Non-alcoholic Substitute for Wine in Recipes

RE: Non-alcoholic Substitute for Wine in Recipes Post By Avinash_Tyagi (Guest Post) (11/11/2007) Actually its a myth that alcohol will evaporate when cooking, in fact its been shown that some and even all of te alcohol will remain depending on the methods used RE: Non-alcoholic Substitute for Wine in Recipes Post By Cinna (Guest Post) (09/22/2007) Hey, So my recipe calls for 1 cup of dry white wine- but it's for marinading lamb. I saw the other suggestions, and they look great for chicken, fish or beef/pork, but I'm concerned that it will change the taste of the lamb. I can't buy actual wine because my university prohibits alcohol. Any one have any suggestions? I might be able to buy wine-grapes juice (hope that makes sense) but it's kinda expensive. Lamb is a huge splurge, and I can't really afford too much more expense. THANKS, Cinna PS I put a picture of the recipe here. :) RE: Non-alcoholic Substitute for Wine in Recipes Post By LRP (Guest Post) (09/27/2006) i usually use either apple cider or juice or white grape juice. RE: Non-alcoholic Substitute for Wine in Recipes Post by Alph (213) | (09/24/2006) Contact Regarding how much alcohol, if any, remains in a dish after cooking: there are several variables to consider. How much alcohol was added, how long and how hot it was cooked, was it cooked in an open or covered pot, etc. I suspect a tiny amount will remain, regardless. The reason I think so is the note on non-alcoholic beer which states, "Contains less than 0.5% alcohol by vol.". To the best of my knowledge the way it's made is they brew beer, then remove the alcohol and carbonation, then pump the carbonation back into it. I presume they've found it impossible to remove all the alcohol, and the Feds decided if it had half a percent or more of alcohol it would be taxed as beer. One word of encouragement here: I've been cooking with various spirits for years, almost never using water except to make stock. I had developed a killer hot dog chili recipe that involved heating beer and mixing it in with the broken-up ground beef. A dear friend of mine has a church friend who is dying of cancer, and who happens to love hot dogs. She wanted to take him a few so she called and asked if I had any chili. I did and told her she was welcome to it, but then she asked if it had any beer in it; turned out her friend couldn't have any alcohol at all because of some medication he was taking. So I decided to make a small batch using water instead of beer, and another small batch uxing my regular 'with beer' recipe at the same time, to be sure the only difference between them was the beer. My friend had been trying to convince me to leave the beer out, and I intended to prove to her that it needed to be there. It didn't work out that way, though. When the two batches were done enough for a 'taste test', I tried both and discovered that, heck, I couldn't tell the difference! Now my chili no longer gets beer. One other note though, if you have to avoid even trace amounts of alcohol please be aware that it can be found in all sorts of unsuspected places. Pure Vanilla extract contains quite a bit, as do many other extracts. Some salad dressings contain enough to be a problem. In short, pay very close attention to everything you eat or drink just to be safe.

Depending on the recipe, apple juice or chicken broth often makes a good substitution for wine. When using flavored liqueurs, extracts can be substituted if you make up the balance of the liquid with water. For example, if a recipe calls for 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier you could use 1/2 teaspoon orange extract. Just be sure to get the same level of orange flavor. This may take some experimentation.

RE: Non-alcoholic Substitute for Wine in Recipes Post By Sappy16 (Guest Post) (09/22/2006) If the recipe involves cooking the wine, the alcohol will evaporate off anyway, so it won't end up alcoholic.
