Advantages: creamy easy to mix
Disadvantages: none
Years ago when people did more home cooking nearly every household had a tub of Stork in the larder for all kinds of home cooking.
I can remember both my Mum and my Grandmother using it.
The pack has changed slightly mainly because we have gone over to metric!
Stork is similar to butter and when making cakes instead of using half butter and half lard you can make it using Stork.

Stork is used for many types of cooking, especially if pastry is involved but mostly it is just perfect for cake making.
I dont know why but cakes made with stork look better, taste nicer. They are lighter and fluffier.
It is easier to cream in with sugar.
What I like especially is the tub it comes in.
It is an easy measure pack.
When you take off the lid of an unopened Stork tube you will see the margarine all smooth. At the side of the tube you will see different measures showing 250g one side and 8 and three quarter oz marked on the other.
What you do is put your knife where the mark is and scoop out that amount which saves you having to use scales.
You can also freeze stork which is good.
I would definately recommend you use this in your cooking.
Thank you for reading. x
Summary: makes everything you make nicer

- 24/03/09 I never realised you could freeze Stork. Although we get through it quickly it'd never be in the freezer long enough to make it worth freezing. |

- 24/03/09 I used to use Stork all the time but suddenly started having an allergic reaction to it, I use Flora now which these days is almost as expensive as proper butter! |
