Typeof Margarine Will Affect Baking Performanc!!
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high fat products such
as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not
give the same results as with a higher
fat product.

Federal standards require products labeled
"marga_-h_e" to contain at least 80% tilt by
weight, ix)\_qilt spreads, on the other hand,
contain less tilt and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old til\'ofite redpes,
rise margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

you must mold the fifil tightly to the

_Muminum fi)il may also be used m catch
a spilloveL To do so, place a small sheet of
fifil on a lower shelf several inches below
the tood.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
