Butter vs Margarine

>>7235209
Prefer butter, obviously, but margarine is OK

butter tastes much better

not sure about whatever health benefits

It doesn't matter in the long run. They are both exactly the same.

Parkaaaaaaaaaaay

>>7235218
You're why some people make fun of this board.

I think margarine tastes better, but I don't use it.

My household uses Promise for toast and cooking, and butter for baking.

butter tastes better and won't give you cancer

>>7235266
no1 answer so far. just imagine slowly cooking red onions, sage and salt for an hour in margarine.

>>7235209
Butter.

Butter.

>>7235209
Butter as an ingredient. Margarine or shortening to grease pans for baking.

>>7235209
I use butter for cooking, I use some sort of olive oil spread for making sammies

main thing is you do not use margarine with any strange type if statins or shit like that in kt unless your doc says so.

>>7235209
Margarine always. Butter tastes like shit.

>>7235209

i prefer 'ter

you should use 'ter as well

>>7235377
Dont use " 'ter "

>>7235384
>Ter it up, little darlin


But seriously, fuck margarine and that I cant believe its not butter crap and just buy and use butter.
Brown it and use sage or basil or any sort of herb you want. The end product of browning margarine is much shittier.

Usually in baking I use margarine, cause I'm kinda broke, but I prefer butter pretty much always. Margarine smells bad.

Olivina margarine. Non-hydrogenated margarine is fine, but don't eat the other crap, it'll kill you.

>>7235209
Butter

I've been tempted to buy a box of those pats of butter so that I can take butter with me when eating at restaurants. It would be difficult to keep it from melting, though.

As it is, I do carry my preferred hot sauce with me into restaurants. Not one has ever complained about it.

>>7235209
Butter

>>7235212
I think they're roughly the same.

I only like pure butter on my english muffins. Margarine makes them taste like shit and it's not even close. Although I have used country crock on plain ramen noodles before and it is better than butter. But for raisin bread, bagels, english muffins, toast, crumpets, pancakes, and whatever else, I prefer real butter.

The trick is to sneakily hide your butter under a layer of margarine in your butter bell, so your vegan gf won't find out.

Butter. Margarine is used to fatten up turkeys.

>>7235209

Margarine is shit and you should never use it, for anything. Butter is a god send however since I moved to America I realized that your butter is really weird and watery, it's miles worse than the stuff they had in Europe.

Margraine is artificially flavored oil. It's non-dairy....

No butter, but non-dairy margarine is acceptable for vegans since it contains no animal products.

YOU CANT SPREAD BUTTER ON COLD BREAD

RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

For flavor and health reasons I use butter. Sure, Margerine is significantly lower in fats. However, they are replaced by hydrogenated oil (a trans fat) that allow it to stay set at room temp. I also find it sketchy this isn't reflected in the Nutrition Facts, but it is in the ingredients. I'm not a health nut; simply what brought me to switch back.

MARGARINE IT IS

>>7235209
>What do you use?
Margarine for cooking, butter (unsalted) for baking

>What SHOULD you use?
A matter of debate.

Margarine is def for poor people but it tastes pretty good spread on a nice whole wheat bread.

>>7235209
Butter is superior to margarine because butter is saturated fat and margarine is the toxic PUFA.

>>7237085
sounds like you live in an area where the food rationing during ww2 has not been ceased.

>>7236095
Cool you have a son, that means you could be a man or a woman.

Margarine for grilled cheese. butter for everything else.

>>7235471
>Non-hydrogenated margarine is fine,

its not "fine", its unknown. they have constructed a fat particle that does not exist in quantity in nature, invited the general public to test its long term side effects and will publish the results in 30 years. Same thing they did with hydrogenation. Enjoy being a guinea pig for CSPI. I'll stick with butter, at least the effects of that are understood. ill throw in a pretty reasonable explanation to help you get started


Interesterified fats are not trans fats. However, they were developed to take the place of trans-fats in commercially produced baked goods and snack foods. Interesterified fats have been chemically or enzymatically altered to improve their texture or nutritional profile. They're produced by combining stearic acid, found in chocolate and considered a relatively safe saturated fat, with vegetable oils containing unsaturated fat.

