Does Alcohol Evaporate Completely When Cooking?

I’ve always heard that any alcohol added to a recipe would evaporate once it was cooked.  Makes sense, right?  Wrong.

Alcohol evaporates more quickly than water but there may be some left even after extended cooking according to the USDA.

If the dish is baked or simmered, here is how much alcohol is left.

15 minutes 40%

30 minutes 35%

1 hour 25%

1 1/2 hours 20%

2 hours 10%

2 1/2 hours 5%.

Obviously, you won’t get tipsy from alcohol in a cooked dish but if you want to avoid all alcohol for whatever reason, remember that some alcohol will remain even after cooking for several hours.
