cooking with wine

[bubbly1973]

if you cook with wine and heat it to boiling point, does that kill off all the alcohol?

yes

the alcohol evaporates quicker than water does, but still evaporates in a similar way, so it's not the amount of heat that's important, but how long you heat it for. Anything over I think 80 degrees for about 5 mins is anough for a splosh, longer if you've added half a bottle.

thank you for that fast response, i been googling for ages to no avail

Did you just know that, SP? My answer would have been the same as tinkers' - yes (but no science )

Aaargggh, I put an apostrophe in the wrong place - when talking to you. Typo, honest typo

Oi!

Oi what?

I have PhD in cooking with wine, I'll have you know.

um, yes. I know everything, me. and that apostrophe has been noted.

actually it's because I use alcohol to cook with a lot and you can still taste it if it hasn't cooked for very long. and I have a really good memory for science lessons.

I have a PhD in drinking wine.

I'm so embarrassed about that apostrophe I may have to change my name again.

Why boil away the alchohol? It's the best bit and the secret ingredient in most of my ccooking!

i know its the best bit, but im pregnant and also we are having guests over for dinner and they are at the moment ttc and have given up alcohol

ooooo i cant wait to drink again

thanks girls
