Best Answer

According to Wikipedia and other sources, it is FINE to freeze butter or margarine, even in their tubs. If a tub isn't filled to the brim, it leaves enough space for the margarine or butter to expand.

Other contributions:

  • However, freezing a margarine will cause ice crystals to form, which will damage the structure of the emulsion (the water/oil mix). This damage might cause oil or water to seep out onto the surface when you defrost again, which has a bad effect on how it spreads on your bread and on how it tastes.

You can use them to freeze products however they are not strong enough to withstand the heat generated in the microwave, as the food heats up the plastic would start to melt and deform.

Is margarine cheaper than butter?

Margarine contains more "good" fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) than butter. It also contains no cholesterol because it is made from vegetable oil. However, solid margarines (sticks opposed to tubs) can contain trans fats, the worst fat of all. Butter contains more saturated fat than margarine. Be sure to check nutritional labels when deciding between butter and margarine. Both should be eaten sparingly for a healthy diet. You can also find healthier butters that have olive or canola oil.


Is margarine a solid liquid or gas?

Margarine is a kind of artificial butter and is formed from the hydrogenation of hydrocarbons. It is a solid at low temperatures (e.g, in a fridge) but soon melts and turns into a thick, viscous liquid at room termperature. If you put margarine into a hot frying pan it will turn into yellow oil almost immediately.

How many cups in a large can of remia margerine?

Remia produces margarine under the Remia Vital brand: "Fridge Free" and with a full margarine flavour. Available in 250g, 500g and 2kg tubs and 450g, 4kg, 5kg and 10kg pails. Remia "Fridge Free" margarine is produced in 450g, 900g, 4,5kg and 10kg plastic tubs, and 450g, 900g and 2250g tins suitable for unrefrigerated transport to tropical countries. Sounds like you're talking about the 2250 gram size. The US standard of identity for margarine specifies that it be 80% fat, and that it be the nutritional equal of butter. Products with less fat are designated "spreads" rather than margarine = and while a company that doesn't sell in the US would not be bound by those rules, I'm guessing that Remia does, anyway. The density of margarine in the US is 7.9 ounces per cup, which would be a specific gravity of 7.9/8.0 = 0.9875. That means 2250 grams would be 2278 ml, or 9.628 US cups. Margarine is made from hydrogenated oils, which contain trans fats. Trans fats cause cancer and heart disease. You'd be better off with butter, which not only tastes considerably better, but is much healthier for you to consume.
