£40.99(£49.19 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward graduated measuring jug made from stainless steel, holding 2.2 litres. It is designed for accurate liquid measurement and portioning during food preparation, and is a standard piece of smallware found across professional kitchens of all sizes.
Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for busy prep environments. It resists staining and odour absorption better than plastic alternatives, wipes down easily, and holds up well to repeated daily use and commercial dishwashing. The graduated markings allow kitchen staff to measure liquids quickly and consistently without needing to reach for separate equipment.
- Handles everyday prep tasks including stocks, sauces, batters, and portioning
- Easier to sanitise than plastic jugs and less prone to surface degradation over time
- Graduated markings support consistent portioning across service
There are no installation requirements — this jug is simply added to your prep kit. It is suitable for kitchens of any size, from small cafés to high-volume operations. For sites needing a smaller measure or a larger capacity jug, other sizes are available within the range.
If you are unsure which sizes or quantities best suit your prep workflow, the team is happy to help you put together the right smallwares kit.
£2.23(£2.68 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward stainless steel mixing bowl from Vogue, with a 1 litre capacity and a stackable design. It is the kind of bowl found on prep stations in kitchens of all sizes — useful for mise en place, whisking, holding small quantities of ingredients, and light mixing tasks.
Stainless steel construction means it holds up well to daily use, tolerates temperature extremes without warping, and is straightforward to clean and sanitise. At this capacity, it is best suited to small-batch prep work rather than high-volume mixing, and its lightweight build makes it easy to handle during busy service periods.
- Durable stainless steel resists corrosion and handles repeated washing
- Stackable design keeps prep areas tidy and saves shelf space
- Suitable for use across a wide temperature range
- Lightweight and easy to handle during service
- Practical for mise en place, portioning, and small-batch prep
At 1 litre, this bowl is well suited to individual portions and small prep quantities. Kitchens with higher-volume mixing requirements will likely need a larger capacity bowl alongside this one. It is worth considering a range of sizes if your prep work varies significantly in scale.
If you are putting together a set of prep bowls or are unsure which sizes best suit your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£2.98(£3.58 inc VAT)
The Wham Cuisine 2ltr measuring jug is a straightforward polypropylene jug designed for everyday measuring, pouring, and short-term liquid storage in a commercial kitchen environment. The large ergonomic handle and shaped pouring spout help control the flow of liquids, reducing spillage during busy prep periods.
Polypropylene construction makes this jug durable enough to handle the routine demands of a working kitchen. It is suitable for use in a microwave, and can go directly into the fridge or freezer, which is useful when batch-prepped liquids need to be chilled or reheated without decanting into a separate container.
- Dishwasher safe, keeping cleaning time to a minimum during turnaround
- Stackable design helps make the most of limited storage space
- Compatible with microwave, fridge, and freezer use
- Clearly marked measurements support consistent, accurate portioning
- Lightweight at 110g, practical for repeated handling throughout a shift
This jug is well suited to prep kitchens, front-of-house stations, and bakery or pastry sections where accurate measuring and quick pouring are part of the daily routine. It is a practical choice for catering teams that need reliable, washable, stackable measuring ware without the weight or cost of stainless alternatives. For operations with very high turnover or more demanding use, a heavier-gauge or stainless option may be worth considering.
If you are unsure which measuring jug or jug capacity suits your prep volumes, the team is happy to help you choose the right option.
£6.84(£8.21 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward polypropylene mixing bowl from Araven, a Spanish manufacturer with a long-standing presence in professional food preparation. Made from food-safe polypropylene, it is a reliable general-purpose bowl used across prep kitchens of all sizes for mixing, measuring, marinating, and holding ingredients during service.
Polypropylene is well suited to the demands of a working kitchen. It withstands boiling water without warping and can go directly into a microwave or freezer, which makes it practical for a wide range of prep tasks without the need to transfer between vessels. At 2.5 litres, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for everyday prep use — large enough for sauces, batters, and dressings, but manageable for single-portion mise en place work too.
Key practical advantages include:
- Safe for microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use — reduces handling between stages
- Withstands boiling water without distortion
- Lightweight polypropylene construction — easy to handle during busy prep periods
- Smooth interior supports thorough cleaning by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
There are no installation requirements. These bowls work equally well in large central production kitchens and compact single-kitchen operations. At this capacity, the bowl is best suited to operations with moderate prep volumes. Sites handling high-volume batch preparation may find a larger-capacity bowl more practical, and smaller options are available for lighter tasks.
