  • Open Top Design: It's purely for active prep; not suitable for storing liquids in the fridge.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Coastal Kitchen', a bustling seaside bistro in Brighton, were constantly replacing cracked and  faded plastic measuring jugs. They needed a more permanent, professional solution for their busy kitchen prep line.

"We were buying new plastic jugs every few months. The switch to these Contacto steel jugs has been brilliant. They're indestructible, the markings are easy to read, and  they look far more professional. It’s a small change that has made our prep more streamlined and  cut down on needless waste."

Robert Green – Head Chef

The bistro has eliminated its quarterly spending on replacement plasticware and  reports that recipe consistency, especially for their signature sauces, has noticeably improved.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • On arrival, give the jug a quick check over to ensure it's in perfect condition.
  • Before its first use, wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
  • Rinse and  dry completely to prevent any water spots on the steel.
  • You're now ready to start measuring with precision!

Keeping It Going

  • Always rinse or wash the jug soon after use to stop ingredients from drying on.
  • The jug is perfectly safe to put in a commercial dishwasher.
  • To keep it looking its best, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads.
  • Store upside down on a drying rack to ensure it airs out properly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Measuring Jug

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here are a few quick tips to help you decide.

Material Matters

Stainless steel offers unmatched durability and  hygiene, while plastic can be lighter and  cheaper but may crack, stain, or warp over time.

Check the Capacity

Consider your most common recipes. Is this catering measuring jug 1.1L the right size, or do you need a larger or smaller one for your daily tasks?

Read the Markings

Look for jugs with clear, easy-to-read markings. Etched or stamped markings, like on this jug, will never fade, unlike printed ones.

Handle with Care

A strong, comfortable handle is vital, especially when you're carrying a full jug of hot liquid. Ensure it provides a secure grip.

The Perfect Pour

A well-designed spout prevents drips and  splashes, saving you time on clean-up and  reducing costly ingredient waste.

What Customers Are Saying

"An absolute essential. We have three of these and  they're in constant use. They survive being dropped and  endless cycles through the dishwasher without an issue."

Maria Evans – The Corner Deli, Bristol

"Great, sturdy bit of kit. The spout pours really cleanly. My only tiny gripe is that I wish they made a 2-litre version for our bigger batches!"

Why Stainless Steel is the Professional's Choice

Ever wondered why nearly every professional kitchen is filled with stainless steel? It's all about hygiene and  purity. Unlike plastic, stainless steel is non-porous. This means it can't absorb food particles, bacteria, or odours. Your curry paste measurements today won't make tomorrow's custard taste funny. Think of it like a glass chopping board versus a wooden one; one can be perfectly sanitised, while the other can hold onto strong flavours like garlic. This jug ensures that what you measure is exactly what you get, with no leftover tastes, making it a cornerstone of food safety and  flavour integrity.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafés: For accurately measuring milk, water for americanos, and  coffee syrups consistently.
  • Artisan Bakeries: Essential for precisely portioning wet ingredients like eggs, milk, and  oil for cakes.
  • Catering Kitchens: A must-have commercial measuring jug stainless steel for batch-making sauces, soups, and  gravies.
  • Cocktail Bars: Ideal for prepping larger batches of cocktail ingredients and  syrups before a busy service.
