Single-conversion pages for margarine
Working with margarine
Margarine sits in the fats & oils group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Stick margarine matches butter by volume, but tub spreads contain more water and behave differently in baking.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
