Spicy

I’m buying some hot sauces (mostly to use in marinades/stir fry’s etc), but I don’t have a frame of reference for how spicy I like things: Is there a known scoville unit value for Huy Fong Sambal or Chilli Garlic Sauce? That’s something I use a lot and would give me a good frame of reference.


Pretty much what the title says.

I generally use some sort of pineapple based teriyaki or other sauces as a component of Marinades or stir fry sauces when using pork. My bottle expired, so I was looking to buy a replacement, and came across [this](https://heatonist.com/products/tropiquante-sinai-gourmet) which I really like the sound of. It’s apparently around 5000 Scoville, which I know I can handle fine, I use Jalapenos a lot.

However, I guess because I took too long to check out my order, I got emailed a free shipping coupon to entice me to finish ordering, and i’m wondering what else I should pick up with it to take advantage of that: I really like chilli flavor, as well as pineapple, mango, ginger, etc, and there’s a lot of them on the site that use things like that.

But I don’t really know what my upper limits are with spice: As I said, I generally can use jalapenos without an issue, Siracha isn’t a big deal either. About the spiciest thing I use regularly would be [Huy Fong Sambal or Chilli Garlic sauce](https://media-exp1.licdn.com/dms/image/C5112AQEIRQs-rskH6w/article-inline_image-shrink_1500_2232/0/1520241641946?e=1671062400&v=beta&t=gW0dYIslpMwKYVTcTiFI9p4hkoFSrNMJFlJc52HVz8Y), but I’ve seen inconsistent scoville units for those from googling: Anywhere from 5000 to 10,000 to 50,000 (I suspect it’s on the middle/lower end of that)

So i’m wondering if anybody knows a value for that, or if people here also use those, how they’d say it stacks up to something like [Adoboloco island wings](https://heatonist.com/products/adoboloco-island-wings-pineapple-cayenne-pepper-sauce) (apparently ~5000), [Year of the Dog Thai Chile Pineapple Hot Sauce](https://heatonist.com/products/lucky-dog-year-of-the-dog) (29,000), [Los Calientes](https://heatonist.com/products/hot-ones-los-calientes) (36,000), [The Original Goat](https://heatonist.com/products/ginger-goat-the-original-goat-the-og) (55,000), and [Tears Of The Sun](https://heatonist.com/products/high-river-tears-of-the-sun-special-reserve-5-oz-1) (70,000), to name a few examples of what else i’m looking at.

I think my upper limit to eat just like with a tablespoon plopped down on a burger or something would probably be something 2x-3x as hot as the Huy Fong sauces, though maybe higher since i’m mostly going to be using these not on their own, but as ingredients alongside to make combined sauces, which would dilute them.
