In a pro kitchen, you rely on your basics, and this Pro-Measures jug is as solid as they come. It's not trying to be flashy; it's focused on doing its job perfectly every time.

- Top Marks for Markings: The hot foil measurements are incredibly durable and easy to read.
- No-Frills Functionality: It's a fantastic basic jug, but lacks a lid for storage.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Café in Torquay needed to tighten up its food prep processes. Their existing measuring jugs had faded markings, causing frustrating inconsistencies in their popular seafood chowder recipe.
"We were constantly second-guessing our liquid measurements, which is no good when you have a reputation for quality. We switched to these Pro-Measures jugs, and the difference was immediate. The markings are bomb-proof, and the green colour helps our team keep the veg prep separate. It’s a simple change that has made a big impact."
Robert Evans – Head Chef
The café has since reported a noticeable improvement in recipe consistency and a reduction in ingredient wastage during prep.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the jug a good wash in warm, soapy water.
- Assign it to its specific task within your kitchen's colour-coding plan (e.g., green for fruit and veg prep).
- Store it on an easy-to-reach shelf where it’s ready for action.
Keeping It Going
- The jug is commercial dishwasher safe for quick and hygienic cleaning.
- To maximise the lifespan of the markings, avoid using abrasive scouring pads.
- Regularly check for any deep gouges or cracks that could harbour bacteria.
- As it's 100% recyclable, you can dispose of it responsibly at the end of its long life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this jug suitable for very hot or boiling liquids?
A: It's made from durable polypropylene and is fine for warm liquids like stocks or sauces. However, for boiling water, we'd always recommend a stainless steel jug.
Q: Are the measurements in ml?
A: Yes, the jug has clear, easy-to-read markings for both millilitres (ml) and litres (Ltr), making any recipe easy to follow.
Q: Can I put this in my commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. It's designed to withstand the high temperatures and rigorous cycles of a commercial dishwasher.
Q: What does the green colour mean in a kitchen?
A: In standard UK HACCP guidelines, green is designated for the preparation of fresh fruit, salads, and vegetables.
Q: Is the plastic food-safe?
A: Yes, it is made from 100% food-grade polypropylene, meaning it is completely safe for contact with all food types and will not taint them.
Q: How durable are the printed markings?
A: The markings aren't printed; they are applied with hot foil. This process bonds them to the jug, making them exceptionally resistant to fading and wear.
Q: Will it get cloudy over time?
A: High-quality polypropylene like this is resistant to clouding and staining with proper care. Avoid abrasive scourers to keep it clear.
Q: Is the handle comfortable to hold when the jug is full?

Ever wonder why so much professional kitchen gear comes in bright, distinct colours? It’s not for decoration; it’s a crucial part of a food safety system called HACCP. Using a green poly measuring jug for catering, for instance, creates a clear, visual rule: this jug is for fruit and vegetables only. This simple system acts like a traffic light for your kitchen, preventing dangerous bacteria from raw meat (often coded red) from ever contaminating a salad.
Think of it as creating 'safe zones' for your food. During a frantic service, it's easy for mistakes to happen. Colour-coding removes the guesswork, drastically reducing the risk of cross-contamination and protecting your customers, especially those with allergies. It’s a simple, low-cost habit that has a massive impact on kitchen hygiene and professionalism.
