From shopping to cooking
Choose
Choose a balanced stout; avoid very sweet versions unless required and check allergens.
Store
Store sealed in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and use promptly for cooking.
Prepare
Use to deglaze before adding the remaining liquid. Cooking does not necessarily remove all the alcohol.
How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Use as a measured accent in sauces, dressings or braises without masking the main ingredient.
How to substitute it
To avoid alcohol, use a stock suited to the dish; flavour and energy will change.
