Do you cook with wine or other spirits?!
Answers: red wine, it's great for beef and sauces
yes! make the food much better, especially seafood, it will get rid of the fishy taste of some seafood
both, depends on what I'm making
you can cook with brandy and ale
no
With wine, red and white, all the time. I make a mean tomato vodka cream sauce for pasta. Then there's rum balls, and kalulah in cake, and the list goes on and on....
I use cooking wine (it is different from regular wine). I always make sure that the alcohol is cooked out leaving a great taste that is fine for my whole family
usually with a wine or wine based alcohol, but there is nothing wrong with rum balls!
No, as a teetotaling Baptist, I use other ingredients such as red wine vinegar, etc., plus I'm not that much of a gourmet chef anyway.
Just don't want to ruin my witness buying wine or beer in the grocery store and have to try and make excuses that it's "for cooking purposes". Or have it in the house for kids to get hold of and party behind my back with.
Both. I use beer in my barbequed pork, and beef stroganoff. helps tenderize the meat. Alcohol evaporates. Coke is great on chicken and beef roasrs, add some tomatoe sauce to it, too.
Vodka!
.......Oh, you mean in the cooking, no mainly wine
All the time.
In fact, I have a well stocked liquor cabinet that got stocked from people bringing bottles to my home when I hosted a party. I really don't drink much booze (except wine and an occasional beer). So, my liquor cabinet has become more part of my cooking pantry than my bar.
When you cook with alcohol, most of it has evaporated from the finished dish, so you are just eating the essence of the flavors present in the alcohol rather than the alcohol.
Sometimes
I use a red wine for Beef Dishes
And I use a white wine for Poultry
I never use to cook with wine, but when I found out that
the alcohol cooks out-- then I bought a Book on cooking
with Wine,and tried it & liked the flavors.
