Your best bet is to go to the wine and/or liquor store and get real sherry (wine fortified with brandy). Avoid the grocery store stuff labelled "cooking sherry".

I am making chicken marsala What is the best sherry you should use?

Chicken Marsala is traditionally made with Marsala Wine. But If you want to use Sherry wine. Buy the best one you can afford, the same for the Marsala ( It's an Italian sweet wine ) I recommend trying the Marsala. I say always when cooking with wine use the best stuff you can afford. The better the wine the better the flavor.


You are cooking for recovering alcoholics and the recipe calls for dry sherry and you are more then doubling the recipe you have what other liquid would go in spicy cashew chicked?

When cooking with something like sherry, you need not worry about a recovering alcoholic eating food that has sherry in it. Cooking removes any significant alcohol in the food dish, and for all intents and purposes, only adds a good flavor. I would not worry about substituting another ingredient for the sherry. Use the sherry.

What can you substitute for cooking sherry?

Cooking sherry is low-quality sherry with salt added. There is no reason to buy cooking sherry. Purchase any inexpensive sherry and this will give you better control over the sodium content of your food. For a non alcoholic substitute try a mixture of vinegar, sugar and a dash of lemon juice OR a mixture of apple, cranberry and grape juice. Orange or pineapple juice can also be used.


Can cooking Sherry be used instead of Red Wine Vinegar?

Yes, but the flavors will be different. And you should use real wine or real sherry, not the salt heavy 'cooking' versions found in many grocery stores. The alcohol releases and dissolves some flavors that water based recipes will not, adding to the flavors. Essentially any alcohol should be allowed to evaporate through heating to leave the flavor of the wine used. Whether a recipe calls for cooking sherry, wine, or not, I often deglaze any meats cooked in a frying pan with red or white wine. The French say that you should use the best wine you can afford for this process but I use whatever I have to hand.

What are three substitutes for Dry Sack?

Any good DRY sherry wil do. Just don't use cooking sherry . If it's not good enough to drink , you will not get a good result in your recipe . Ask for a dry sherry at the liquor store , but don't mention it's for cooking. I'm sorry I can't recommend any brand names , but I usually only cook with burgundy or sauterne .


Do you use dry sherry or creamy sherry in soups?
