10 Heatseeking Ways to Use Hot Sauce

January 22nd is one of our favorite days of the year: National Hot Sauce Day! In celebration, we’re letting you in on ten of the best, most unique ways to enjoy hot sauce. Hot sauce is extremely versatile and there are endless ways to add some spice to what you eat.

Make it a goal to try all ten of these at least once in 2020!

  1. Stir it into Soup: It’s wintertime and temperatures here in the Northeast are currently freezing. Foods to warm up with are a necessity. Stir some hot sauce into your soup for a kick of heat and flavor and make your winter blues disappear! This works best with chili, tortilla soup, black bean soup, or any Mexican or Asian-style soup.

  1. Make Mexican Hot Chocolate: Hot chocolate is another popular way to warm up during the winter. Turn it into Mexican Hot Chocolate by simply adding a dash of hot sauce! Cayenne pepper hot sauce is the way to go here as it mixes well with the chocolate taste and creates a delicious blend.
  1. Heat Up Hollandaise: We love a breakfast with hollandaise sauce. Mix in some hot sauce to give your Eggs Benedict that extra boost!
  1. Create Salad Dressing: There are a few creative ways to incorporate hot sauce in salad dressing. Our favorites are either whisking some sauce into vinaigrette or mixing it with ketchup and mayo for yummy Thousand Island dressing.
  1. Boost a Burger: Hot sauce fits very well on this American classic. Simply mix some Sriracha into your ketchup and your burger is brought to a whole new level!

  1. Get Brining: Brining is fantastic for adding flavor to meats. Spice up your chicken or turkey with a mixture of a gallon of water, a ½ cup of kosher salt, and 4.5 tablespoons of Tabasco Sauce. Let it sit for 8 hours before throwing it in the oven. The result will be an intense, well-rounded flavor.
 
  1. Add a Dash to Ribs: The smoky aroma of good, tender ribs is excellent for mixing with hot sauce. The heat and smokiness come together as one for an intensely-flavored rack of ribs.
 
  1. Serve a Spicy Bloody Mary: We recommend using Sriracha for the best drinkability and enjoyment out of your enhanced Bloody Mary. It brings a strong pepper flavor, and hits with the perfect amount of spice.
 
  1. Make Popcorn Pop: Add a few drops in melted butter and douse onto your popcorn. It makes a great snack for movie night!
 
  1. Whip Up Some Homemade Wing Sauce: Experiment with your favorite sauce and create your own homemade wing sauce. Exploring different varieties and combinations to see what you like best is always fun. We recommend giving PICS Hot Sauce a try!

There are tons of ways to spice up your dishes with hot sauce: These are just some heat-seeking suggestions. Get adventurous and try some new things out for yourself, starting with the options on this list. Visit your local store to pick up a bottle of PICS Hot Sauce to get you started!

 

Happy Hot Saucin’!

Do you know which knife to use?

Knives are an essential kitchen tool and are a worthy investment for any cook. Knife blades can be made of different metals with benefits and drawbacks. Carbon steel blades are easily sharpened due to their soft consistency but tend to discolor over time. A stainless steel blade is incredibly durable and won’t rust, corrode or discolor; however, it’s more difficult to sharpen. The most commonly used metal is high-carbon stainless steel, which resists corrosion and sharpens easily. 

Here are the essential knives for any kitchen:

French Knife

This kitchen workhorse does everything from mincing garlic and chopping onions to cutting whole chickens. The knife tip can be used for trimming, peeling or scoring foods, while the flat side of the blade can be used to crush garlic. A good blade length is about 8 inches.

Paring Knife

A paring knife is short, easy-to-handle and is best for detail work, such as peeling and cutting garlic, soft fruits or boiled potatoes, and hulling strawberries. Its rigid blade is about 3 to 4 inches long.

Boning Knife

A boning knife is used for the intricate work of trimming silver skin from tenderloins, removing the breast from a whole chicken or separating meat from the bone. The thin blade can be flexible or rigid with a length of 5 to 7 inches.

Serrated Utility Knife

This knife is suitable for a variety of tasks, including slicing tomatoes and cutting bread. The blade is slightly flexible and between 10 and 12 inches long.

Keep it Sharp

Did you know that it’s easier to cut yourself with a dull blade than it is with a sharp blade? Sharpen your knives with a sharpening stone (a flat brick of synthetic abrasives), steel (slightly abrasive steel rod), or other sharpening tools. Discover more knife honing and sharpening tips in our Knife Skills video!

It’s Paczki Time!

Want to hear something sweet? Paczki are back! We love these Polish treats and they’re one of our main sources of happiness following the holiday season, after we’ve taken our decorations down. Paczki are polish donuts that date all the way back to the 16th century. Back then they were filled with pork fat, but have since evolved into tasty pastries filled with a variety of yummy flavors. 

