elevate your meal.

But aren’t Carolina Reaper peppers too hot to eat?

They’re way too hot to enjoy alone. Which is why we blend our hot peppers with the right amount of salt — so you can enjoy the heat, the flavor of the peppers, and the taste of your meal.

Is Salt of Satan a form of culinary masochism?

Salt of Satan is simply gourmet hot salt. We don’t know what “culinary masochism” is, but if you’re looking to hurt yourself, we recommend calling your local crisis intervention hotline.

What if I don’t like spicy food?

You’re still here? If you don’t like heat and flavor, Salt of Satan is not for you. But spicy food is one of life’s great joys — you should consider trying some.

How much Salt of Satan is too much?

That’s difficult to answer as individual tastes differ. It all depends on how hot you like your food. We recommend starting with bit and adjusting from there. But none is definitely not enough.
