Margarine and butter is different....since a lot of butter are labeled like Fresh, non fat, unsalted, low cholesterol and others....but with margarine it is too salty and so greasy...butter is the best....but with ordinary cooking or baking we can use margarine as substitute to ordinary recipe .its like fresh milk or filled milk ordinary milk and buttermilk...if you know how to taste test...then you will know the diff.

Do you use clarified butter with Hollandaise or is melted okay? Personally, I just melt it, but does it really make a significant difference?

[tonioyantao]

no i dont clarify butter when making hollandaise. in my opinion you don't have to. some purists in the culinary world still do. but i see no merit in doing so.

the only time i clarify butter is when i use it for cooking especially when cooking at a bit higher temperature.ie searing. frying.

[faithfulnina]

D'accord. Hollandaise is so much better with whole butter in it. I normally don't veer away from classic recipes, except for this particular one.

i like clarified butter when doing a hollandaise... its just too heavy for me if whole butter is used.. = ) though i add a little bit of the milk fat/solid back.. just a little bit..

tell me, how often do you subsitute or change ingredients in recipes? and what sorts? for example, instead of butter, you put on margarine.

LOL, this thread is 7 years old but anyway, I ran out of sesame oil so I had this bright idea to use peanut butter. It works! =)

Chefs, what's a good nappe for beef carpaccio? I'm planning on making an amuse bouche out of baked spinach and mozzarella balls then wrap each one with the carpaccio. Problem is, I have the faintest idea of what I'm gonna nappe it with. Pesto? Hollandaise with a little wasabe? HELP!
