Question:

When a recepie calls for margerine, can you use butter instead?


Answers:
Yes, and it always tastes better, too.

It depends. Most of the time (if not nearly all of the time), you can substitute with no problems.

No, that will cause the world to explode, do not do this evil swop.

most of the tyms

Depends on the recipe. A cake or other baking - yes. Remember that butter burns quickly, so common sense as to 'how' you will be substituiting it.

Margarine is nasty. Always use butter. I don't care what anyone says about how fatty butter is; the chemicals in margarine are WAY worse for you.

yes almost 98% of the time acctually you can do it no problem i think margerine is just healthyer and butter tends to give the recipie a thicker richer feel

You should easily be able to replace margarine with butter in any recipes. However not so easy to replace butter with margarine, especially in baking.

I've never had a problem substituting one for the other. You should be fine.

Always use butter. Margarine is only one molecule away from being plastic. Margarine is horrible for you.

Depends on the recipe, But yes you can. It would tell you if you can not substitute, and why at the bottom. As long as the recipe, doesn't say so, then you can sub all you like.

Totally! I usually do because it makes it richer and better tasting. Although you can substitute it, there are some things that will turn out a little different if you do.

Yes you usually can. Just bear in mind that if you are baking and substitute margerine with butter, the baked goods (cookies, muffins, whatever) will dry out faster than if you use margerine.

Yes unless the recipe specifically says (no substitutions).

Absolutely

Usually... some recipes were developed in the 80's when no one used real butter... but usually if a recipe means margarine and margarine alone, it will say "no subs" next to it.

Margarine is full of Carbons that will kill people. Use butter ~ YES it has FAT, but tastes better and your body KNOW's what to do with it.

Of course you can, usually turns out better

t depends. Most of the time (if not nearly all of the time), you can substitute with no problems

Yes. Most people do.
