Thread: Butter or Margarine?

What do you use most for cooking, butter or margarine?

Please elaborate!

Butter, butter, butter, butter.

Butter. I think it has a better taste and is actually better for you (in moderation) than super processed, made-in-a-laboratory margarine. My husband has been suggesting we start using lard, but I don't think I am ready for that.

I put other cuz I use both for diff things. For actually cooking I think butter but margarine is used often for other things as well. I do think butter is healthier even if more fattening.

Definitely butter! I used to not care, but then my boyfriend all of the sudden one day says "let's start using butter from now on, margarine is basically plastic and that creeps me out" Usually I'm the pita that says eww that's not good for you or green this and green that, blah blah blah.

I bake with butter, sometimes use margarine on toast though. I love to saute with butter and olive oil, and sometimes bacon grease

Butter. Bacon grease. Coconut oil. (Pretty much in that order, depending on heat requirements and taste [bacon] input.)

I exclusively use EVOO, except when baking, then I use butter. Butter is much better in moderation as someone already mentioned. I'm over the margarine thing, but I like those "I can't believe it's not butter" commercials.

I cannot use margarine. Margarine causes severe painful stomach upset.

I use butter, evoo and vegetable oil for frying depending on what I'm making.

Lately I have switched out margarine for whipped butter as far as toast etc and cook with butter or evoo mostly.

I use extra virgin olive oil most of the time. No margarine, it is one molecule from being plastic. The ants won't even eat it.
