I've never cooked with beer

I just closed my eyes and emptied a can into a pot of chili. Someone please tell me it isn't going to taste like it smells!

1. Depends on the beer, but I love to add it to chili.

I made some braised chicken last night with a bottle of Dos Equus Amber and it was fantastic.

Hope it comes out great!

2. Just hafta' cook it long enough to cook off the alcohol. I use it in my chili and have added it to guacamole to good effect. Better beer tastes better.

3. I've used it in bread and batter for fried shrimp. I don't like to drink it, never have enjoyed the taste of it, but it does add to the flavor of dishes.

5. Oh, I've used beer in chili and it's yummy.

I've also have a crepe recipe that calls for a can of beer. Best crepes ever!

6. I've used beer as the liquid for cooking pot roast in the cast iron dutch oven and the taste was great. It adds a lot of flavor, but it doesn't taste like beer after it cooks.

8. Update

Chili turned out crappy (for me).
It was...shall we say...WARM!
BUT, family loved it....but I could still smell the beer.
Wasn't crazy about that.

9. I've put it in beef stews and used it in breads and it would be just fine in chili.

Now, franksolich has what might, or might not, be a stupid question.

Remember, franksolich is no culinary expert.

If the the taste of the beer is meant to be cooked out, what then is the purpose of adding beer to it in the first place?

Coach, I don't think that the taste is supposed to be cooked out, but the alcohol boils off in the cooking.

If it's beer or cheese, DUmmies only claim to consume varieties with non-English names. They are so sophisticated, you know.

It's got a lot of uses.  I typically use beer as a coagulating agent when cooking meats, replacing the the same amount of milk, vinegar, or juice.  The only thing you have to be careful with is the darker lagers may impart a bitter taste if cooked too long, due to the hops.

This use in a chili recipe is supposed to add complexity and flavor, if you notice the rest of this primitive's family seems to have liked it.  She doesn't like beer and got a good whiff of it when she added it to the mix.  Resonably, she was still thinking of the smell of taste and beer at the dinner table.   That's a rather common response.

Beer can chicken is usually a good bet.

Ain't it though, they just can't let themselves admit to enjoying a bottle of Budweiser.  They could at least give a shout out to companies like New Glarus.

We think beer can chicken is great, so moist with crispy skin. But I've made it with beer, orange juice, grape juice, and water, and cannot tell much difference in taste. Maybe 99.99% of what boils off is water, no matter what's in the can.

'Zackly.  The taste is from the hops and the barley malt, and other products of the yeast eating the sugars in the malt, not from the alcohol.  The alcohol boils off in cooking, the taste of all the other stuff stays there.  As noted by even the DUmmies, better-tasting beer usually ends up with a better-tasting dish when you use it in cooking.

How stooooopid do ya have to be to not understand beer is just like addin' any other spice? The only thing I use it for exclusively, is fish batter for my deep fat fryer. Can't imagine my fish without it! Never tried it in chili, but I do have some BQ recipes I use it in.
