What may be a little bit of me. The alcohol remiaining in a dish that has
cooked is INSIGNIFICANT. The fractions involved translate into about 1/100th
of a tsp per serving or something equally bizaare and without significance.
The myth is not that ALL the alcohol goes away but rather the REAL myth is
that any amounts remain which would be legally a problem. Since the legal
bottomline percentage is 1 percent, alcohol used in cooking is really not a
factor to consider in any point that matters to a generalk population. While
certain religious groups adn rare health concerns may be of some imnportance
to particular individuals, their particular concerns are an individual
problem, not one which would (or should) have any impact on regulations
designed for controlling a general organizational policy.
The bottom line..Corpora says it may be boughten and used in cooking. If an
individual chooses to use religion, health or statistically irrelevant
amounts of alcohol as reasons not to enjoy good food, that is their choice
and off board is always an option.
