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.
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.
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 :)
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. 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.
Substitutes for shortening are butter and margarine in sticks. Use the same amount as called for in your recipe. Keep in mind, plain shortening will NOT be as flavorful as butter or margarine. Do not use soft margarine in a tub as it contains too much water.
You can substitute olive oil for margarine by using exactly the same quantity. They are equivalent in any recipe.
Margarine is shortening and can be used in place of butter or other shortenings in baking, though the flavour won't be the same. In many recipes some feel the best results in texture and flavour are obtained by using butter or half-and-half butter and lard.
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.
Answer:At one time it was believed that margarine was healthier than butter, but no more.More information:You would only substitute margarine for butter in any circumstances if you had only margarine and absolutely no way of getting out to buy butter.Margarine won't give the same flavor as butter, whether in sandwiches, in baking, in making sauces; any food you prepare that requires butter shouldn't be made with margarine. You won't get the same results at all.Butter is no worse for you than margarine: they're both fats, and in any case the quantity you eat per serve of anything you cook with butter doesn't add up to a huge amount, unless you overdo the eating.With recipes requiring a large proportion of butter, such as shortbread, the results will be so markedly inferior if you use a butter substitute that you might as well not bother.If you don't have butter, put off making the recipe until you can buy some, if you possibly can.
