No, margarine isn't the same as shortening. Shortening is entirely oil based, whereas margarine contains other ingredients, including water. They should not be substituted for one another, or for butter, in baking, although some substitutions in regular cooking will work.
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.
No, they are different. Butter comes naturally from the butterfat of milk, typically from a cow. Margarine is a manufactured product made form refined vegetable oil and water.
No, not even close. Butter is made from dairy products and margarine is artificial, sometimes listed as an edible oil product.
no
If you are substituting butter for margarine, use exactly the same amount.
It would depend on the type of margarine and what is being boiled. In general, if the margarine contains the same percentage of fat as butter, then yes, it could be used as a substitute for butter.
Often it can be, yes.Additional Information:Do not substitute "light," "lite" or "low fat" margarine for butter in any recipe, because these products contain a lot of water and will not bake in the same way as butter.
Butter vs Margarine. Butter wins all the time. However,if something says to use butter,you can substitute it with margarine. It won't taste exactly the same..it'll only be a little different. So,anytime it says butter you can use either :)
Margarine

The usual substitution is 1 stick of margarine in place of 1 stick of butter, as they have approximately the same volume. By weight, this would normally be 1/4 pound for butter, slightly less for margarine. By volume, a stick is about 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons, or about 118 ml.
Yes, but butter tastes better! -No, really! :) "Please pass the margarine." "Is margarine better for you than butter?" "I prefer the taste of margarine." "Would you like your margarine by the stick or in the tub?"
