Footnotes
- Editor's Note
- We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
