Butter lowers heart attack risk as compared to margarine.

Butter and olive oil are versatile kitchen ingredients that turn bland meals into something sumptuous.

However, butter cannot be used to cook everything. In fact, it should be primarily reserved for cooking eggs, caramelizing onions, and finishing proteins or composed dishes.

Consuming butter lowers heart attack risk as compared to margarine. Butter also helps with weight management.

1. Pancakes

Only a pat of butter can make any stack of pancakes shine.

2. Scrambled eggs

Whisking a tablespoon of cold, diced butter into the eggs before cooking is the secret to a soft, creamy omelet or scrambled eggs. Whisk the eggs gently to break up the curds as soon as they form. It makes the eggs less fluffy.

3. Butter cake

Always use cold, not softened butter for pastry.

4. Stir fry vegetables

Cut the butter into tablespoon-size chunks so that it melts quickly before adding your vegetables and meat.

5. Grilled chicken

Grilled meat that is basted in butter. How can you go wrong? Put the meat on the grill and baste with melted butter. After flipping the chicken, baste with butter again.
