Can I use any of these as a substitute for dry sherry in a recipe?
I have:
Martini & Rossi extra dry vermouth
Martini & Rossi Rosso ( I guess regular?)
Crystal Comfort
Harveys Bristol Cream Original Superior Sherry
I need a 1/4 of a cup to go in a Beef Teriyaki recipe. Will any of these work or do I have to go to the store?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Go the bristol cream. Won't make a huge diff.
Otherwise if you have some dry white wine it will do the same trick.
It will change the tatse a bit, but if you've never done the recipe before will you notice?
Teriyaki has a sweet flavour anyhoo, so a bit of extra sweet in the alcohol wont make a huge diff. reduce the sugar if you like.

You can use apple juice, vinegar or the regular Martini & Rossi you have. I wouldn't use the vermouth, but the Bristol Cream would work too. I don't know what Crystal Comfort is so I can't say about that. Given what you have on hand, I'd say use the regular Martini & Rossi. Good luck!

Absolutely! Use the dry vermouth, or even the other vermouth which is probably a little sweeter. I swear by cooking with vermouth... usually dry. Just use the 1/4 cup as called for. You might never go back to sherry.

You can use the Harveys or cooking red wine. Actually for cooking Asian dishes which need some alcohol, I would prefer to use Japanese mirin (great for teriyaki as slightly sweet) & sake. For small amounts, Chinese cooking wines (Jiu) like Hua Tiao, Shao Xing and rose (Mei Gui) are also good & fragrant. Oh, another one I like to use is from Japan, Choya's plum (ume) liqueur; a drinking wine but great in marinades.
The Japanese wines are also good to use with Western food as the distinctiveness is not so strong as to conflict with Western ingredients, I always have at least mirin on hand.

Yeah i think the Martini & Rossi extra dry vermouth should be fine. Will still bring out out flavors and work perfectly.
Have fun cooking! Hope it tastes nice!

I'd go with the Harveys. Have a sip first, makes cooking easier.
