Can you set fire to Margarine ?

It would melt in to a liquid and douse the flame

in the safety section it says margarine is flammable.

Really I think it depends. Originally the product was produced from oyster, whale and seal fats, and was called Oleomargerine. Now its made in a variety of ways with a variety of mixtures of fats and oils. Different countries have different regulations on what can be legally labeled as margerine, and what needs to be called butter-like spread. But the term pretty much just refers to any butter substitute.

My guess is that margerines with high animal fats (80% +) might burn like a candle as candles used to be made from animal tallow. You may need something to act like a wick.

I would be interested to know the results of any experimentation you do.

I reckon if you could heat it up and then apply a flame it would, cooking oil burns.

I'm trying to think of a tidy way you could test it in the kitchen without burning your fingers or setting fire to the bench top. I reckon it might 'spit' too like when you are cooking something in oil too hot.
