Tips for Cooking and Baking with Heart-Healthy Spreads
Heart-healthy margarine spreads aren't just for adding a buttery finish to your food; they're also excellent for cooking and baking. Here’s how to make the most of them.
Choosing the Right Spread
To ensure your spread is heart-healthy, look for these features:
- Cholesterol-free
- Made from 50% to 60% vegetable oils
- 2 grams or less of saturated fat per serving
- No trans fats
Tips from Dana Jacobi
Dana Jacobi, author of the "12 Best Foods Cookbook," shares these useful tips:
- Accurate Measuring: Level your cup or spoon when measuring soft tub spreads.
- Sauté Splendour: Use medium heat to retain flavor and prevent burning.
- Baking Precision: Chill the spread in the freezer if creaming with sugar.
- Quick Melting: Tub spreads melt quickly; 3 tablespoons will melt in 15 seconds in the microwave, compared to butter's 30 seconds.