In Poland, some bakers fill Paczki with an almond paste rather than the typical marmalade, and it is said that the person who eats one of these will have good luck for the coming year! On the other hand, the Polish believe a year without having eaten a Paczki donut is bad luck and will leave you unsuccessful in life.

We’ve been offering Paczki of our own for over 20 years and love offering this traditional treat to our customers each year. This year we’re back with a fresh lineup of flavors, including NEW Lemon Raspberry, which was submitted by a Facebook user from Glenville NY and voted Fan Favorite on our Facebook page earlier this year! We’re also introducing Caramel Apple and Chips Ahoy! flavors, and bringing back favorites like Crème Filled Powdered Sugar and Cookies ‘N Crème Filled.

Stop by your local store to pick up mix & match Paczki 4 packs, buy one get one free this week with AdvantEdge Card! We cherish the opportunity to have a part in this long-valued tradition and we hope you love these sweet pastries as much as we do.

Happy Paczki Season!

Can Crazy week is a great time to stock up – canned foods connect budget and benefit in delicious, nutritious ways. Canned foods bring so much to the table – prepped and ready fruits, vegetables, and proteins like chicken, beans and seafood – research shows that adults and children have higher quality diets, including enjoying more vegetables, fruits and fiber when canned foods are on the menu. We know you are always resolved to feed your family well, especially as a fresh New Year begins. Can Crazy helps you make that happen!

Canned foods have evolved – fresh produce is washed, prepped and canned within a day or two of harvest, sealing in flavor and nutrients. Flavor makers like spices, herbs and spicy peppers have moved in and sodium and sugar has been reduced or removed from many items, expanding opportunities to enjoy new twists on old favorites and exploring authentic international flavors. Connect that dot to the opportunity to support sustainability – cans are the most recyclable container we use, and you have a winning plan.

These delicious ideas showcase a couple of Can Crazy-easy meals – Pulled Chicken Tacos 3 Ways and Hearty Turkey Chili. In addition, the Seafood Team keeps innovating – explore adding more seafood to your meals with new Market 32 Stuffed Fillets. Balance your plate with double servings of produce, like Delmonte Canned Vegetables or PICS frozen Steambag Veggie options. PICS Yogurt Fest freshens up breakfast and snacking with PICS Icelandic, Greek and Traditional yogurts all month long. Create a power play with yogurt or Clif, Luna and Kind Bars and fresh fruit – Halo Clementines, Navel Oranges, Anjou and Red Pears, Peaches, Nectarines, Cantaloupe and Grapes are all featured this week, and make a sweet treat that energizes your busy family with fresh choices and nutrition benefits.

Everyone loves a good pizza, but sometimes you’re in the mood for something different. What if you have pizza dough at home, but don’t necessarily want pizza? There are more ways to put it to use than you might think. Check out these ten ways to use pizza dough, outside of pizza!

10 Ways (Besides Pizza) to Use Pizza Dough

1. Calzones: At the end of the day, calzones are something like an inside out pizza. Crispy dough filled with cheese, sauce, meat, and all your favorite toppings. Delicious!

2. Doughnuts: On some occasions, pizza is eaten for breakfast, and it’s a topic of much debate. However, it’s a fact that the dough is great for making morning doughnuts. Making doughnuts with pizza dough will give you a slightly denser doughnut, but it will certainly do the trick!

3. Breadsticks: Thin and crispy breadsticks are very easy to make with pizza dough. When rolling out the dough, rub a light coating of olive oil on the countertop or in your hands. Roll the dough into long, skinny sticks, and place in the oven at 400F for 10-15 minutes.

4. Cheese Sticks: Cheese sticks are a great alternative to a whole pizza. Simply press the dough into 8-inch squares and brush the top with oil. Sprinkle cheese and some Italian seasoning to finish it off. Finally, bake for 6-8 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.

5. Pot Pie: Use pizza dough as the crust in your favorite pot pie. The best thing about pot pie is that you can throw almost anything you want in. Meats, vegetables, whatever you choose and you’re good to go.

6. Crackers: Crackers made from pizza dough make for a great snack. They are delicious and easy to make. Just make sure your dough is rolled as thin as possible.

7. Dumplings: There are many different styles of dumplings. Did you know that you can use pizza dough to make them? Pizza dough works great for making fluffy dumplings and even for the flatter, Southern-style variation.

8. Pigs in a Blanket: Pigs in a blanket is the name given to any type of mini hot dog or sausage wrapped in dough. Try it with pizza dough!

9. Pinwheels: Pinwheels make for a great gameday snack and there are a number of ways they can be prepared. Use pizza dough, cheese, chicken or bacon (or both), and some shredded zucchini or spinach.

10. Fruit and Cheese Bakes: Essentially a fruit tart, fruit and cheese bakes can be made with pizza dough. Spread some cottage cheese on the dough, add your favorite fruits like apples and pears, and bake. It’s that easy!

These are just ten of the many ways to get creative with pizza dough. Pick up some pizza dough from your local store and discover your new favorite way to use this versatile product!
