    I use a table knife or small rubber spatula to get it out, then put it in a small bowl on my food scale, then scrape it out of the bowl.

    I have latte spoons (long handles) which get into the bottom of jars nicely.

    I'd weigh the jar, take out whatever I'm using and then weigh the jar again to see how much I've used.

    I use latte spoons as well. I have been eyeballing it but I know I need to weigh it. I will try the reverse weigh method next time.
    I have to admit I have peanut butter breath right now...

    I get it out of the jar with a butter knife and measure in grams using a food scale. I do not measure peanut butter by volume.

    You should be weighing it instead of measuring anyway. So just put the jar on the scale, zero it out, scoop out what you want using whatever is easiest to get it out with, and weigh the jar again. The negative difference is what you took out (and bonus, it counts what ending up on your hands).

    THIS!! :)

    Is this real life?

    this are real first world problems- stop making fun.

    You're right. I'm going to start a letter writing campaign. Maybe Obama will help.

    once it's down in the jar a ways, I used a rubber spatula, and then I weigh it, since measuring is a fool's game of inaccuracy.

    I weigh it. I put the bread, English muffin, or whatever on the scale and zero it out. Then I put a plop of PB on the item until I get the desired weight on the scale.

    I'm sorry, you're right. I didn't give adequate appreciation to the significant hardship that is getting peanut butter out of a jar. My bad. We should always be serious all the time. Because, really, who wants to live in a world where peanut butter is stuck to the bottom of the jar or, worse, it gets on our hands.

    You should weigh it anyway...

    If I put it on bread, I just tare the plate with the bread, spread the PB, then see how many grams it was. Easy as pie.
    If I'm going to put it in oatmeal, either I tare the jar, or I tare the bowl of oatmeal with the empty spoon on then put the spoon back in with the PB in it.

    I use a rubber spatula. I measure out the whole jar the first day that I get it. Then I do not have to mess with it everytime I want to pack it for lunch.

    Easier to weigh it in a bowl. Less effort. Zero out the bowl and add via knife of spatuala until you come up with the grams you need. I do this with my salads. Make Salad in bowl....zero out scale and then slowly dribble salad dressing on top till I come to the grams I want. So much easier and less messy.

    I don't know if anyone has said this, but I put my "toast" or whatever it is that I am eating my peanut butter on the scale, zero it out, then add peanut butter to it until I have the proper serving size.

    I had a sad peanut butter episode yesterday resulting in PB all over the counter. Apparently some PB needs to be put in the fridge or it's a big sloppy mess (I'm looking at you, Trader Joe). :noway:
