Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 ~ Here is a chart that shows how much alcohol remains in foods after various cooking methods/cooking times are used. Common belief has been that " alcohol is destroyed by cooking " . I was surprised to see that this isn't necessarily true! I've seen other charts that list alternatives to alcohol in recipes. Water and apple juice are good substitutes. . .and so is sparkling apple juice! Alcohol can cause health complications (candida/yeast overgrowth, etc.). ><> LaDonna Alcohol Remaining In Cooking Chart - USDA Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Information Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- ingredients text only USDA, Agricultural Research Service, 1989: % ALC REMAINING PREPARATION --------------- ----------- 100....................Immediate consumption 70....................Overnight storage 85....................Boiling liquid, removed from heat 75....................Flamed BAKED OR SIMMERED: 40....................15 minutes 35....................30 minutes 25....................1 hour 20....................1.5 hours 10....................2 hours 5....................2.5 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