If you are stocking a new kitchen or working out the right mix of prep bowl sizes for your operation, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£11.51(£13.81 inc VAT)
The Vogue 1ltr stainless steel measuring jug is a straightforward, well-made kitchen tool designed for accurate liquid measurement in professional food preparation. The graduated markings are etched on the inside of the jug rather than printed on the exterior, which means they remain legible through repeated washing and heavy daily use without fading or wearing away.
In a working kitchen, measuring jugs take a fair amount of punishment — knocked around during service, run through commercial dishwashers, handled quickly under pressure. Stainless steel construction makes this jug resilient to that kind of use, and the wide spout and substantial handle make controlled pouring straightforward even when working quickly.
- Etched internal markings stay readable through heavy daily use and commercial washing
- Stainless steel construction resists dents, staining, and corrosion
- Wide spout helps with controlled pouring at pace
- Easy to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
- A practical size for sauces, stocks, batters, and beverage preparation
At 1ltr capacity, this jug suits most day-to-day measuring tasks across pastry, larder, and sauce sections. It is not intended for very high-volume batch work where a larger vessel would be more practical, but as a standard prep tool it covers the majority of common requirements. If your kitchen regularly measures larger quantities in a single pour, a larger capacity jug from the same range may be worth considering alongside this one.
If you are equipping a new kitchen section or standardising your smallwares, we are happy to help you put together a practical list of what you actually need.
£3.96(£4.75 inc VAT)
The Pyrex 500ml measuring jug is a standard glass jug designed for accurate liquid measurement in professional kitchen environments. Made from borosilicate-style glass, it is built to withstand the temperature changes commonly encountered in day-to-day kitchen work, including use in conventional ovens, microwaves, fridges, freezers, and commercial dishwashers.
In a working kitchen, a reliable measuring jug gets used repeatedly across a shift — for sauces, stocks, batters, and prep work. The Pyrex jug holds up well to this kind of routine use. The glass construction means it does not retain odours or stain from strongly coloured ingredients, which is a practical advantage over many plastic alternatives.
- Safe for oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher use
- Glass construction resists staining and odour absorption
- Clear material allows easy visual monitoring of contents
- Suitable for both hot and cold liquids
- Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
At 500ml capacity, this jug is suited to smaller-batch prep and portion control rather than high-volume mixing. Kitchens needing to measure larger quantities regularly may find a bigger-capacity jug more practical for their workflow.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or building out a prep station and want to talk through what smallwares make sense for your setup, we are happy to help.
£17.55(£21.06 inc VAT)
This 550ml stainless steel measuring jug is a straightforward prep tool designed for accurate liquid measurement in commercial kitchen environments. Graduated markings allow staff to measure quickly without needing additional equipment, keeping prep efficient during busy periods.
Made from stainless steel, it holds up well to the demands of a working kitchen — resistant to knocks, easy to sanitise, and unaffected by the temperature extremes common in prep areas. At 140g it is light enough to handle comfortably during repeated use throughout a shift.
Practically speaking, a jug like this earns its place through reliability in the basics: consistent measurement, straightforward cleaning, and a material that won't stain, absorb odours, or deteriorate over time the way plastic alternatives can. It suits sauce work, stock preparation, pastry and bakery measurement, and general mise en place.
There are no installation requirements. It requires no power or plumbing and is suitable for any kitchen size or setup. Worth noting that at 550ml capacity it is well suited to portion-level measuring rather than large-batch work — kitchens needing to measure larger volumes regularly may find a bigger capacity jug more practical alongside it.
If you are putting together a prep kit and want a straightforward steer on what works well together, the team is happy to help.
£2.89(£3.47 inc VAT)
This is a small polypropylene mixing bowl from Araven, holding 0.5 litres and intended for general food preparation tasks in a commercial kitchen environment. Made from polypropylene, it is a straightforward, lightweight prep bowl suited to portioning, mixing small quantities, or holding prepped ingredients during service.
Polypropylene is a practical choice for kitchen smallwares. It tolerates a wide range of temperatures, meaning this bowl can go directly from freezer storage into a microwave or dishwasher without risk of warping or cracking under normal use. It will also withstand boiling water, which is useful when tempering small quantities or rinsing with hot water during cleaning. At 50g, it is light enough to handle comfortably during fast-paced prep.
