It's used... to stop food sticking to the surface of the pan while it's cooking.
You could use oil, or butter. I would use margarine because butter is full of fat and some brands of butter are unhealthy.
If you are substituting butter for margarine, use exactly the same amount.
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?"

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 is a butter substitute. In baking, I do not substitute margarine unless the receipe calls for it such as "1 cup butter or margarine". There are a lot of older receipes that call for butter, and are just plain tastier with the real stuff.
The butter in buttercreme icing is just used as a flavor additive. I would be careful using margarine that may have a different taste. I would advise using a butter-flavored margarine if you decide to make the substitution.
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.
Yes. Or you can use butter. If you are a margarine family, you can use that too.If you use butter or margarine, remember these already have salt so you can reduce the amount of salt if the recipe calls for it.
