Whats the point of cooking with alcohol, like vodka, if the point is to boil/cook it all out? What is the purpose of adding it then if you end up getting rid of it all?
In: Other
1. It doesn’t all cook out. Depending on the cooking method, a majority of the alcohol may remain, but in any case enough remains to change the way the food tastes.
2. Some chemicals are not water soluble, but are soluble in alcohol. Cooking with alcohol can bring out those flavors.
