Butter and Margarine

Butter is an emulsion of of dairy fat, protein, and water. It is used to cook with, as well as a condiment. It adds a rich creamy flavor to foods. When vegetable fats are used instead of milk fats, it makes a product known as margarine. Some margarines are healthier than butter due to the types of fats used in the emulsion.

How many calories in a teaspoon of margarine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Margarine typically has a higher calorie count, but the difference is very minor. Fat is fat, and all fat is about 110 calories per tablespoon. Both butter and margarine are solid fat, but butter is made from milk and typically has a bit of residual milk or water in it, so the calorie count may be slightly lower, but not enough to make much difference in your diet. There are lower fat margarines available that contain fillers to take the place of some of the fat.

Why wont some cream make butter?

Asked by Wiki User

Churning butter Basically you are duplicating the process for making butter yourself. You add energy (work) to the system. This breaks the fat droplet membranes and allows the fat molecules to come together (coalesce). When enough fat comes together, one gets a phase inversion in part of the system, and the fat becomes the continuous phase and the water the discontinuous phase -- and if the fat is a solid fat, one gets a material from milk that we call butter. Butter is over 80% fat with water and solubles making up the rest of the system. The remaining material is then buttermilk. http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2006-03/1143829481.Ch.r.html If you whip cream too long, it does not gradually become butter: it happens quite suddenly.

A solar oven is made up of aluminum panels and won't catch on fire itself. However, it is possible for the food being cooked within the solar oven to catch on fire much like a magnifying glass focusing light from the sun can catch a leaf on fire.

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.
