what do you use?
what SHOULD you use?
Butter
each has its own purpose. also salted/unsalted butters should be included.
Margarine is fucking nasty
So is butter healthy or unhealthy right now?
I can't keep track of this shit
I have yet to meet a single person who even uses margarine
>>7620981
>implying margarine is fucking nasty
>>7620975
There is literally no reason to use unsalted butter
The salt is barely enough to taste and has no impact on recipes, but does allow the butter to last longer, especially for people who leave it out of the fridge.
>>7620989
>barely enough to taste
Are you perhaps a smoker? The difference in taste between the two is massive.
>>7620972
Is this even a question? The only dumbasses that use margarine are amerifats
>>7620985
It's better than vegetable/corn/soy/canola/sunflower seed oil, but still, if it isn't organic it won't be that healthy.
>>7620999
>If it isn't meme it won't be healthy
I mean I appreciate the trips and the sentiment but
I'm not convinced by your reasoning
>>7621008
See, if it's made from your average shit-fed hormone filled cow, it won't have as much nutrients as a grass-fed cow, the butter of the later will have omega-3, less saturated fat and supposedly tastes better.
>>7621021
Sure, and boars taste better than pigs right?
>>7621021
I live in the UK, all the cows are grass fed.
>>7620972
Beef dripping
does margarine really have anything going for it besides pretending to be healthier at times? I'd go to shortening first
>>7620989
the difference is so big what the fuck man
>>7621033
Not really. People in poverty typically buy it because it's cheap and they can't tell the difference. I think people think it's healthy under the guise that it's "NOT" butter.
We call butter margarine
t. Eastern European
>>7621021
>hormone filled cow,
I have a simple solution to that: I don't live in a third world shithole that allows dairy cows to be pumped full of hormones.
margarine is way cheaper. i use it all the time unless im trying to bake something, and even then ill use margarine if i can.
>>7620972
There is no reason to eat margarine ever. Margarine is like 100% transfats. Animal fats are good for your brain. If you are vegetarian then eat coconut oil, to me it tastes a lot like butter anyway.
>>7620989
There is a big difference. I always use unsalted that way if it needs salt I can add how ever much I want.
>>7621033
In places where it's hot margarine won't melt. I seen it used in all the countries south of the border.
I almost never use margarine but have tried it out in some baking recipes with good success.

Margarine is VERY bad for your health.
Butter is the lesser evil.
>>7621345
All solid and semi-solid fats are bad for your health.
>>7620989
fuck off literally poster. there obviously is a reason for it
LITERALLY litterally litterally LIITTTERALLY
GUYS LITTERALLY THERE IS LITERALLY LITERALLY
LIITTTEERRALLLLYYY
>>7621357
>>reason for it
That'd be for baking. The amount of salt in some baked dishes is critical, therefore the salt is left out of the butter allowing the cook to know exactly how much needs to be added.
For other cooking purposes the salt content doesn't matter much.
>>7621327
>cis
>trans
hehehehhehe
Idk I eat butter on its own and as a spread because I'm European so I don't get how it would be substituted with something like margarine.
>>7620972
Margarine us literally horrible for you. Stick with butter its healthy and delishous
>>7620987
That wasn't implied. It was explicitly stated.
I was always told for unsalted butter the dairy has to use their best cream.
the salted butter would hide the actual flavor of the cream enough to get by.
and yes baking with unsalted means you have greater control over the amount of salt
>>7620989
literally confirmed for autistic
>>7621442
>butter
>healthy
pick 1 fat ass.
>>7621449
that would make sense like how flavored vodka isn't the best stock
>>7620989
how do you not taste the difference? It's a huge difference. Like big time
>>7620972
>what do you use?
Butter
>what SHOULD you use?
Butter
>>7620985
It's unhealthy, because it's pretty much pure fat, but it's no more unhealthy than margarine is.
>>7620985
The way they stabilize margarine is by partially hydrogenated the oils, which is code word for trans fats. Trans fats are the only fats with solid data behind it linking to cardiovascular disease
Saturated fat is no worse for you than cis unsaturated fats health wise, although certain long chain omega 3 fatty acids are probably the best fats for you to eat. In fact it is postulated that dolphins are so smart because of their diet rich in omega 3s, but that could easily be bullshit
I know it is a meme but it really shouldn't come to a surprise to people that a processed product made in a lab would be worse for you than something more natural. Butter is the way to go
>>7621054
Fucking barbarians.
>>7620972
Buttah.
Muh Trans fat free.
Muh flavah.
>>7620989
the difference is as gaping as your mothers vagina when i'm done dilating her with a speculum and checking carefully for signs of cervical cancer. the good news is she doesn't have cervical cancer. the bad news is i'm not a doctor and also i fucked your mom.
