I remember reading somewhere that 'margarine is one molecule short of becoming plastic'. The article states that it does not rot when exposed for a long time too.
You can pick it up from here and do a research on it. Sorry couldn't help with the site address.
A plastic margarine tub is the container that store-bought margarine may come in.
No margarine is not one molocule away from plastic. Margarine is made from animal fats. You would not just be able to add a molocule to margarine and it would turn into plastic. Margarine is NOT made from animal fat, butter is. Margarine is made from vegetable oil, water, and salt with chemicals and preservatives. Whether it is exactly one molecule away from plastic or not doesn't really matter. What matters is that it is hydrogenated and causes heart disease. The story about taking it and placing it in a very warm environment (your garage) and letting it sit for a month or two is a good way to test it. Not only will flies not bother it, it won't spoil! Why would any human want to ingest such a dangerous compound? I only use Promise or Smart Balance as they are formulated differently and are not hydrogenated. But as with all fats, I use them in moderation. I occasionally use organic butter as well.
No. It is made by the hydrogenation of oils or fats.

I have never seen margarine in a tin, it is sold in plastic tubs. These come in various sizes and various brands, in prices generally ranging from about $1 to $4.
Sony makes fitted plastic/vinyl PS3 covers in many different colors.
To convert margarine to butter in a recipe, simply use the same amount of butter as the recipe calls for margarine. Butter has a higher fat content than margarine, so it may result in a slightly different texture or flavor in the final dish.

Yes, it is possible to buy margarine in the UK. It is widely available in supermarkets, grocery stores, and online retailers. Various brands and types of margarine can be found, catering to different dietary preferences and needs.
Yes, butter can generally be substituted for margarine in a recipe, but keep in mind that butter has a higher fat content and different flavor, so the end result may be slightly different.
Butter has nothing to do with margarine. Margarine is based on some sort of oil. Different brands use different types of oil. Hydrogenated oil has water incorporated into it which causes it to get solid.
Yes, you can use margarine in cheesecake instead of butter, but it can affect the texture. Margarine often contains more water than butter, which may cause the digestive biscuit base to become softer. This is likely due to the added emulsifiers and moisture in margarine, which can alter the consistency of the crust. To counteract this, consider using less margarine or adding more biscuits to maintain a firmer base.
