About Margarine
Margarine is more shelf-stable than butter at room temperature. For baking that needs butter flavor (croissants, shortbread), butter wins. For everyday cooking, margarine is fine and cheaper.
Storage: Room temperature okay; refrigeration extends life. Wrap tightly to avoid absorbing odors.
Common uses: bread spread, sautéing, baking, buttercream.
Density: 0.95g/ml. Because each ingredient has a different density, volume-to-weight conversion can't use a single generic value for all ingredients.
