Are you a can scraper?

When you have to open a can of food, how enthusiastically do you scrape out the can - do you just upend it and use whatever comes out without scraping, or do you stand there scraping until you think you have gotten every possible morsel?

I scrape and look inside to make sure I got all the contents out.

I paid for it and am not about to throw away any of it.

I scrape clear through to the label! Every last bean or kernel of corn.

Same here and if it's a liquid I add a little hot water to slosh around.

Waste not, want not!!!

I try to get as much as I can out of the can. Like another said, I paid for it, I am going to use it all. Especially frustrating is getting all the tomato paste out of those little cans when I am making my sauce or chili.

I cut the lid out on both ends of the tomato paste can and push one end through the can so the top basically scrapes the sides of the can, then I finish up scraping with a spoon or knife.

I've seen tomato paste in squeezable tubes similar to toothpaste tubes.

I will have to try that next time I use it. Thanks.

I'm definitely a scraper.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I scrape to get everything out, not too enthusiastic, but I don't leave anything in there especially when it comes to pricey dog and cat food.

 

[debbie in seattle]

I'm a scraper. If it's a bottle, etc with a screw top lid, I turn it upside down to get every last bit.

 

[AprilT]

Of course, I have to get it all out before I recycle the can.

 

[dearimee]

Depends on my mood. Lackadaisical or perfect. Whichever.

 

[HiDesertHal]

I never scrape a Can...only Jars, like the Skippy Crunchy Peanut Butter Jar I just finished!
