To use, simply tear open the packet and spread the margarine directly onto your food. It softens quickly at room temperature, making it easy to apply. For recipes, you can carefully cut open the packet and scrape out the contents. The small quantity is ideal for when you only need a small amount of fat for flavor or texture in a dish. It can also be melted by placing the unopened packet in warm water for a few moments.
