Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Garden Room Bistro' in Harrogate needed to replace their collection of brittle, cracked plastic jugs that were causing spills during their hectic lunch service. They wanted something far more durable and professional for their kitchen and service staff.
"We were constantly dealing with spills and broken jugs. These Araven ones are in a different league. They're tough, the lids actually fit properly, and they can be stacked away neatly. It's a small change that has made our prep area much tidier and safer."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a more organised fridge and a significant reduction in liquid wastage, saving valuable staff time on clean-ups.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, give the jug and lid a good wash in warm, soapy water.
- Familiarise yourself with the two lid positions – one for pouring, one for closing.
- If using for allergens, consider a colour-coded marker or label for safety.
- Check that it stacks securely with other jugs to ensure stable storage.
Keeping It Going
- For best results and to prevent staining, rinse the jug immediately after use.
- Place it on the top rack of your commercial dishwasher for a thorough clean.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive pads or steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
- Store in a dry area, stacked neatly to maximise your kitchen space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Araven 1.8L measuring jug suitable for hot liquids like soup or gravy?
A: It's designed for cold and warm liquids. While durable, it's not recommended for boiling liquids straight from the stove or kettle. Allow them to cool slightly first.
Q: Is the jug completely shatterproof?
A: It's made from highly durable polypropylene, which is extremely resistant to cracking and breaking from drops, making it a much safer alternative to glass.
Q: Does the lid create a fully leak-proof seal for transport?
A: The lid provides a secure closure for storage to prevent spills and contamination in the fridge. However, it's not designed to be a 100% leak-proof, airtight seal if tipped over during transport.
Q: Are there any measurement markings on the side of this poly measuring jug for kitchen use?
A: No, this specific model is a translucent pouring and storage jug and does not have graduated volume markings on the side.
Q: Will the plastic stain if I use it for tomato juice or curry sauces?
A: Polypropylene has good resistance to staining. For best results and to maintain its clarity, we recommend rinsing the jug immediately after use with strongly coloured or acidic foods.
Q: How much does the jug weigh when it's empty?
A: It's extremely lightweight at just 0.22kg, making it very easy to handle even before it's filled.
Q: Can I buy spare lids if one gets lost?
A: Yes, this jug is compatible with Araven lids CH926 and CH927, which are available to order separately from EasyEquipment.com.
Q: Is the material BPA-free?
A: Yes, Araven polypropylene products intended for food contact are manufactured to be BPA-free, complying with food safety regulations.
The Araven Advantage: Built for the Realities of a Professional Kitchen
In a commercial kitchen, it's the small, consistent efficiencies that make the biggest impact. That's the philosophy behind Araven's design. This jug isn't just a container; it's a tool engineered to reduce the minor frustrations that slow a team down. Think of the time saved by not having to search for cling film, the money saved by preventing spills, and the space saved by smart, stackable storage. Araven is trusted by professionals because they focus on the practical realities of food preparation and service. Their products are built to endure repeated cycles through the dishwasher, withstand the cold of a commercial freezer, and survive the inevitable bumps and drops of a busy environment. Investing in a piece of Araven kit like this restaurant measuring jug is an investment in a smoother, safer, and more organised workflow, reducing replacement costs and allowing your team to focus on what they do best.

Ever tried to pour from a jug only to have the lid fall off, or tried to store something in the fridge and ended up reaching for cling film? Araven's dual-function lid is designed to solve exactly that. It's not just a simple cover; it's an integrated part of the tool. In one position, it creates a wide, controlled channel for pouring, guiding liquid cleanly without glugging or splashing. With a simple twist, it clicks into a closed position, sealing the jug securely enough to prevent dust, debris, and fridge odours from getting in. Think of it as having a built-in funnel and a storage cap in one. It’s a small piece of clever engineering that saves time and stops those little, everyday kitchen annoyances.
