@Carmi: Carbohydrates in general, assuming they aren't burned off.

comment Cooking away alcohol
The process is called reduction. I'll let someone else answer the main question, as I tend to do it by taste...

comment How do you cook a steak like those found in fine steakhouses?
I think this is a good question, but really should be community wiki, as it's rather subjective (different people have a different idea of "best") and kind of a poll.

comment When a recipe calls for Wine, does it make a difference what wine to use?
@Joe and OP: Certainly I wouldn't start worrying about vintages, but the difference between Merlot and Cabernet is more than just a subtlety. I also don't think a typical double-blind taste test, assuming the subject "fails", necessarily proves that it makes no difference; simply not knowing which wine was used to make the sauce doesn't mean that they taste the same. An ABX test perhaps, where a subject tries two otherwise identical samples and then attempts to identify which one is the "mystery" sample, would be more interesting.

comment Can you make a sauce with beer?
Beware: CUI is a serious offense in some parts of the world.

comment How can I keep the cheese from leaking out of my cordon bleu during cooking?
Note: By "top" and "bottom" I am referring to the sides with and without the seam, respectively. Generally you'd start cooking them "upside down."

comment How long can I store cooking wine?
Honestly, who keeps downvoting this? I really hope I don't ever end up eating something made by one of you people who keeps opened white wine in the fridge for weeks and thinks it's still perfectly good. I'm by no means a wine connoisseur, but keeping any opened wine around for weeks at a time is insanity.

As a corollary to this corollary: If you regularly drink Two-Buck Chuck, ignore this rule of thumb. ;)
