- Truly Permanent Markings: These hot foil numbers survive daily dishwasher cycles without a hint of fading.
- Storage Space: Its large-capacity design means it can be a bit bulky for smaller kitchen shelves.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Kitchen, a bustling vegetarian café in York, needed to streamline their soup and sauce preparation. Their old measuring jugs had faded markings, leading to frustratingly inconsistent batch flavours and ingredient wastage.
"We batch-cook all our soups, and getting the seasoning right across 20 litres is crucial. The Pro-Measures jugs are brilliant – the markings are foolproof, and the green colour means no one accidentally uses the veg prep jug for anything else. Simple, but so effective."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
Since implementing the jugs, the café has achieved near-perfect consistency across its recipes and reduced associated food waste by over 10%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the jug a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Formally assign the green colour to a specific food group (e.g., vegetables and salad) in your kitchen's HACCP plan.
- Brief your team on the colour-coding rule to ensure everyone understands its purpose.
- Find a dedicated, easy-to-reach spot for it in the relevant prep section.
Keeping It Going
- Wash promptly after every use to prevent food residue from drying on.
- It's commercial dishwasher safe, but avoid abrasive scouring pads which can dull the plastic.
- While tough, try to avoid dropping it from a height, especially when full.
- When its long life is over, pop it in your plastics recycling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this 5 litre polypropylene measuring jug safe for use in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. It's designed to withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashing. Just steer clear of harsh, abrasive scouring pads to keep it looking its best.
Q: What measurement increments are on the jug?
A: It features clear, raised markings for both metric (litres and millilitres) and imperial (pints and fluid ounces) measurements for maximum versatility.
Q: Is the plastic BPA-free?
A: Yes, it is made from high-quality, food-grade polypropylene, which is completely BPA-free and safe for all food contact.
Q: Can I use it for boiling hot liquids?
A: It's best suited for cold, cool, or warm liquids. For boiling liquids fresh off the stove, we recommend using a stainless steel jug for optimal safety and longevity.
Q: What does 'hot foil' markings mean?
A: It's a process where the measurement markings are heat-stamped directly into the plastic. This makes them part of the jug itself, so they can't fade, peel, or wash off over time.
Q: Why is it green?
A: The green colour is specifically for kitchen colour-coding systems. It's the industry standard for preparing vegetables and salads, helping you prevent cross-contamination from other food types.
Q: Is it heavy to lift when empty?
A: Not at all. It weighs only 0.4kg when empty, making it incredibly lightweight and easy to handle before you fill it up.
Q: Can these jugs be stacked to save space?
A: Yes, they are designed to nest inside one another, making them easy to stack and store efficiently in your kitchen.
