Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hi Does it matter what kind of beer...dark, light, etc? Is it better to stick with a beer you'd actually drink? karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Exactly. If you can't drink it straight, don't cook with it. Same applies to cooking with wines and liquors.... even coffee. ~ PT ~ Praise, like gold and diamonds, owes its value to its scarcity. ~Samuel Butler, poet (1612-1680) ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~> , " bluetulipz " <bluetulipz> wrote: Is it better to > stick with a beer you'd actually drink? > karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 hi Karen....the original recipe called for 2 cups of white flour and one of whole wheat and the 12 oz. beer, did'nt specify dark, light or anything...HOWEVER...when I make the crust I use all whole wheat PASTRY flour (much lighter, less filling crust that way) and dark beer....also, I don't drink alcohol AT ALL, and I've had no problems at all, any time I have made this crust.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Ooohh, I disagree!! I can't speak for beer, but as to wine I have used many an undrinkable [to me] wine that worked *wonderfully* in food! And have used double or triple strength coffee in breads and such, that I would *never* have been able to drink! Pixx On 8 Jun 2003 at 14:09, ~ P_T ~ wrote: > Exactly.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Um, I take the beer part back..........I forgot~ I used to use it to cook shrimp in, back when I did that.........and I think beer is repulsive to drink.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Hm, well, cooking is all a matter of taste. I suppose I should have been more specific with my comment. What I meant was, I would not use anything in my dishes that I would not want to put to my lips on its own. I would not consider buying cooking wine, cooking sherry, swill beer or cheap coffee. I have however used a bottle of wine that I tried and that it didn't appeal to me so much. It was still drinking quality, not cooking wine, but it just didn't hit the spot; didn't want to waste it. ~ PT ~ An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision. ~James McNeill Whistler, painter (1834-1903) ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~> , " Pixx " <lists@p...> wrote: > Ooohh, I disagree!!
