Cooking with coke?

Postby freckle » Thu Jan 14, 2010 8:07 pm

I've seen a few beef recipes recently which use coke in the ingredients. Anyone used it before? I would like to hear that it turns out nicely before I pour it all over a big piece of meat.

I havent but there are many recipes from Southern USA that use coke for basting. It makes a nice sweet sauce.

It'll be sweeter than usual but still nice. Great with BBQ meats etc. (Think TGIF Jack daniels sauce) Coca Cola cake is yummy too :D

I've already ordered all my meat for the next few weeks so wont be able to try the gammon one for a while but I like the idea of a meal similar to TGI's! Mmmmm jack danials wings!!

I'm going to give the coke a go next week.

Oh YAY you! I even have some jack left over from Christmas!

I wonder if I could use the sauce to make pulled pork in the slow cooker?
