The bread machine recommends butter or magarine. Has anyone used vegetable oil and would the measurements be the same?

Oil is a liquid, Butter & Margarine are solids. Are they the same equivalent, NO they are not. I've used Butter Crisco with very good results instead of butter. However, Butter is healthier than margarine and Crisco. I bake daily, I love using this machine but I eat low fat. I would never use vegetable oil in place of a solid, even when the recipe say's soft butter or margarine. Vegetable oil is extremely high if fat content.

Yes to both questions. I have used olive oil and cocoanut oil, with good results

In many breads that I do use fats I use any combination of oil and butter all the way up to 1 Tablespoon per cup of flour. So absolutely feel free to use oil with or instead of butter.

I am ready to buy this machine, but I would appreciate someone's review on extracting cream, butter, and oil from coconut with this machine. Thanks!

I use butter or olive oil regularly and it works fine Dishwasher cleans it up. Do not overcook with high heat - that makes it harder to clean up

I've used Orville Redenbacher's butter flavoured oil, and some shake-on stuff that I bought at WalMart, and it's fine. I haven't experimented much as I prefer just to pop the corn and add butter and salt after it's popped.

Directions indicate EMPTY and, as was stated earlier, it is to burn off excess machine oil they use. The smell of it would infuse itself into the bread. It won't harm the machine. Then use it for making the real thing next time.

I believe the instructions mention making butters with it but I've never tried. I imagine you could but wouldn't get it smooth like the commercial stuff. A VitaMix or food processor would work better. Hope this helps. By the way, it's GREAT for wheatgrass/greens.

I use light vegetable oil. works perfect. I have not had it leak out sitting, but I have only owned it for about 6 months.

Make sure you put the ingredients in the bread pan in the order they are listed in the recipe. This allows for the best mixing of the dough. When you plug in and turn on the bread machine it is set for a loaf of basic white bread. I use this setting for most of the bread I make. While on this setting you can set for the size of loaf (I find a one-and-a-half pound loaf is best) and for the thickness of the crust. Then start the cycle. A couple of tips. If the recipe calls for two different flours...I like to mix them together before I put them in the machine. Some recipes call for an egg. I mix the egg with the other liquid (milk or water) before adding to the pan.

I use a small amount of butter. Small amount of oil works well. Dry not so much.

Use an oil made for machine or ball bearing movement like 3-in-1 oil (comes in small container). Olive oil is not good for this purpose, as it will break down over time.

I haven't used paper in using mine and have made both bread and non bread type of foods in them. I spray a little vegetable oil in the wells and so far every things comes out intact.

I use coconut oil in most of my cooking - sauteing, frying, and baking - for the huge improvement in flavor and the health benefits. There are a couple cookie recipes where I have found that I prefer the taste of butter, and one quick bread in which I use a cheaper vegetable oil. But otherwise I have switched almost completely to coconut oil. For baking I particularly like it in my biscuits and white yeast breads.

I have not oiled mine yet but I'd probably go with what I use to oil my grain mill, olive oil.

Butter contains 16-17% water. Oils do not. Try decreasing the oil and adding extra liquid. Until you figure out the right proportions, open the cover after the initial mix and check the dough. If you have experience making bread by hand, you'll know if it's right.

I use bread machine yeast. It comes in a small jar and I use about a teaspoon more than the recipes call for.

I actually just bought the machine and sent it to family in El Salvador. My cousins who use it use any kind of whole kernels with vegetable oil.

The oil we used is grape seed oil and it is so much better that veg.oil and we use sea salt instead of table salt. Sooo Good!!Hope this helps!
