Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere. I searched and couldn't find it.
I'm brewing my first extract brews this weekend and was curious if anyone had any suggestions on how to loosen up this thick malt syrup for easy pouring into my wort.

I've seen videos before where people place a CAN of malt syrup into some hot water to loosen it up before using... but I'm concerned about placing these plastic containers in warm or hot water.
Also, if a lot of the malt extract stays attached to the inside of the plastic bottle when I pour it - how hard should I try to get every little bit out of the bottle? I'm wondering if I should even cut the bottles apart so I can scrape the extract from the sides of the bottles.
Thanks for any advice for this brewing noob!
