Love the pre-measured butter!

I received Becel's Unsalted butter for free from the Family Rated review club for testing purposes. I am someone who loves to bake and the pre-measured butter sticks are perfect! I made banana bread and used 2 sticks. I love that the ingredients are made from plant-based oils and contain less saturated fat compared to regular butter. It is always comforting to know that I am using healthy ingredients to cook and bake for my family. In result, it was easy to use the butter (creamy and soft) for baking and it made the banana bread really moist! I have not try to cook with the butter yet but I am sure that the outcome would be positive! #free

Sale ou non on ne voit pas la différence !

Vraiment sachant que le beurre n'est pas la meilleure chose pour la santé on limite quand même nos quantité dans la vie de tout les jours! Donc les formats bâtonnet je trouve ça génial une belle idée ! Et le beurre non salé sérieusement je n'ai même pas vu la différence et ma famille non plus ! C'est vraiment bien de pouvoir consommer du beurre avec un peu moins de culpabilite !

Très contente d'avoir pu essayer le produit gratuitement merci !

Planted Based!

I am happy to have a plant based and healthy substitute for my baking needs. Many of my friends and family cannot have dairy or animal based products, so these work out great for my baking needs when I'll be sharing my baked goods with them. They work great in my blondies and other treats. The uses are endless and you wouldn't know the difference as there is no obvious taste of flavour. I love how healthy it is too! I received this sample free for testing purposes.

Ca ressemble a du beurre ...

Ca ressemble a du beurre mais c'est pas du beurre! Bon pour la cuisson, les patisseries, mais je prefere le gout de Becel Or. C'est une margarine! Ni extraordinaire ni mauvaise.

GMO canola oil-based - not for me

I received this product for free to test from the FamilyRated Club.

I loved the way these Becel sticks were so creamy and didn't require softening before use. This product created an incredible cake, and an incredibly smooth frosting!!! However, I am sad to say that I won't be purchasing this after seeing that it contains GMOs from the canola oil. This is just a personal preference, but anyone who doesn't care about this will be ecstatic about the results you will get from using this product in your backed goods.

No Softening Needed!

I received this product free to test from the FamilyRated Club. I love the fact that no softening is required, making this product perfect for baking. Although it doesn't exactly taste like butter, it is much more affordable. I'm a huge fan! It's also amazing that this product comes in two versions - salted and unsalted, just like butter!

Love it

I got these butter with salt sticks from becel from family rated for free. I like that they are lightly salted and individually packed. It is easier to keep fresh and not so messy compared to having a big block of butter at Room temperature

Une nouveauté qui mérite d'être essayée!

Ces nouveaux bâtonnets de Becel sont idéaux pour moi. Nul besoin de les laisser tempérer avant de les utiliser dans nos recettes de desserts, non mais le rêve! Combien de fois il m'a fallu remettre à plus tard une recette de pâtisserie parce que j'avais oublié de sortie ma livre de beurre du frigo...
Avec cette nouveauté, le tour est joué.
J'ai essayé les bâtonnets non-salés et toute la famille a apprécié.
Merci Family Rated pour ce banc d'essai!

Great For Everyday

I decided to get the unsalted variety because I have been watching my sodium intake lately. I must say that I loved the packaging of this product! The overall ease of using this is pure genius , to say the least.

Price of product is a little more than what I'd pay, but it is to be expected for something like this.

I found that this stuff really does spread easier than most other butters, etc., so that is something I do look for when buying products like this.

My opinion of this product overall is quite positive!

Baking with it makes baking that much easier too.

Do I recommend this?
Yes.

Great Margarine, Not for Baking!

I was selected to try the BECEL STICKS UNSALTED from ChickAdvisor for free in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions and I was pretty excited as I LOVE to cook and bake! Margarine is a staple in our household and I use it in most of my cooking instead of butter because butter is very expensive, especially in a small northern town. When it comes to baking, however, butter is a must! My cookies are always made with real unsalted butter and I have my family favourite recipes perfected and mastered to a T! I was super excited that these reasonably priced margarine sticks state on their label that they are great for baking, cooking and spreading. But better yet? They claim to replace butter 1:1 - I had to test this out! With 50% less saturated fat than butter, I knew this had to be too good to be true... it was.

I got out my recipe for my 'super soft and chewy soft baked chocolate chunk cookies' and as usual I followed the directions with the ONLY change being the addition of 3/4 cup of the Becel Unsalted Margarine Sticks instead of 3/4 cup of butter. I popped them in the oven, and my family and I waited the 13 minutes in anticipation of eating our favourite cookies! Long story short... it was a disaster. The cookies usually bake up thick and are non-greasy. The substitution of margarine made them the exact opposite. They were thin and had spread immensely and were SO greasy. Even after they had completely cooled on a wire cookie rack, they were a greasy mess. The next day after transferring them to an air tight container... still a greasy mess. The taste wasn't compromised too much, but the texture and consistency was not the same and I actually ended up just tossing them away.

Since my cookie nightmare I have used the margarine for sauteing mushrooms and peppers, on steak and as a spread for garlic bread and it worked awesome for all of those things! The taste was not compromised and the texture was soft and creamy. The package comes with four 1/2 cup sticks which is super convenient and easy to cut. There is no need to soften the margarine so it can cut down a little bit of time in the kitchen with meal prep. The only other con of the product is the fat content. Many margarine on the market contain between 1 and 1.5 g of saturated fats while this product has 2 grams. Many other margarine also contain 0 Trans fats while this contains 0.1g. I know that number is small, but I am sure you all know the dangers of trans fats and with 2 tsp of the Becel sticks containing 11% of your daily fat intake, is this really worth it?

Overall you can find these in the grocery store for a great price. They were on sale when I picked them up for $2.99 which is very reasonable. They do not substitute for baking like they claim but they do fare well in the cooking and spreading department. However, I would not choose this product over other margarine alternatives even at a better price, due to the saturated and trans fat percentages. Unfortunately I would not recommend this product to friends and family.
