Oil for Butter: Smart Swaps
❌ Don't
- ✕ Use a 1:1 ratio for butter to oil.
- ✕ Pick strongly flavored oils for delicate dishes.
- ✕ Substitute in recipes needing butter's solid structure (e.g., flaky pie crusts).
- ✕ Ignore the impact on moisture or texture.
✅ Do
- ✓ Use 3/4 cup oil for 1 cup butter.
- ✓ Choose neutral oils (canola, vegetable) for most recipes.
- ✓ Match oil flavor to dish (e.g., olive oil for savory, coconut for some sweets).
- ✓ Add a tablespoon of liquid (milk, water) if batter seems too dry.
- ✓ For structure, use solid coconut oil or shortening.
- ✓ Adjust baking time slightly, as oil can bake faster.
