Is bertolli butter or margarine?
It is butter and olive oil.
How much oil is equivalent to two sticks butter or margarine?
You can substitute olive oil for margarine by using exactly the same quantity. They are equivalent in any recipe.
Do you need fat to make bread?
butter, margarine, olive oil, any vegetable oil
Which container of margarine would be most heart healthy?
Most margarine contains trans fat, making it very "un"heart healthy. When you go to the grocery store, check the labels and look for something without any hydrogenated oils in the ingredient list and with low saturated fat. That will pretty much get you a heart healthy butter-type spread. I use Smart Balance :)
What can you substitute for butter?
There are a lot of things you can substitute butter with. You can use margarine, apple sauce, and even pumpkin. What I like to do when I'm baking muffins is take my dry ingredients and instead of adding eggs or butter I use a can of pumpkin. It makes the muffins extremely moist and delicious, and a lot healthier.
What should you use to bake a chocolate cake if you do not have vegetable oil or olive oil?
You can use shortening, butter or margarine, or even mayonnaise or lard in some recipes. Actually, many chocolate cake recipes call for mayonnaise instead of oil or butter. Just keep in mind that margarine has a higher water content than butter, so you may want to use all butter or half butter/half margarine if that's the substitution you choose.
Where can fats be found?
Animal fats can be found in butter and margarine. Vegetable fats are usually oils like olive oil. Hope that helps a bit. =)
How many grams of margarine do you use to spread a piece of bread?
None. Margarine is full of chemicals that are really bad for your body. Use real butter, it tastes better and is better for you. And no more than 1 teaspoon of butter per slice of bread, providing you are not using any other condiments, e.g. mustard, Ketchup. If using other condiments only butter one slice and put your condiments on the other.
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.
Can butter made with olive oil replace shortening in baking?
Butter is made from milk. I can not be made from olive oil. Olive oil comes from olives and butter comes from a milk of some short (usually from cow's milk). If you are thinking of the margarine made with olive oil this is likely the spreadable kind that you buy in tub. This is not the same thing either. I think that it is vegetable oils whipped with water and salt and thickeners. Shortening is hydrogenated vegetable oil. You will have more luck substituting butter or lard for your shortening.
Is olive oil an empty calorie?
The answer is no. Olive actually has a slightly higher calorie count per teaspoon than butter. However, olive oil is a much healthier alternative to butter or margarine because it has no cholesterol and is lower in other types of fats that cause heart disease. But if your concern is the fat on your stomach, olive oil is not a better alternative.
Is butter and margarine the same thing?
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.
