Alcohol buring off while cooking? Is it a myth?

Err alcoholic drinks have flavour? You don’t literally add alcohol, you know that right?

You did not read my post right.

If flavor is what is intention then why not add just flavor, why add alcoholic beverages?

Second: Anyone who claims there is really an appreciable change in taste is just fooled by false advertisement or trying to show as being ‘cultured’. Great taste can still be achieved without adding alcoholic beverages.

@nadeemnirvana

The prices are not inflated just becasue alcoholc drinks are added, look at the menu and you will see non-alcoholic dishes at the same price.

**Yes, but those with alcoholic beverages have nothing else especial compared to those claimed to be cooked in alcoholic beverages.

**
alcohol in its pure form is infact tasteless, but we are not talking about that we are talking about adding red wine or brandy or rum and these are not tasteless.

Hence I said why not add flavor itself when there is still aa chance that alcohol would be in food?

One has to admit it is a gimmick. **People fall for it.

antioxidents are good for you. red grapes and fruit are good for you. really its proven science. science and religion sometimes conflict but we all can still all get along and appreciate each others views.

**Antioxidants are over-rated and old fashioned now. Besides there are other ways to get antioxidants. Vitamin E is one of the most potent antioxidants and is available in many food items.

None of the antioxidants have proven to make an appreciable difference to making people live healthy or live longer.**

lol “France the wine country”, i wonder how they view Pakistan

**What is this got to do with Pakistan? Come again? **

You made several points. Read above.

I am all okay if someone does not eat meals prepared with wine or other alcoholic beverage for whatever reason but giving as a matter of fact statements about something that you have no knowledge of or ever experienced is ludicrous.
Seafood prepared in white wine is very delicious and has a distinct flavor that you cannot get without it. I am not a big fan of meat cooked in red wine though.

You could not even describe what it would taste without wine. So how is your experience be valid?

@rizla86

Wait so does this mean I can’t use my cologne since that has an ample amount of alcohol in it too?

Haha I just love your blanket statements.

Not all colognes have alcohol and not all colognes have ethyl alcohol.

I hope you do not ‘drink’ colognes my friend.

Yes, there is no need to add any alcoholic drink to food items for flavor. Just add flavor if one really will die without so called flavor. People ‘taste’ something just because they are told.

Next time talk to a person who had that meal and ask if there wold really be a difference noted had that person not be told or was served meal without additional alcoholic beverage.

This is called fools falling for ‘delicacy’ or power of suggestion!
