  • • Vegetable oil can be substituted for palm oil, though it changes the flavor.
  • • Adjust chile pepper amount to suit your spice tolerance.
  • • Keep perishables at 40°F (4°C) or below in a monitored cooler. Discard food left above that temperature for over 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use potable water, wash hands, and pack out scraps. Never cook inside a tent. Check local fire restrictions.
