    I use a tablespoon, and a small spatula to clear as much out/off of my spoon as possible. When that is done, I insert measuring spoon into my mouth and proceed to make out with it until it's clean enough to wipe on my jeans and put it back in the drawer.


    hahaha....LOVE this!

    Use a digital scale. Having a food scale is absolutely essential to accurate calorie tracking! I love my Ozeri scale, it looks like an iPad.

    When people say a teaspoon in recipes, I've always used 15g as the same as one teaspoon.
    As others have said, place the jar on the scale, turn it on (or tar) to zero the scale, then just spoon out what you need.

    Scale!!!!! I weight everything ... I used to measure 1/4th cup ... i always had too much. Weigh EVERYTHING!!! Food scale is $40 at target.

    Side Note: now i was PB on my banana ... snack time!

    Spray the spoon with cooking spray.
    But how do you weigh the cooking spray?

    Um...put whatever you're going to apply the PB to on the scale, zero it out and then add PB. If you're going to eat it off a spoon, put the spoon on the scale and zero it out...

    I don't see the complication?

    Best way to be exact on PB measurement:

    Ex. JIF is 31g per serving

    Step 1: Open the jar and place it on the scale to weigh
    Step 2: Remove PB and subtract weight from initial weight on Step 1
    Step 3: Once you realize how small the actual amount is, say **** it and just finish the jar! :drinker:

    This is pretty solid advice
