I bought this Hotsauce to sharpen all types of sauces. It is especially for inexperienced Scharf Esser fiercely sharp and you should dropwise work ran to the desired sharpness. As you get used to everything but with time the pain. What one is (in my opinion) not used the slightly pungent flavor extract, which rather interferes with the sauce flavor. Because of the size of the bottle and the good sharpness but 4 stars.
