Margarine Recipes

Alberto Said:

I am starting a diet and all the recipes and meals ask for margarine with no tras fat or salt....?

We Answered:

I've never seen unsalted margarine. I think your best choice would be to buy an oil mister...you can get one at home stores like Bed, Bath &Beyond. That way, you can fill it with a healthy fat, like olive oil, safflower, or canola. Either that, or buy Pam.

When eating things like a baked potato, try reduced fat sour cream, or salsa. On veggies, it's better not to use anything at all. Eventually, you get used to it.

Dean Said:

Does it matter whether I use margarine instead of butter in cookie recipes?

We Answered:

You can sub. out margarine for butter. I do it often. I recommend using stick margarine as some of the tub margarines have quite a bit of water in them and it can affect how the cookies bake.

You will notice slight differences in the cookies. Butter makes cookies crispier and sometimes spread out more on the tray. The only time I use butter anymore is when I'm baking for competitions or for parties because people rave about them then. (the flavor is richer)

Shannon Said:

do soft margarines have equivalence to stick margarine in baking recipes?

We Answered:

I would just use real butter, if it were up to me.

They don't equal the same amount. If all you have is margarines I'd use the stick.
