When I put alcohol in a recipe, does it all cook off?

Alcohol added to a recipe may cook off, but it depends on how long you cook it. Persons with alcoholism should be concerned with how much alcohol is left which will be inconsistent with a sober lifestyle. Rena Cultrufelli of the USDA prepared the following table of alcohol content in cooked foods. You can compare your recipe directions to the table to determine how much alcohol is left.