We really don't know much about these new fats yet, and their short and long term consequence on health have not been well researched. However, a study published in the January 15, 2007, issue of Nutrition Metabolism found that interesterified fats and trans fats had similar, negative effects. Both increased total cholesterol, raised "bad" LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol and lowered "good" HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. Another negative: the interesterified fat also raised fasting blood glucose by almost 20 percent. Because the study was small - only 30 individuals participated - the American Heart Association took the position that the "safety profile of interesterified oils and shortenings isn't as well understood as that of natural fats and oils" and that more research is needed. Since this is an unsettled issue and because there's some reason to believe that these fats may have negative health effects, I would recommend staying away from products containing interesterified fats until we know more.

Butter, and margarine if there's no butter.

The only time you absolutely should use butter is in baking.

this stuff is pretty good for american butter (sold in stores in America I mean, because this one is made in Ireland) and there is another one also that most stores sell that is better than regular store brand or land-o-lakes. I forget the name of it though. But I've seen them both at every grocery store just about

>>7236181

It literally does not matter.
I cannot tell the difference between them.
Margarine is easier to spread without softening, but butter comes in these nice measured out blocks that have a nice aesthetic to them.

Choose whichever fucking one you want.
Anyone who says butter is superior to margarine or vice versa doesn't know shit.
Especially if they say butter cuz half the time its because they assume its some how more "real" than butter, like that means shit.
Margarine is not a diet replacement for butter, nor is it a cheap imitation of butter.
It's another form of what basically amounts to the same fucking shit.

Fair warning for you burgers. If you ever happens to go to a Starbuck (I don't know why but who knows ?) be advised they are now selling the "famous" french cookies "Michel et Augustin". This is a scam. They are ridiculously expensive, even in France so I can't imagine how much they'll cost in a US Starbucks, and they don't taste any better.

Don't buy that crap.

If the recipe says butter then butter it is.

Butter makes me feel full. And, I dunno. I just trust butter. I can make my own butter from scratch. I have no idea how to make margarine.

I always use butter

>solidified plant fats
no

>>7235209
It really depends on what I'm using it for. If I'm baking, butter all day. If it's food where you can TASTE it, butter. On shit like Kraft Dinner Margarine. Depression tier shit gets depression tier shit.

>>7235374
objectively wrong opinion.

>>7237102
there is no debate. Butter is superior in every way, and I don't care how hard times get with money. If the choice is margarine or nothing, I'd rather have nothing.

>>7238508
My brother! I check this board once a month, hoping for something actually cooking related, and am occasionally rewarded. I really love it when they get going about GMO and organic shit, with everyone claiming to be a scientist/PhD, and not one of them knows shit from apple butter about any of it! It is entertaining though.

>>7235209

You should also use lard.

Margarine is processed factory thrash

Butter is natural but full of fatty shit, but body likes natural fatty shit so it's fine

>>7235209
I use margarine because I don't like the taste of butter.

For cooking/baking you use butter.
For flavor, toast, etc you use whatever you want.

>>7241574
Except not. Butter actually doesn't taste good, and it over powers every dish it's in. You probably haven't tried any proper margarine.

My local grocery store carries two brands of butter -- Land O Lakes and the store brand. Land O lakes costs nearly twice the store brand and I can't tell much difference between the two.

>>7243264
Pretty much the same for me. I usually just buy the store brand as well.

Every so often if I'm feeling fancy and want to make something that really focuses on the flavor of the butter I'll buy some Kerrygold but for general purpose cooking I just go with plain old store brand unsalted sticks.

I've heard that some of the European butters actually do have a more enhanced flavor. Some of my neighbors milk their own cows and churn butter the old fashioned way. There is a very noticeable difference between their butter and the store-bought butter.

coconut oil, organic and unrefinedd. dem MCT. dat lack of casein.

I use butter for cooking and margarine on toast.

Is margarine really that bad for you?

>>7244990
do they culture their butter?

Butter is healthier and tastier and more versatile in cooking.

You can buy pure 100% spreadable butter too. Sure, its more expensive than margarine, but how much fucking butter do you put on toast? You can also buy butter spread that's cut with a little bit of olive or canola if you're a cheapfag.
