I do pretty much the same. Remove labels, run hot water in kitchen sink, let them sit in there until I need them, pour them in and scrape the sides with my stiring paddle. I have also sterilized a measuring cup and grabbed some hot water from the pot, poured it into the can and swirled to let it melt the rest.

No need to worry about the cup being sanitized... you are fixin' to boil the hell out of it. I may be a little more loosey goosey but I would just dip the can in the pot of hot water, swish and go. Especially after i had rinsed the outside of the can well.
I put the LME into a bucket and run hot tap water [120-125°F] right up to the cap. Leave it sit for 10-15 minutes, and it pours out very easily. I then run a little hot tap water inside the bottle, shake it, and pour the liquid into the wort. Works quite well.
i find that if you empty the containers of the room temperature syrup, you can get the remaining out by adding a cup of hot water, capping and shaking. Repeat as necessary to dissolve the stuff stuck to the sides of the container.
I use a funnel and a 1 cup measuring cup for the NB 1/2 gallon 6 lb jugs. Add a couple of cups of hot wort and rock back and forth. You can shake but it will make foam.
