Notes
Cooking time varies according to the size and thickness of the bones.
Do not add oil. The marrow releases plenty of natural fat.
The marrow should be soft and scoopable but not completely liquefied.
Soaking the bones in cold salted water before cooking is optional.
Nutrition will vary significantly according to the amount of edible marrow in each bone.
Calculate nutrition using the actual weight of the marrow and any bread served.
