Margarine (Stick, 80% Fat)

Stick margarine is formulated to mimic butter's consistency for baking. Unlike tub margarine (which has more water/air), stick margarine is stable. However, measuring it by volume relies on the wrapper markings which can be misaligned. Weight allows you to use exactly what the recipe needs, ensuring structure.

Storage & tools

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

FAQ

Can I use tub margarine instead of stick?

Not recommended for baking. Tub margarines contain more water and air to be spreadable; this will make cookies spread too much and cakes soggy.
