is vodka sauce safe for kids?

I want to make penne alla vodka for supper, and I found a recipe for vodka sauce however the recipe calls for 1 cup of vodka. I know that alcohol usually evaporates while cooking but one cup is still a lot of alcohol. The recipe also includes 3 cups of tomatoe sauce and half a cup of cream.

Is it safe for children to eat?

    the fact that alcohol cooks off completely is a myth. there is usually a percentage of alcohol that remains in the dish depending on the cooking time of the dish. that being said it is usually between 2-15 percent depending on the way of cooking. that would not be harmful even to a child but if your worry is that your children might come into contact with alcohol in any way no cooking does not make a dish alcohol free

    You do not need that much vodka, it is a flavouring to the sauce, no more than 2 oz is fine, I add it when I saute the onions and garlic, then the vodka, let it boil off then the tomato sauce, I add the cream when I rewarm it to serve over the pasta, that is how we did in when I worked as a chef in restaurants and hotel kitchens

    The comments about Australia are crazy. They without doubt had been initially a Gun Nut nation and protested when their executive wanted to take them away. However, they have got no longer had a mass taking pictures considering the fact that 1992 as a consequence and the Australians (even those who protested) will now let you know they believe a lot safer. Furthermore, now not all weapons were taken away; individuals still have searching rifles and if a foul guy or boogie man broke into your condominium, you may nonetheless be able to do a lot of harm with a searching rifle. My factor - can we fairly want each American to have access to machine guns and sniper rifles? Are not able to we hinder unique gun entry and best make hand guns and searching rifles available? Simply pronouncing.

    Yes, completely safe. The alcohol is burned off when you cook the sauce.
