How to choose a pack
- Decide how much heat you want. The meter runs from zero filled bars to five. Mixed Herbs has none. Cayenne has all five. Nothing on the pack is exaggerated.
- Filter the range above. The buttons hide everything outside the heat level you picked, so you are choosing between two or three packs instead of eight.
- Open the pack. Each one tells you what it is built for before you buy it, and links straight through to recipes that use it.
What is a heat meter on a spice pack?
A heat meter is a five-step scale printed on the front of every Awesome Foods pack that tells you how hot the contents are before you buy. Each step carries a word as well as a mark, so the level reads the same whether you are reading the pack or hearing it described.
Most seasoning packs make you guess from the product name. A pack called hot in one range can be milder than a pack called medium in another, because nothing anchors the words to a scale. The heat meter exists to remove that guess. It is the same scale on all eight packs, so a comparison between any two of them is a real comparison.
| Step | Word on the pack | Packs at this level | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | None | Mixed Herbs | Cooking for anyone who does not take chilli at all |
| 1 | Mild | All-In-One, Steak Pepper, Smoky Paprika, Citrus Pepper | Everyday family cooking, including food for children |
| 2 | Medium | Braai & Chop | Meat over open flame, where the smoke carries the flavour |
| 4 | Hot | Hot Masala | Cooks who want real heat carried inside a spice blend |
| 5 | Extra Hot | Cayenne | Adding heat deliberately, a pinch at a time |
Read across that table and the common comparisons answer themselves. Cayenne sits at step 5 and Smoky Paprika at step 1, which is four steps apart on the same scale, even though both are red powders that look alike in the pack. Mixed Herbs sits at 0 and adds aroma without any heat at all.
