Reduce Fat
Reduce Fat adaptations suggest recipe changes intended to lower fat compared with the Base Recipe while keeping the recipe functional and satisfying.
What It Means
When Reduce Fat is available for a recipe, Adaptable Recipes looks for practical ways to reduce fat while preserving the overall character, texture, and function of the dish.
Changes may involve reducing added oils or fats, choosing leaner ingredients, using lower-fat alternatives where appropriate, or adjusting preparation methods and quantities so the recipe continues to work as intended.
What May Change
- Added oils, butter, shortening, or other fats
- Higher-fat meats or other ingredients
- Dairy products and similar ingredients when appropriate
- Ingredient quantities
- Preparation and cooking methods
- Available substitutions, timing, or recipe notes when relevant
How to Use It
- Open a recipe on Adaptable Recipes.
- Choose Reduce Fat when it is available for that recipe.
- Select any other compatible adaptations or ingredient substitutions you want.
- Choose Apply Changes to build the coordinated adapted recipe.
Adaptations vary by recipe, so Reduce Fat will only appear when it makes sense for the recipe you are viewing.
