The whole idea of “alcohol cooks out” was blown away by the University of Idaho, Washington State University, and the US Department of Agriculture’s Nutrient Data Laboratory several years ago.
Their study came up with:
* 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
