Dry sherries (Madeira, Sack, etc.) are very commonly used in cooking. I have never heard of cream sherry being used in cooking, though it would make sense for some types of dessert recipes.
yes you can _______ Red cooking wine would be a better substitute as sherry has a red wine base. White cooking wine wouldn't have the same depth.
You can use equal parts dry sherry/pale sherry wine; not the cooking wine... the drinking wine. :)
Yes. If you can somehopw get rid of the salt. They put salt in it to make sure ppl and kids arent drinking it to get drunk.
No, there's no need to keep cooking sherry in the refrigerator. It's fine to store it at room temperature.
You could substitute rice vinegar for cooking sherry. Rice vinegar has a mild, sweet flavor.
No. Sherry wine is a drinkable sherry, that can be used in cooking, while sherry vinegar is used only for cooking.
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".
Sherry is a wine that is fortified with brandy. Medium dry sherry is a cooking wine that is used in a variety of recipes.
No, they are not the same product and will not produce similar results.
Cooking sherry or any cooking wine for that matter is already bad by design when you buy it: Only the worst wines that can't be legally sold as sherry or drinking wine are used to make cooking wine as a way to still make big bucks on these defective products that would be used for vinegar otherwise. Cooking wines have salt and a bunch of other flavorings or chemicals and whatnot added, but that does not prevent them from spoiling. It probably has to do more with the fact that cooking sherry is the least fruity sherry, and is therefore less likely to keep for long, although this can be prevented by adding more sugar if it is sherry. It does not turn "bad" though, it just turns into vinegar and after it is fully turned into vinegar in a few months, it can be used in French dressing, to deglaze fried onions or gravy, to marinate meat, etc. It will still be a low quality vinegar, because garbage in, garbage out and that sort of things, but not a total waste. Sherry vinegar is a much sought after product. Quality sherry vinegars sell between $15 and $30 a bottle, depending on their age and origin (search for Banyuls vinegar for instance.)
