You might wonder why Coca-Cola is used in so many recipes. Isn't it enough to just enjoy a cold glass with dinner?

Well, Coke actually has a tenderizing effect on meat. The acidity in the soda can give beef, pork, and chicken that fall-off-the-bone texture that's so delicious. The sweetness of Coke is also a great ingredient for flavoring marinades and sauces. If you love barbecue sauce, then you know how delicious a sweet sauce can be on rich meat dishes.

Now that you know a little more about why Coke is used in recipes, read on to try some of them for yourself!
