Soap peeps, I'm used to palm oil in tubs. I ordered from Bramble Berry and surprised it's in a large bag! Any tips on using? I'm thinking I have to heat up the bag in the microwave every time?
 
Another option is to cut off the entire top edge of the bag, including the pour spout. That makes it much simpler to scoop out what you need. To close it, roll down the edge and secure with a strong binder clip or two. The attached pic isn't PO, but gives you the idea.

Do you have any empty tubs from previous orders of palm oil you could transfer the contents of the bag into?
Because the stearic acid in palm is know to settle to the bottom, I use @Ford 's method of melting in hot water in the sink. Mix well. Then pour into re-purposed Glad Food Storage Containers, 20 oz. for future use. Always dig out a portion from bottom to top, or soften in the microwave, to be sure I get the SA that settles. :)
