Be careful with this ...       12/27/06 09:47 AM Edit Reply Quote jen1013 Reged: 05/06/05 Posts: 1322 Loc: the wabe Nearly all "tub" margarines -- especially when they say "light" -- are not equivalent to the same amount of stick margarine. (The Soy Garden Melissa mentioned is an exception.) Most of the tub margarines are whipped and have a fairly high air content, so 1 T from the tub is maybe half the amount of the stick margarine. This might not matter for some recipes ... but in some recipes you'll have an unpleasant surprise if you don't replace the lost fat with something else. (This is why the Blue Bonnet light stick margarine package explicitly says not to use for baking.) -------------------- jen "It's one of the most serious things that can possibly happen to one in a battle -- to get one's head cut off." -- LC Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
