- Practical Design: The hot foil markings don't fade after countless washes.
- Limited Palette: Only available in blue, which restricts wider colour-coding plans.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Daily Knead Bakery in Bristol was struggling with consistency in their artisan loaves. Their old measuring jugs had faded markings, causing frustrating variations in dough hydration from one batch to the next.
"We were getting such inconsistent results with our doughs. Switching to these Pro-Measures jugs was a simple fix, but the difference is huge. The markings are impossible to misread, and they've survived everything we've thrown at them. Our bread is simply better for it."
Mark Thompson – Head Baker
The bakery has since reported a near-total elimination of bad batches, reducing ingredient wastage by around 15% and ensuring perfect product consistency.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- If using a colour-coded system, clearly designate its purpose (e.g., dairy only).
- Store it upright on a level shelf to prevent warping over time.
Keeping It in Top Shape
- It's dishwasher safe, but placing it on the top rack is best to prolong its life.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or steel wool, especially on the markings.
- Rinse immediately after using with strongly coloured or sticky ingredients to prevent staining.
- Regularly check for any deep scratches or cracks, particularly in a high-turnover kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes, it's made from food-grade polypropylene, so it's perfectly safe for all ingredients and won't impart any taste or odour.

A: Yes, the jug has clear, raised markings for both litres (L) and millilitres (ml) for precise measuring.
Q: Can this jug be used in a microwave?
A: It is not recommended for microwave use. This poly measuring jug for catering is designed for cold or warm liquid prep.

The Pro-Measures Promise: Consistency in Every Pour
Beyond its simple function, the Pro-Measures HP867 embodies the principle of dependable consistency, which is the bedrock of any successful kitchen. It’s not just a plastic jug; it’s a tool engineered for the relentless pace of commercial food production. The investment here isn't in the plastic itself, but in eliminating the costly errors that come from faded, unreadable measurements. Think of the ingredient waste from an inaccurate batch of soup, or the customer complaint from an inconsistent sauce recipe. Pro-Measures focuses on getting these fundamental details right, providing a low-cost, high-impact tool that prevents these problems before they start. This focus on durability and accuracy means less time second-guessing and more time creating, ensuring every recipe is the same today as it will be next year.
Explore more from Pro-MeasuresWhy Hot Foil Markings Make a Real Difference
Ever had a measuring jug where the lines fade away after a few months in the dishwasher? That's usually because they're just printed on top. This Pro-Measures measuring jug blue uses 'hot foil stamping', which is a far superior method. Think of it like a permanent brand on the plastic; the measurement lines and numbers are physically bonded into the jug's surface using heat and pressure. This means they won't scratch off, fade with cleaning chemicals, or disappear in hot water, giving you pin-point accuracy for the entire life of the jug. It’s a small detail that ensures long-term reliability.

- School & Care Home Kitchens: The durable build and clear markings make it perfect for high-volume, cost-controlled meal prep.
