The Simple Way To Get The Last Bit Of Peanut Butter Out Of The Jar - Tasting Table

"If you've ever gotten to the end of a peanut butter jar, only to find yourself fighting to scoop out the last bits to make spicy peanut sauce, then you know the remnants notoriously stick to all the nooks and crannies of the container's interior. However, there's a better way than scraping the sides with a knife or spoon. To easily get every last bit of peanut butter out of the jar, you can use another kind of handy kitchen utensil: a silicone spatula."

"Silicone spatulas are designed to be flexible for exactly these kinds of jobs in cooking and baking. Think: scraping the sides of a bowl to transfer cake batter to a pan. When used to remove the final amounts of peanut butter from a jar, a spatula takes on a genius use that will have you wondering how you didn't think of it before."

A flexible silicone spatula can remove the final sticky remnants of peanut butter from jars by reaching nooks and crevices that knives or spoons often miss. Capturing every bit enables use in sauces, cookies, toast toppings, or as a rich ice cream garnish and reduces food waste. Thorough scraping also assists recycling because plastic and glass containers must be completely clean and dry before recycling. Natural oils in peanut butter and the spatula's flexibility usually suffice to lift residues. For stubborn particles, applying a light coating of oil to the spatula helps release stuck-on peanut butter before washing.
