Alcohol in finished food
A study by a team of researchers at the University of Idaho, Washington State University, and the US Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Data Laboratory calculated the percentage of alcohol remaining in a dish based on various cooking methods. The results are as follows:
- alcohol added to boiling liquid & removed from heat - 85% alcohol retained
- alcohol flamed - 75% alcohol retained
- no heat, stored overnight - 70% alcohol retained
- baked, 25 minutes, alcohol not stirred into mixture - 45% alcohol retained
- baked/simmered, alcohol stirred into mixture:
- 15 minutes 40% alcohol retained
- 30 minutes 35% alcohol retained
- 1 hour 25% alcohol retained
- 1.5 hours 20% alcohol retained
- 2 hours 10% alcohol retained
- 2.5 hours 5% alcohol retained. [1]
