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.

What is 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.

Volume measurements can drift because settling, packing, and texture change the amount of ingredient inside the same spoon or cup. When gram values look surprising, structure is usually the reason rather than an error. Use the same fill method each time and verify by weight.

Chef note:Chef-level consistency starts when one reference cup is matched to a gram baseline.

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.
