To use, simply unwrap one stick of the salted light butter. It can be spread directly onto warm bread or pastries. For cooking, it can be melted in a pan to sauté ingredients or incorporated into batters and doughs. The pre-portioned sticks make it easy to add a specific amount to recipes without needing to cut from a larger block. Ensure the butter is at the desired temperature, whether softened for creaming or melted for sauces.