>>7621793
> implying that fat is unhealthy
>>7621024
lol, keep telling yourself that
I always thought margarine WAS butter...
>>7620972
Why would anyone buy margsrine ever? The only use for it is to spread it on bread but it tastes like vomit. Butter has a shit ton of uses and it tastes great.
Only use I ever have for margarine is for backing vegan crap
Why is there so much hate for margarine? I use butter for cooking/recipesand margarine for makin' sandwhiches.
It's an easy way to shave off some calories for a minimal taste difference.
In baking you need butter though, there's a massive chemical difference between the 2. The second it's going to see heat, use butter as an easy rule of thumb.
>>7624243
>regularly bakes pastries and inhales them like a goddamm ham planet
>uses margarine to save the amount of calories you burn taking a shit
Reconsider your priorities, bertha
>>7624243
trans fat is a demonstrated harm. margarine is for poors and scrooges.
Rumour has it magarine is made out of pig fat and causes cancer, true or false?
>>7620972
I use butter ding dong
>>7621357
If we're going to fight them we need to tell them why they're retards for constantly using a word for no fucking reason other than their favourite youtuber says it all the time.
Spazzy shitposting is making it worse.
On topic: when it comes to eating it straight, salted butter is where its at if you're in the kind of mindset where you'd allow yourself to do that.
Salted Butter master race. Stay mad, unsalted fags.
Seriously, though, it just tastes nicer. Sandwiches, crackers, etc.
margarine chemical compound is closely related to plastic
>>7620989
People who use salted butter for cooking dont know how to cook
>>7620972
I dated this hypersmart food fanatic. I thought I was a genius getting 100s on almost every exam. She sometimes scored better. So I paid attention to her and she brought me into this wild world of alternative foods. What a disappointment,
I like eating meat and I like eating at questionable dive bars. So be it. That's my life. It doesn't have to be scientifically controlled.
>>7624833
Salted butter is best when used as a condiment, but unsalted is necessary when baking and sometimes cooking.
>>7624888
To be honest I haven't baked in years, I've been living in shared flats which have had tiny kitchens and tiny single-shelf electric ovens. So I pretty much only use butter as a condiment in the first place.

>No such thing as a solely grass-fed cow. They have to feed them silage in winter.
Yes, there are.
I don't know the science behind it, but you can't make (original) swiss cheese out of silage fed cows' milk.
>>7624888
How is unsalty necessary for baking?
>>7620975
The only purpose of margarine is to be thrown in the goddamn trash where it belongs.
>>7624922
The idea is that some recipes call for specific amounts of salt, and with salted butter you have no control over the amount.
>>7621027
This guy knows
>>7624927
Can't you just eyeball it and add less salt? It's not like baking is brain surgery
tranny fats
>>7625005
Healthy at every size.
I use a plant margarine spread that i think is marketed towards women on sandwiches but always butter in cooking.
>>7624962
Baking is one of the sides of cooking that demands precision in measurements. Reason why many baking recipes use weight as opposed to volume.
I usually use this instead of butter. Sometimes I use butter, but I find it so rich.
as a lube or for eating?
>>7624927
>tfw people use table salt when measuring out the salt for a recipe
Use kosher salt people, unless you want to ruin your dish.
>>7620972
Butter for cooking/baking, margarine strictly as a bread spread.
>>7625591
>>7621327
mar-girn
It's mar-ger-reen you twinks
Butter for everyday uses.
Margarine only has use in baking, but you can replace it with lard for same texture and better flavor.
>>7620972
I use margarine for a couple baking recipes just because that's how they were taught to me by my mom/grandma, and I haven't bothered to experiment to figure out the right substitution with butter.
>>7621793
Fat isn't inherently unhealthy you dumb fuck
>>7625607
>not mar-jar-inn
Get with the enunciations bro
>>7620989
Fucking americans. Why the fuck do you put salt on EVERYTHING? It. Doesn't. Taste. Good. I swear every fucking time I get a steak it's salted to shit. Want some vegetables? Oh boy, you better pucker your asshole, because those puppies are saltier than the dead sea. Salt has no place in food.
>>7625967
shhhhhhh no bait.... only dreams......
>>7620989
There is no reason to use salted butter. Just get regular butter. If you need salt, open up the ol' salt shaker
>>7620972
Well margarine of course, but I do use butter too when I bake.
>>7620999
what do you mean by organic? i've literally never seen butter that isnt just churned milk.
>>7626993
Usually means free of chemicals and drugs, like antibiotics and hormones and all that hippie shit.
Then you've got the even fancier "grass fed" butter which supposedly tastes even better.
>>7621213
>Margarine is like 100% transfats.
This is untrue.
>>7626427
Regular butter is salted. Completely unsalted butter has a very short shelf life and is mostly used for baking.
>not using margarin with salty butter flavor
