Even after cooking food with alcohol in it for 2.5 hours, some of it still remains. Furthermore, it is chemically impossible to remove all the alcohol because it binds itself to the water in the food.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Please see the following link for more information:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.todayifoundout.com\/index.php\/2011\/11\/alcohol-doesnt-really-cook-out-of-food-in-most-cases\/\">https:\/\/www.todayifoundout.com\/index.php\/2011\/11\/alcohol-doesnt-really-cook-out-of-food-in-most-cases\/<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Even if only a little bit of alcohol was to remain, it would still not be permitted, because there is a consensus that whatever amount it is haram to drink alcohol, whether it is a little bit or a lot.
