Since the availability of this product to the general bipedal market, we here at DEFCON Sauces have kept tabs on what our people have used our culinary elixir for, and what they have used it on. It has become, by admission of these people, a true all-purpose sauce. The following is a list of of some of the uses, including the not-so-common variety. Perhaps you can come up with others.
Proper use of the sauce is to heat it up until barely simmering, to allow the vinegars and spices to rise in a vapor-like wisp known here at DEFCON Sauces as the "Vapor of Elysium". It can be used cold or room temperature as a dipping sauce, and many constituents do just that. But if you want unlock all the secrets, heat it up.
NOTE: DO NOT allow the sauce to come to a boil. It will become very salty, and it's life-essence will be destroyed.
Wing Sauce - The original use for this elixir was in fact for chicken wings. It has been enjoyed for a decade as such, and until only recently, remained the only use thus far.
Steak Sauce - A few of our reasonably normal customers have used this regularly on steak, so as to transform the steak into a 'steak of divine perfection'
Eggs - We consider the people who use this creation on eggs, to be reasonably normal as well. As a replacement for other well-known sauces, DEFCON Sauces has put the heat back into the morning meal.
Fish - Well, as the record goes, we here at DEFCON Sauces are always striving to hear the creative uses of the all-purpose elixir of life. One of the uses, that were told to us, the future rulers of Earth, was given to us recently from a far-away land, called Connecticut. This person, as all, shall remain, for the time being, anonymous, stated it was fantastic as both a marinade, as well as a warmth-giving condiment. This now brings our contrivance as a use beneath the seas.
Ribs - As a basting sauce, the DEFCON Sauces do well with ribs. To be applied liberally towards the end of the cooking process, it has transformed ribs, not unlike steak, into 'ribs of divine perfection'.
Marinade - It has recently come to our attention that a few of our creative clientele have experimented, quite successfully, with the DEFCON Sauces used as a marinade. We understand that the soaking times that have been used are a couple hours, up to 3 days before use. In the refrigerator of course.
Rice - One of our less than normal customers, who shall for the time being, remain anonymous, stated for the record that the DEFCON Sauces taste great on rice. His experiment was used on day old rice from Chinese food ordered the night before. To each his own.
Mashed potatoes - Well folks, again, to each his own. We have been told that it tastes fantastic on mashed potatoes. Once again, this coming from one of our less than normal customers, which is rapidly becoming the majority as of late.
Salad dressing - Well, other creative use was apparently found by another of our overly-creative constituents. They used a balsamic base vinaigrette, and added a small amount of DEFCON Sauces, and VOILA! A spicy kick to a boring dressing. Who would've -thunk- it?
Bloody Mary mix (A.K.A. DEFCON Mary) - I know folks, you're asking yourself, "Who the Hell came up with this?" Well, many things are possible after imbibing a few bottled inebriation devices, (a.k.a. Bottles of beer). When it was ordered, the client, who for now, shall remain anonymous, asked the bartender for vodka, ice and worcestershire sauce in a Bloody Mary glass, he then put a good blub of DEFCON Sauce (roughly 2 ounces) into the glass and shook it up. Admittedly I was apprehensive about trying it, but, well, the rest is history. I highly suggest it.
Marinara additive - A member of our constituency uses the DEFENSE CONDITION-1 as an additive to his marinara sauce. Not only does this kick the sauce into another level of being, it allows him to share this experience with others.
Tofu - One of our recently converted acolytes, who is a vegetarian, stated that DEFENSE CONDITION-2 tastes divine on fried tofu.
Fajitas - Used first at a hockey tailgate, this use quickly caught on to everyone attending the party. First the meat, then the DEFCON, then the vegetables.
Pizza - Yup, pizza. There have been a couple different methods that this has been used. I think the most creative was to mix a good amount of Defense Condition-3 into the tomato sauce. One guy marinated chicken in Defense Condition-1 and added it to the pizza before cooking it. This opens up a whole bunch of possibilities.
Popcorn - We have had a few customers say they put the Defense Condition #3 on their popcorn. Ok, different, but interesting.
Marinated Shrimp - We have a growing number of people tell us that they marinate their shrimp in any of the 3 sauces, depending on your heat tolerance, and the day day throwing them on the grill. Haven't personally tried this, but it does sound good.
Asparagus - This has become a new hit. Pour it on shortly before finishing your grilled asparagus on the grill.
Stir Fry - We have been told of this use as well. It seems it takes the place of Hoisin sauce quite well.
Hamburgers - Some individuals have mixed the sauce in with the ground beef before cooking.
Deer repellant - This one takes the cake. I was told by the gentleman who did this that he had trouble with deer eating his garden and surrounding plants in his yard. He took some DEFCON Sauce, put it in a pump spray bottle and diluted it with water. He sprayed the underside of the leaves, and the deer haven't been back. Folks, this one nearly made me fall off my bar stool.
