Well, its cheap sherry that you would consider not quite good enough for drinking, or any sherry that has been open to the air for long enough to alter its flavour slightly (say a few weeks) but you don't want to just throw it away.

∙ 12y ago"Cooking sherry" is sherry of inferior quality with salt added to make it unpalatable for drinking. It was developed during a time when servants did most of the cooking, in order to prevent them from consuming the sherry kept in the kitchen. Because it made to be unpalatable for drinking it is also unpalatable in recipes.
Cooking sherry is seldom used today, and never by serious cooks. Recipes calling for sherry should be made with a sherry produced for drinking. The type and quality used should be determined by the recipe, sweetness level desired, and cost.

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.
