Make your own! Only we select every single ingredient for you. Really, only the cheese one looks decent to me. The chili sauce one was unbelievable. they give you a secret spice mixture and then you say I made this. No. That's utter nonsense. If the kit was just the bottles and a bunch of lids for multiple batches with a book explaining the sanitization process, a list of suggested recipes, and a fundamental list of general ingredients commonly added to hot sauces and what they accomplish when used, that'd be great. I do my own canning of salsas, chutneys, and sauces, as well as ferment my own foods and beverages. and having an all-in-one startpoint from an authoritative source would have been nice. but just being given a bag of powder and told to mix it with stuff from cans to make your own is fake as hell. There is a point at which guidance becomes hand-tying, and the chili sauce one is just flat out a set of handcuffs.

I wish they had done Chef Bogarde pizza box kit! I LOVE those! My whole family does! Its one of the few pizzas that you dont dare put ranch on because its just SO GOOD by itself! The kits use to include a packets of grated Parmesan but they just contain the ingredients to make the dough and the can of sauce which is SO DELICIOUS! You can buy the cans of sauce at Walmart only and we do! The pizza is so good! Its the only thin crust pizza Ill eat and its not a crispy crust which I love! I like soft crusts and just something about this pizza sauce is magical!

These kits were all wildly overpriced. I can confidently say that 20 minutes of googling/youtubing, and a trip to your local grocery store will save you 75% or more on any of them (you're going anyways, seeing as half the ingredients weren't provided, and better yet, you'll be able to reproduce it and tweak it any time you want. This video watched like a sponsored ad as it wasn't nearly critical enough of what was provided, and the value for the money.

It's too bad they didn't give you a bunch of ancho and guajilla chilis and tell you how to make chili sauce the right way. It's much better than powders and one measly chipotle pepper. Smoked, properly dried ancho that smells like raisins and tastes quintessentiallt like Mexican chili sauce is 1, 000, 000 x better than 1 dried chipotle pepper any day of the week. That's my only gripe.

Bacon one was cool but really, the only unique ingredient there is the sodium nitrate. Got a good sized bag for under 10 online and its lasted me quite a while. Made over 10kg of bacon and I still have more than half of the salt left: )
Just diy the seasonings and pick the flavours you want

Bacon and halloumi ones are inspiring. I wouldn't buy the gin one for any of my gin-loving friends as I think they'll be disappointed that it doesn't taste of gin. I already have all the stuff I need to make home-made chili sauce (it's simple enough without a kit, IMHO)

Chili sauce kit was too much. The ingredients are very affordable and easy to make.
I've been seeing ads for this product called spike your juice which takes a simple store bought juice and turns it into booze. I'd like to see you guys have a go at it.

Food grade sanitizer is the way to go. My strawberry fig habanero preserves used to only last a year, max. Then I remembered from my beer brewing that food grade sanitizer was a thing. Now my preserves last upward of two years in a jar.
