Questions about Distilled vinegar
Is distilled vinegar the same as white vinegar?
The names are often used for the same clear, sharp vinegar, usually made from alcohol fermented into acetic acid and diluted with water. Check the acidity on the bottle if you are following a preserving recipe.
Can you use distilled vinegar for pickling?
Yes, if it has the acidity specified by your recipe; many tested recipes call for vinegar with 5% acidity. Don’t dilute it or swap in a weaker vinegar when preserving vegetables, as the acidity helps keep the pickle safe.
What can you use instead of distilled vinegar in a recipe?
For a similar sharpness, use white wine vinegar in the same amount, though it may add a faint wine flavour. Cider vinegar also works in many dressings and marinades, but its fruity taste is more noticeable.
How should you store distilled vinegar?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard. It does not need refrigerating, and its acidity helps it keep well; discard it if the bottle or contents become contaminated.
What do you use distilled vinegar for in cooking?
Its clean, strong acidity suits quick-pickled onions, cucumber and cabbage, as well as marinades and sharp salad dressings. Whisk a small splash with oil, mustard and a pinch of salt for a simple vinaigrette.
How many calories are in a tablespoon of distilled vinegar?
A tablespoon of about 15 g contains 3 kcal. It is usually used in small amounts to add acidity rather than as a main ingredient.
How is distilled vinegar made?
It is made by fermenting alcohol into acetic acid, then diluting the acid with water to make food-grade vinegar. Its clear appearance and relatively neutral flavour make it useful when you want acidity without adding a strong fruit or wine taste.
