Getting the Last of the Butter From Tub

Tub of butter upside down in saucepanHave you ever hated trying to get the very last of the margarine or butter out of the tub? I have been doing this for years, but never thought to share it. When I make instant mashed spuds, corn, or anything that I want to enjoy with margarine, I sometimes find the tub is almost done with too little even for a spatula. So, I simply set it upside down on the top of the pan and let it melt. I get the last of it, and it's easier to wash and recycle. Hope this helps!

I also put the mashed potatoes (ext.) right into the container, stir and then use a spatula to get out all. Thanks for the post PBP!
