To use Spartan American Fat Free Singles, simply unwrap a slice and place it directly onto hot food. The residual heat from items like burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, or casseroles will cause the slice to soften and melt. For a smoother sauce, the slices can be gently heated in a saucepan with a small amount of liquid, stirring until fully incorporated. They are also suitable for layering in baked dishes where they will melt and bind ingredients together.
