I was buying some sriracha for the office fridge today and I remem­bered a tip I wanted to share. You see, because it’s so deli­cious, once you taste this stuff, you’re going to want to put it in every­thing. And once you find it at the gro­cery store, you will. But while the squeeze bottle is great for dis­pens­ing this amaz­ing hot sauce drop by drop into soups and pasta and eggs and every­thing else, the law of aver­ages means that you’re inevitably going to screw it up.

And on that day when you squeeze the bottle too hard and squirt a couple table­spoons of sriracha into your entrée, don’t be an idiot. Just throw it out. You don’t have to prove any­thing to anyone.

I speak, of course from experience.

2. Don’t be a wimp. It’s not that hot. Next thing you know you’ll be com­plain­ing about how painful it is to string some cayenne pep­pers to dry.

   I wonder if I still have some res­pi­ra­tory arrest laying around for you. No, I used it all.

   I have a bottle. Pretty good on eggs. Doesn’t seem like it’s way hot.

6. It’s not that hot - it’s a ques­tion of over­do­ing it!
