ALCOHOL IN COOKING

Contrary to what most people believe, and that includes most professionals, when using beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages in recipes, a lot of alcohol is left after cooking.

Here are the facts from the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA (1989).
ALCOHOL IN COOKING
Alcohol remaining after preparation: 
100% Immediate consumption
70% Overnight storage
85% Boiling liquid, remove from heat
75% Flamed
Baked or simmered:
40% after 15 min
35% after 30 min
25% after 1 hour
20% after 1.5 hour
10% after 2 hours
 5% after 2 1/2 hours
