they would get a better buzz from some candy or cough syrup....lol
The alcohol will evaporate when cooked. But even if it didn't, there wouldn't be enough to intoxicate them.
Yes as long as you continue cooking because, it burns off the wine.
yes...If in the cooking process the wine is reduced to being "dry" (where no liquid remains, just a syrupy glaze), the alcohol has evaporated. The alcohol, having a lower boiling point, will evaporate before all the liquid is gone. To ensure this, reduce until no liquid remains. If this seems like a cop-out, there are a few very good non-alcoholic wines.
The alcohol content will evaporate, but I am not sure if the kids will like the taste! Is this something like a chicken marsala?
i dont see why not.. its not gona get them drunk.
Sure. The alcohol cooks out, leaving only the flavor.
Eating wine and spirits
Is it safe for kids to cook with wine or eat meals made with more potent alcoholic beverages, known as spirits? Made properly, foods cooked with alcohol are perfectly safe to serve youngsters. The dish should be cooked long enough, usually several minutes, for the alcohol itself to evaporate, leaving only harmless trace residues and the concentrated flavor of the wine or beverage used. Cooking with wine, beer, sherry, and spirits can greatly enhance the taste of some dishes, acting as a flavor conductor to heighten the taste of all the ingredients.
Certain religions or lifestyles suggest that people not use alcohol, though, so some families never cook with it. If you think your dinner guests may abstain from alcohol in any form, even in cooking, ask them before planning the meal. If for any reason you prefer not to cook with alcohol, you can usually substitute nonalcoholic wine, broth, water, or grape juice with a splash of lemon juice.
Beer and wine have less alcohol and won't ignite, but stronger spirits will actually burn if touched by a flame or heated sufficiently. To keep alcohol from accidentally igniting―as some fancy restaurants intentionally do by pouring brandy on a dish and then setting it aflame―turn off the heat while adding the alcohol, then turn it on again to cook the alcohol off. And never buy so-called "cooking wine"―it's made from inferior wine and usually laced with salt or other additives. Only if an alcoholic beverage is suitable for an adult to drink and enjoy is it suitable for cooking.
of course it's OK
When cooking with either wine or brandy, if done properly, the alcohol will evaporate leaving the flavor behind.
yes it will
Yes. The alcohol evaporates leaving just the intense flavor.
yes, it is.
Yes, it will be fine. But I would suggest NOT cooking with cooking wine and cooking with real wine instead. Cooking wine has poor flavor, and cooking with wine concentrates the flavor. Only cook with wine you would drink.
not suree i had the same question. check this out
looks pretty bad
