Why this measuring jug earns its place
This is the workhorse jug. At 1 litre, it covers most prep tasks—sauce batches, stock reduction, dressing prep, batter. The clear glass is read from all angles (useful when measuring while cooking), and metric graduations are clear and durable. At 210 mm tall and under 1 kg, it sits comfortably in one hand and stores in standard shelving without fuss.
The fact that it goes in a conventional oven, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher means one jug can stay in the workflow without hand-washing or special handling. Freeze a batch of consommé in it. Reheat a sauce in the microwave directly. Pop it in the dishwasher between services. No restrictions, no workarounds.
Pyrex glass is tough—not fancy, not fragile, just reliable. It doesn't absorb stains or odours the way plastic does, and the graduations are fired on, so they don't rub off. For a kitchen that values simplicity and durability over novelty, this is the sensible choice.
