cooking with wine or alchol

sorry i am bad at spelling, so is it okay to cook with alchol in foods.

Absolutely. It adds good flavor and the alcohol content is cooked off.

Ana

thank you very much.

Oriental cooking with Sake is great. I use it for meat marinades too. Spaghetti sauce (or any Italian sauce) is yummy with burgundy or Marsala wine.

Vodka sauce is awesome for Italian dishes also.

yes, red wine... white wine... just be sure you do not cook with any wine that you would not drink...
red wine in like a beef stew... white wine... you can make some nice lite sauces... little wine to deglaze your pan... little lemon... turn off the heat... a little butter.. goes real nice with fish.:)

The Best part of Birthday cakes....Is the Italian Rum Cake....

Most Good cooks always use wines in their cooking.....Makes for a Great Palette...

Ohh forgot the rum! Try that in chocolate chip cookies! Major taste treat.

how long would it take for the alcohol to be cooked off please?

THis should answer that Question Niki. It depends on what and how you use it.

Ana, that is very interesting! I've always heard that it burns off, but never thought about how long or percentages.


Thanks Niki for a great question.

thanks for the link Ana

I will have company in a couple of weeks but because she drives I never offer her alcohol but I was thinking of making a red wine sauce to go with a meal but then thought, wouldn`t it be awful if it affected her driving

I think I will stick to oxo

The alcohol left would not effect her, none of the dishes would be refused to a child in a restaurant so you know it's safe.

For most cooking practices there wouldn't be any alcohol remaining.

oh ok Ana, I can always say, Ana told me to

There ya go!
