Product Overview
Getting your measurements spot-on is the backbone of any professional kitchen. Introducing the Pro-Measures HP864, a robust and reliable 3 litre polypropylene measuring jug designed to handle the pace of a busy commercial environment. Forget flimsy domestic jugs that crack or have markings that fade after a few washes; this is the real deal, built for chefs, bakers, and caterers who demand accuracy and durability day in, day out.
This catering-grade jug is specifically for businesses that value precision and safety. With a generous three-litre capacity, it's perfect for measuring out stocks, sauces, batters, or any large-batch recipe. The standout feature is its clear, raised markings, which are hot-foiled onto the surface so they'll never rub off. Paired with its green colour, it’s an essential tool for implementing a professional, HACCP-compliant, colour-coded system to prevent cross-contamination.
Engineered from tough, food-grade polypropylene, it won't taint your ingredients and is even 100% recyclable. The ergonomic handle and precision spout make pouring controlled and effortless, minimising spills and waste. If you’re ready to upgrade your kitchen basics to tools that work as hard as you do, this commercial measuring jug is a must-have.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Kitchen, a bustling vegetarian cafe in Norwich, needed to improve its food prep safety and consistency for their popular soups and dressings. Their old, mismatched jugs had faded markings, leading to guesswork and waste.
"We were constantly second-guessing our quantities. These Pro-Measures jugs are brilliant – the markings are crystal clear and the green colour means the team uses them exclusively for our veg and salad prep. It just makes everything safer and simpler."
Robert Finch – Kitchen Manager
Since implementing the jugs, the cafe has reported a noticeable improvement in recipe consistency and has reduced liquid ingredient waste by over 10%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Formally assign the green jug to a specific food group (e.g., vegetables, dairy, or allergen-free).
- Brief your team on your kitchen's colour-coding system to ensure everyone is on board.
- Store it in an easily accessible place for quick, convenient use during service.
Keeping It Going
- While dishwasher safe, handwashing is often best to prolong the life of the jug.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals which can scratch the plastic.
- Do not use with boiling liquids (over 100°C) or place it in a microwave or oven.
- Regularly check for any deep scratches or cracks and replace if damaged to maintain hygiene.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this measuring jug dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, it is rated as dishwasher safe. However, to maximise its lifespan and the clarity of the markings, we often recommend handwashing when possible.
Q: What units of measurement are on the jug?
A: The jug features clear, raised increments for both litres (L) and fluid pints (P), making it versatile for various recipes.
Q: Is the plastic BPA-free?
A: Yes, this is a food grade measuring jug 3 litre, made from high-quality, food-safe polypropylene that is BPA-free and will not taint your ingredients.
Q: Can I use this for very hot liquids like boiling stock?
A: It's best to let liquids cool slightly before pouring them in. The polypropylene is durable but not designed for use with boiling liquids straight from the stove.
Q: How durable is the handle?
A: The handle is ergonomically designed and integrated into the main body of the jug, making it very strong and resistant to breaking under normal commercial use.
Q: What is the main benefit of it being a green measuring jug?
A: The green colour is designed for food safety colour-coding systems. Typically, green is reserved for use with fresh fruit, vegetables, and salads to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: Are the measurement markings easy to read?
A: Absolutely. The markings are raised and hot-foiled onto the jug, making them stand out clearly and ensuring they will not fade or rub off over time.
Q: Can I stack these jugs to save space?
A: Due to the handle and spout design, these jugs are not designed to be stacked inside one another.
The Pro-Measures Promise: Accuracy You Can Trust
Beyond its simple function, the Pro-Measures 3L jug represents a core commitment to consistency and safety in your kitchen.

It’s a small investment that pays daily dividends in consistency, efficiency, and professional peace of mind.

Ever wondered why professional kitchens use different coloured chopping boards and utensils? It’s all about preventing cross-contamination, and it's a simple system you can apply with this jug. Think of it like traffic lights for food prep: green is for fresh produce like salads and vegetables, red is for raw meat, blue for raw fish, and so on. By using this green jug exclusively for your veggie prep, you create a clear, visual safety barrier. This dramatically reduces the risk of dangerous bacteria from raw meat accidentally making its way into a salad. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to uphold food safety standards, protect your customers, and safeguard your hard-earned reputation.
