cooking sherry
Kitchen deglazing liquid
Cooking sherry is an inexpensive sherry wine intended for culinary use rather than drinking.
It typically contains added salt and preservatives, which extend shelf life but make it unpalatable as a beverage.
Regular sherry works fine in recipes and tastes better, but cooking sherry can be stored longer without refrigeration: The recipe calls for a splash of cooking sherry.
