When the knife no longer does a good enough job I'll use a long handled spoon or skinny spatula, and I do the same with jam and vegemite, sweet mustard pickles, pretty much anything, so that washing out the empty jars isn't such a chore. Most things will melt off the sides when the jar gets soaked in warm to hot water, but not peanut butter. Which doesn't taste like plastic, just tastes a bit drier, maybe a bit stale, but still peanutty.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-61129845266394967282019-11-03T23:29:08.621-05:002019-11-03T23:29:08.621-05:00I am a scraper with peanut butter when I'm eat...I am a scraper with peanut butter when I'm eating it, which currently I'm not due to its high calories. But I must not be a connoisseur because I couldn't distinguish the taste being different if one scraped to the bottom. Why don't you transition from jar to jar when Mrs. C. is not home? <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-71785482852278959202019-11-03T22:50:22.399-05:002019-11-03T22:50:22.399-05:00We get these large peanut butter jars from Sam'...We get these large peanut butter jars from Sam's Club (no Costco in our area) only it's JIF and yes, crunchy!

I'm not sure I believe the "plastic" taste, though. I'd have gone with the argument that scraping it out gives you carpal tunnel syndrome, and that the scrapings Mrs. C digs out will contaminate a new jar.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-24175532749900943582019-11-03T10:26:30.087-05:002019-11-03T10:26:30.087-05:00I was leaning towards the misses this time but sin...I was leaning towards the misses this time but since she doesn't eat it, I guess it is your call.
