You missed one. Ethanol can react with certain organic acids (like lactic acid) to produce fruity esters.

This is the only answer that makes sense to me. Ethanol vaporizes too fast, even if it solutes some stuff, it’ll just evaporate and the molecules will be back at how they were

@@joaquimgianini1234 the moleccules don't just go back to the same way they were before since they've been dissolved out of the food and spread to the rest of the sauce/dish. And not all of the ethanol dissapears at boiling point, some of it can still be left over.
@seanlefevre113011 ай бұрын
I guess you could say this kind of relates to number two, but it also enhances flavors by dissolving all the flavor in the pan. We deglaze to dissolve all the spices and fat and browned/blackened goodness on the bottom of the pan, then reduce it down and evaporate off the alcohol. This can really help put more flavor back in.
@uog29311 ай бұрын
You missed another which is that ethanol when added can incorporate the ingredients together in a larger volume but then evaporate leaving a smaller volume to have higher concentration of flavor
@Kokujou511 ай бұрын
you probably forgot the most common reason... you use alcoohol to deglace the pan. Alcohol is known to extract flavor. maybe that's also what you meant with reason #1. this is why you marinate spices or so in alcohol. like bourbon-vanilla. they suck out the flavor and once the ethanol evaporates all that's left is yumminess. oh and of course it's just so satisfying to watch your dish burn...

Another additional possibility - alcohol evaporates more easily than water, and can carry scents with it when it does. Since smell is a large part of taste, it can help to boost flavor by boosting smell

the faster evaporation can also help make fried goods basically fry in a shorter time when you use vodka instead of water, so it can make it crispier by evaporating faster

Adding alcohol to a dish doesn't make it alcoholic, it cooks away. If you have cooked with alcohol before and you don't like the flavor, then feel free not to use it. But if you haven't done it before, then don't knock it before you try it.

Alcohol in cooking is way overrated. Too many other things work better for any chemical reactions, and the taste of alcohol is just not worth adding to foods. Notice how no foods which do not have western European roots use alcohol and have never used it even though it was available in their cultures? Why is this? Who first decided to put alcohol in their foods while cooking? Why did they do it? Also, it is a myth that it "burns off".
