Questions about Vegetable oil-butter spread
Can you use vegetable oil-butter spread instead of butter in baking?
Not reliably: its water and fat proportions can differ from butter, so cakes and biscuits may spread or turn out softer. Use a spread specifically labelled suitable for baking, or choose a recipe written for spreads.
Can you fry with vegetable oil-butter spread?
You can use it for quick cooking over moderate heat, such as softening onions or frying an egg. It can spit as its water evaporates and may brown or burn sooner than a cooking oil, so avoid very high heat.
Is vegetable oil-butter spread good on toast?
Yes. Spread a thin layer on hot toast while it is still warm so it melts evenly; it also works on jacket potatoes and steamed vegetables.
Does vegetable oil-butter spread contain dairy?
It may: a butter blend contains milk, while a vegetable-oil spread may not. Check the ingredients for butter, milk, whey or other milk ingredients, especially if you need to avoid dairy.
How should you store vegetable oil-butter spread?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use a clean knife to avoid crumbs getting into the tub. Let a small amount soften briefly for spreading, then return the tub to the fridge rather than leaving it out.
Can you freeze vegetable oil-butter spread?
Freezing is possible, but thawing can make the spread separate or turn grainy, so it may be less pleasant on bread. If you freeze it, seal it well and thaw it slowly in the fridge; use it for cooking if the texture changes.
How much vegetable oil-butter spread is a typical serving?
A tablespoon is about 14 g. For toast, a thin scrape is often enough; measure a spoonful if you want to keep track of how much you are using.
