Tabasco sauce
| Key facts |

Hot liquid chillies in a bottle. Perfect if you want to perk something up with just a dash of heat, and also useful when you've added fresh chillies to a recipe and they haven't quite provided the heat you wanted – a few drops will supplement it beautifully.
There are lots of chilli sauces around, but I find Tabasco has the best chilli flavour.
