Expert Review and  Insights

In a professional kitchen, the basics have to be bombproof, and  this Cambro jug is just that. It feels incredibly solid in your hand, and  the clarity of the polycarbonate makes measurements a doddle. It’s a simple tool, but Cambro has perfected it for the non-stop environment of a busy service.

  • Built Like a Tank: The polycarbonate build shrugs off daily abuse, including accidental drops.
  • Open Handle Quirk: The open handle design can be slightly awkward for hanging on some racks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Pastry Corner, a popular dessert parlour in York, was constantly replacing its generic plastic jugs. They were becoming cloudy, stained, and  the printed measurements were fading, leading to inconsistent batches of their signature caramel sauce.

"We were binning jugs every couple of months. They'd either crack from the thermal shock of the hot sugar or just become unusable. Since switching to this Cambro model, we haven't looked back. It’s as clear and  sturdy as the day we bought it over a year ago."

Michael Davies – Owner

The switch completely eliminated their jug replacement costs and  ensured recipe consistency, reducing ingredient wastage by an estimated 5%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any residue from manufacturing and  shipping.
  • Take a moment to familiarise yourself with both the metric (litre) and  imperial (ounce) markings to avoid any confusion during a busy service.
  • Designate an easy-to-reach storage spot on a shelf rather than a hook, to protect it and  keep it handy.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse the jug immediately after use, especially with potentially staining ingredients like tomato or turmeric.
  • It’s fully commercial dishwasher safe, so place it securely on the rack for a hygienic clean.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can eventually dull the clear surface of the polycarbonate.
  • While incredibly tough, give it a quick visual check now and then as part of your kitchen's good practice routine.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Measuring Jug

Not sure which jug is right for your kitchen? Here’s what to look for.

Material Matters

For a professional kitchen, a heat-resistant polycarbonate jug is non-negotiable. It handles extreme hot and  cold temperatures and  resists breakage, unlike standard plastic or fragile glass.

Capacity is Key

This commercial measuring jug 1.9 litre is brilliant for batch work. Think about your daily tasks—do you also need smaller jugs for garnishes or larger ones for bulk stocks?

Readability Rules

Faded markings lead to errors. Look for clear, permanent graduations. Moulded-in markings, like on this Cambro FC087 measuring jug, are the gold standard as they simply can't wear off.

Handle with Confidence

A comfortable, sturdy handle is a crucial safety feature, especially when you're pouring nearly 2 litres of boiling liquid. Ensure it feels secure in your hand.

Prioritise Food Safety

Always choose BPA-free materials for any equipment that comes into direct contact with food. It ensures you meet legal standards and  protects your customers.
