Can I cook using the wine?

[hayat84]

Salam 'alikum to everybody.I hope you're in the best of you health and Imaan.I've a question to pose to the wiser ones,it's about the wine.The Quran clearly mention its impossibility to drink it because it's harmful.
I like cooking very much and I've read that many recepies are made using the wine.the question is:"is it possible to use the wine ONLY while cooking something on the high flame,in the way that the alchool disappears at the temperature of 120°C?
I've never tasted this drink in my whole life and don't know which is its flavour.
would it be harmful even if it leaves the taste of grapes without alchool?
And please,don't start telling that wine is haram because I already know it I just want to know if it is forbidden for any kind of use.every answer is gladly accepted. wa salam

Hayat, some people say its ok to cook with wine because the alcohol evaporates with heat. However, it takes at least 3-4 hours of cooking at a high temperature for the alcohol to evapourate. Few foods require that degree of cooking at high temperature. Also, if the food comes into contact with the wine before the alcohol evaporates, I would think that it becomes automatically haraam and you can't "de-haraam" it.

Hope that helps!

i think this should answer the question sister

http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/103881/wine in food

Some restaurants marinate meat in alcohol or wine before cooking, then they cook it after that. They do that so that the meat will be softer and tastier. What is the ruling on eating that?.

Praise be to Allaah.
The fact that alcohol is forbidden in Islam is a well established fact and no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing it. It is one of the major sins that doom a person to Hell. This prohibition is mentioned in the Holy Book, where Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful”

[al-Maa’idah 5:90]

This prohibition is general and applies to all manners of using alcohol, whether in food or in drink. It is not permissible to use it in food or drink in any way whatsoever.

It says in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fqhiyyah (25/95):

The one who cooks meat with alcohol and consumes the juice is to be subjected to the hadd punishment, because the essence of the alcohol is still present. The same applies to making dough with it and eating it. This was stated by the Shaafa’is and Hanbalis. End quote.

Al-Sarkhasi said in al-Mabsoot (24/25), which is a Hanafi book:

If he makes dough with flour and alcohol, then bakes it, it is makrooh (i.e., haraam) to eat it, because the flour becomes impure from the alcohol and the impure dough cannot be purified by baking, so it is not permissible to eat it. end quote.

He also said (24/32):

If he puts alcohol in the sauce then cooks it, it is not permissible to eat it. This action is not permissible because it is using alcohol like vinegar, and we have explained that this is not allowed. End quote.

This is very similar to what is mentioned in the question, that alcohol is being used like vinegar.

So it is not permissible to marinade meat in alcohol or to soak it in it, and it is not permissible to cook with it at all. In that which is permissible there is sufficient and we have no need of that which is forbidden. The Muslim is enjoined to avoid alcohol completely, so we should boycott restaurants that use alcohol as an ingredient in their food and in preparing and cooking food, rather we should advise them and exhort them and warn people against them.

And Allaah knows best.

I would prefer that you use some substitutes when you cook and in recipe has some alcohol. I posted some substitutes to Five Star Kitchen section about the most common substitutes.

But it is better to avoid all that if there are substitutes even less effective
Muslim should avoid everything soupiciouse
