Questions about Distilled white vinegar
Can you use distilled white vinegar for pickling?
Yes, if the recipe calls for vinegar with 5% acidity; use that strength and amount exactly, rather than diluting it or swapping in a weaker vinegar. It gives pickles a clean, sharp flavour without adding colour.
How do you use distilled white vinegar in baking?
Stir a little into milk and leave it for about 5 minutes to make a quick sour milk for some cake recipes. It also reacts with bicarbonate of soda, so add it only when a recipe specifies both and bake the mixture promptly.
Can you add distilled white vinegar to the water when poaching eggs?
A small splash can help the white set quickly, especially if the egg is not very fresh, but it is not essential. Keep the water at a gentle simmer, swirl it, and slide the egg in; drain it well so it does not taste vinegary.
How should you store distilled white vinegar?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard. It does not need refrigerating, and its acidity helps it keep for a long time.
What can you use instead of distilled white vinegar in a recipe?
For a similar sharpness, use white wine vinegar or cider vinegar in the same amount in dressings and sauces. In pickling, substitute only if the recipe gives the replacement’s acidity; lemon juice is not a safe one-for-one swap in a tested preserving recipe.
Is distilled white vinegar the same as white wine vinegar?
No. Distilled white vinegar is a clear, sharply acidic vinegar, while white wine vinegar is made from fermented wine and usually has a softer, more rounded flavour. They can be interchanged in many dressings, but the difference is more noticeable in delicate sauces.
What is distilled white vinegar made from?
It is made by fermenting alcohol into acetic acid, then diluting it with water. The starting alcohol may come from different sources, so the name does not necessarily mean it is made from white wine.
