  • A note on frying oil: Every oil has a smoke point — the temperature at which it starts to burn and break down. For high-heat cooking, use a refined oil with a high smoke point, and avoid heating delicate unrefined oils too far.
  • Keep in mind that every oven is different. Temperatures and times may vary from what's given here — get to know your oven for the best results with any baked dish.
