I'm especially fond of using Merlot to deglaze the pot after cooking a roast; add a few mushrooms and thicken with arrowroot or a dark flour roux and you have a gravy

... that looks good by reading it. I'll have to try, thanks.

Not directly related to the things you want to cook, but I had some corn on the cob & Bratwurst both prepared over cahrcoal & basted with very strong IPA beer (Arrogant Bastard brand which can be hard to get but is seriously bitter). It was amazing. Good luck.

Cooking with wine and beer means cooking while drinking wine and beer. So, buy the very best beer and wine and start cooking! :laugh:

Unfortunately he doesn't, that's why we exported him to Canada.

and i really wanted to like it - those "it's Australian for beer" commercials made me think it would be at least OK.

Was this before you knew that marketing is all bullshit?

Carlton United Breweries. Fosters was actually quite good up until early 1989 when they decided on a recipe change, been shit ever since.

that a product is marketed doesn't necessarily mean the product itself is crap.

The rule of thumb for cooking with anything is that you should start with ingredients that are good on their own, i.e. don't go and buy the cheapest bottle of wine or beer in the store, get something you like the taste of. Beers are good for braises (i.e. pork shoulder "boston butt" roast). Wine and rice most definitely do not go together in the sense of "wine flavored" rice, however if you are actually making a dish of some kind with other ingredients then consider a risotto (white wine). Beer soup sounds nasty to me (like an excuse to put beer into something for no useful purpose) but of course it depends on the other ingredients.

Yeah, but in this case it is a truck load of crap.
