Abstract: An apparatus is provided for handling the contents of a container for a liquid or semi-liquid, including the residual contents. The subject container is one that has a bottom surface, sidewalls that extend upwardly from the bottom surface and form a bottom corner therewith, and a top opening defined by an inwardly protruding rim. The apparatus includes an elongated handle adapted for stirring the contents of the container and characterized by a lateral width and a longitudinal centerline that extends through the handle as well as the entire length of the apparatus. The apparatus also has a contacting portion interconnected with the handle. The contacting portion includes a generally vertical contact edge for engaging the sidewalls of the container and residual contents thereon, a second generally vertical edge in spaced apart relation with the generally vertical contact edge, and a generally horizontal contact edge for scraping the bottom surface of the container and residual contents thereon.
