Cooks commonly use vinegar when preparing food. Vinegar is made from alcohol but goes through a fermentation process. It is then diluted with water to make it suitable for cooking. Vinegar has many other uses aside from food preparation. It is also effective before, during and after laundering clothes. Clothing often comes out of the dryer with wrinkles and vinegar helps to quickly eliminate them.
