Why this measuring jug earns its place
This is a serious working jug: Cambro's polycarbonate design is certified food-safe and built to withstand the temperature swings a catering kitchen demands. Whether you're heating stock, tempering dairy, or portioning oil at speed, it holds 3.8 litres and doesn't warp. The amber-tinted plastic is easy to read volume markings on, even when half-full.
The jug sits comfortably in hand — 194 mm wide at the grip, 264 mm tall — and moves safely between the stovetop, workstation and storage. Cambro's thermoplastic construction won't crack under thermal shock the way ceramic would, and its high-heat rating means you can pour freshly boiled liquid without the jug degrading over time.
Cleaning is straightforward: fully dishwasher safe, and the simple geometry means no corners trap food residue. Freeze-safe too, so it doubles for prepping chilled ingredients on a service line. If you measure, mix and transport hot liquids regularly — and especially if you're working in volume — this jug earns its space.
