Can someone explain how to correctly use vinegar in cooking?
I recently bought a bottle of wine vinegar but I'm not exactly sure what to do with it.
Also the smell is just horrible. It almost makes me gag.
Did I buy wrong vinegar? What do?
A splash in soup is good, adds a nice acidity to it. You can also make a vinaigrette for salad.

Well you use salt and sugar if you are cooking from your head. You can use it like that i think it cuts through and can liven up things. People use citrus i guess for similar stuff.
Aside from that you can use it for a dressing or i guess even deglazing if you are pan frying.
Plenty of recipes ask for this though like stews/casseroles and general meat/sauce dishes so I'm sure you can find something.
I personally use it mainly if i'm cooking pulses as it gives a bit of life or in pasta sauces if i feel like i overdid the balance of flavour.
Asian vinegar is also a good one to have for their dishes.
