So they can sell it; people like butter.
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?"
I like them with both but I would have to say margarine because that is less expensive and out of the two I like them with margarine better.
You can substitute margarine for butter in all types of baking.
I can't believe its not butter
Because margarine, like butter has a burn/smoke point. Shortening will not burn/smoke like margarine when the heat hits it.
Margarine, like butter, is a shortening agent; applesauce won't replace margarine in recipes calling for shortening.
Yes. You can also use olive oil, margarine, or veggie oil. I actually prefer using butter when baking bread because it makes the bread taste like its already "buttered".
because it has penuts
A vegetable spread contains a higher water content, thus making it softer when at cooler temperatures. Margarine contains less water and is a better purchase, unless you like "watered down" margarine. Also when the spread type varieties melts, a good portion of that water will separate out. That's why when you put it back in the fridge you find water in with your margarine. Margarine will not separate lie that, at least not as much or as easily.
It is soft at room temp, which makes it easy when the recipe tells you to cream the butter and sugar together. However apart from that margarine makes fairly bad cakes; no real taste, poor keeping quality etc... If you want to make cakes with less saturated fat in than butter-based cakes, look for recipes that use oil instead of butter. But using margarine instead of butter is not a good alternative - the make up of margarine is very different to butter which affects recipes a lot.
