WFMW- Measuring Peanut Butter {sticky stuff}

works for me wednesday at we are that family

Don't you just hate when you have a recipe that calls for measuring something sticky like peanut butter, honey or shortening? It's not really the measuring, but the clean up that's the issue!

I'm not lucky like Bridget, I don't have one of these handy gadget thingies! {but I plan to get one!}

So what do I do when all I have it a liquid glass measuring cup?

Spray the measuring cup with no stick spray before you measure your sticky ingredient!- remove with rubber spatula, and clean up will be a breeze!!

Have fun reading all the other tips over at We Are THAT Family and Works for Me Wednesday.

great, great tip! My least favorite thing to measure ever is honey. I'm definitely going to try it with honey now.

I know that trick, and yet I never do it. Why? Because I like to have a reason to lick the leftover peanut butter out of the measuring cup! :-) - www.delightfulcountrycookin.com

I've heard coating glass measuring cup with hot water first also helps

I use this method for corn syrup, honey or molasses and it works great!

...but for peanut butter or shortening..I use very cold water. If you need 1 cup peanut butter, use a 2 cup liquid measuring cup add 1 cup of very cold water...put in PB or shortening until the water shows 2 cups, holding the BP or shortening under the water..pour the water out and you have 1 cup of BP or shortening..hardly any clean-up!

I use it for honey and it makes cleaning a dream. IT is a really good tip for those of us who want to minimize clean-up.

Anonymous - I've used that method too! works great, but some recipes you have to be careful with the water getting in the recipe......but you're right - that's another GREAT way to measure those things!!
