the first time i heard of balsamic vinegar-Emeril Lagasse was
useing it on his cooking show. that was in the mid-90's. some balsamic
vinegar will cost alot of money-i think it is thick when it is expensive.
i use a store brand $5.00 for 16.9 fluid oz.. it is a watery type. it is
better than regular bottled vinegar.
I don't think I would "cook" it down. you may be createing a cancer
causeing compound in it. use as "directed"!!!!
i'm sure the american cancer society is working on a bulletin about this hazard even as we speak.

See, I have always felt that vinegar was a disagreeable substance, best avoided altogether (or, failing that, used as a stain and odor remover in ye olde washing machine.) Now it turns out to be a carcinogen! Yay! I have an excuse for disliking it now.
Next: why asparagus is Really, Really Bad for you.
