Can cooking sherry replace dry sherry?

In: Alcohol and Spirits, Cooking Tips and Tricks, Ingredient Substitutions [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, they are essentially the same product.

Answer:

Cooking sherry contains salt; dry sherry does not. Cooking sherry cannot be used in drinks at all (it's only palatable in cooking--hence the name). If you use it in place of dry sherry in a recipe, you may want to reduce the salt elsewhere in the recipe.
