How do you feel when the spoon doesn't reach the bottom of the jar?

Question

I'm sure we've all had this problem. Sure you can try to put the jar in a different position but then you just get a thin layer thats hard to scoop up. You end up pushing your fingers into the hole, twisting and turning to try and get the contents on your spoon. It usually takes at least 5 goes before your satified.

So thoughts, how do you feel when it doesn't reach the bottom.

I don't feel... I take the bigger spoon... or move the contents to another container... life is too short to focus on such things... especially when there are plenty of solutions available :D

@purplepoppy Frustrated. It is always nice to 'bottom out", and when I don't feel my "Spoon" hitting the bottom, I feel like I'm not getting the job done! So I opt for just getting 'Jars' that are not so deep that I can't hit the bottom with my spoon. My spoons are only so long?

''we all'' ... yes, when I was a kid.

I later discovered that I can buy my jars ''strategically''.

With my shopping magic applied, there never had been a spoon-length-issue ever since kid-hood because what reached my home was already matching my home's equipment.

How I feel: triumphial :)

Depends what is in the jar.
If it is sticky and cemented to the bottom then it might be necessary to get a longer spoon.
If it is granular and can be rolled about then I'd just tip the jar up.

I've got a better question though: How do you deal with jars that have upper corners that things can get stuck in?

Do not try to reach the bottom of the jar with the spoon. Instead, only try to realize the truth... there is no spoon.

I feel like tilting...

MrOracle · Answer

I have iced tea spoons that solve this problem. And spatulas with even longer handles if the tea spoons aren't enough. No jar will defeat me.

This is why I have long spoons - Specifically to reach the bottom of jars. 22cm or 9 inches long.

We use extra-long spoons. Problem solved.

mstbooblover · Answer

Well, why not taking a longer spoon? Or fix a normal one on a stick? To be honest it happened to me also before I found long desert spoons.
