The Best Apple Cider Vinegar Substitutes To Use
NEWS
BY ROBERT HAYNES-PETERSON
Apple cider vinegar has become something of a must-have in everyone's kitchen, but if you run out, there’s a few vinegars in your pantry that can work in its stead.
White rice wine vinegar is the best replacement thanks to its slightly sweet, complex flavor notes. Be sure and grab rice wine vinegar and not just rice wine: They are different.
Many light-colored vinegars work
as a 1:1 replacement for apple cider vinegar. White wine vinegar is an effective substitute and won't adversely affect the product’s flavor.
If you only have red wine vinegar on hand, that works, too. In baking, substitute it at a 1:1 ratio, but in other cooking, consider adding half as much more red wine vinegar.
Another excellent alternative if you have it is lightly aged sherry vinegar. It's almost the same color and offers a similar sweetness to apple cider vinegar.