In practical terms, bowls of this size tend to earn their place through sheer versatility on the prep bench:
- Suitable for portioning sauces, dressings, and garnishes ahead of service
- Handles freezer-to-microwave use without damage
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between uses
- Lightweight enough for one-handed handling during prep
- Polypropylene construction resists staining and odour absorption over time
This bowl is well suited to smaller prep tasks in any size of kitchen operation — from a café or small restaurant through to a larger kitchen where individual prep stations benefit from having dedicated small bowls to hand. If your operation involves higher-volume batch preparation, larger bowl options are available within the range.
If you are stocking up on prep smallwares and want to make sure you are selecting the right sizes for your workflow, we are happy to help you think it through.
£10.36(£12.43 inc VAT)
The Schneider 6-litre mixing bowl is a straightforward polypropylene prep bowl built for everyday use in commercial kitchens. It handles the full range of routine prep tasks — mixing batters, marinades, sauces, salad dressings, and similar preparations — without any fuss.
Polypropylene is a sensible material choice for this kind of work. It resists cracking and shattering when knocked or dropped, which matters in a busy kitchen where equipment takes a daily beating. The smooth interior surface cleans quickly, and the material does not absorb odours or staining in the way some softer plastics can over time.
- Shatter-resistant construction handles daily knocks and drops reliably
- Microwave-safe, so it can go straight from prep to reheating where needed
- Stackable design keeps storage tidy when multiple bowls are in circulation
- Smooth interior cleans quickly by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
- Lightweight enough for comfortable handling during extended prep sessions
There are no complex installation requirements — this is a standalone prep item that needs only shelf or drawer storage space. The stackable profile means several bowls occupy minimal space, which is useful in tight prep areas. Being microwave-safe adds a degree of flexibility during service if rapid reheating is needed without transferring contents to a separate container.
This bowl is well suited to small-to-medium prep volumes — catering teams, café kitchens, deli counters, and similar operations where a durable, practical prep bowl is needed day-to-day. For very high-volume prep environments running continuous batches, it is worth considering larger-capacity options alongside this size.
If you are unsure how many bowls your operation needs or whether a different size would suit your prep volumes better, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£25.65(£30.78 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward graduated measuring jug made from stainless steel, with a capacity of 1.1 litres. It is the type of everyday prep tool found in professional kitchens across catering, hospitality, and food production environments — useful wherever consistent liquid measurement is needed during service or prep.
Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice over plastic alternatives in commercial settings. It withstands repeated washing, handles hot liquids without distortion, and holds up well under the daily wear of a busy kitchen environment. The graduated markings allow for quick, accurate measurement without relying on separate equipment.
- Handles hot liquids without deforming or discolouring
- Graduated markings support accurate, consistent portioning
- Easy to clean and suitable for commercial dishwasher use
- Durable enough for daily use in high-turnover kitchen environments
- Lightweight at 250g, practical for continuous use during prep
There are no complex installation or utility requirements — this is a hand-use tool that requires no power, plumbing, or fixed installation. It is worth considering whether 1.1 litres suits your typical batch sizes; for kitchens working with larger volumes, a bigger capacity jug may save time during prep.
Well suited to catering kitchens, pub and restaurant back-of-house teams, and food prep operations where a reliable, hardwearing measuring jug is needed day to day. If you are equipping a full kitchen and want to discuss your smallwares requirements as a whole, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.
£4.45(£5.34 inc VAT)
The Vogue 2000ml glass measuring jug is a straightforward, well-made measuring vessel designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. Constructed from borosilicate glass, it handles hot liquids reliably — making it practical for measuring stocks, gravies, sauces, and boiling water without the risk of thermal shock that can affect cheaper glass alternatives.
In a working kitchen environment, accuracy and durability matter more than appearances. The clearly marked graduation scale holds up well over time, remaining legible after repeated dishwasher cycles. The large ergonomic handle gives a confident, controlled grip even when the jug is full, and the pouring spout channels liquid cleanly without drips or spillage — useful when precision matters during prep or plating.
- Borosilicate glass construction tolerates hot liquids safely
- Clearly graduated scale stays readable after repeated washing
- Large handle provides a secure grip at full 2-litre capacity
- Designed pour spout minimises drips and spillage
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround in busy kitchens
At 2 litres, this jug suits most general prep and service tasks — batch sauces, measuring liquids for baking, portioning stocks. It is best kept away from direct flame or oven use; it is rated for hot liquids rather than direct heat. For kitchens needing a smaller volume for precision work, a 1-litre option may be more practical day-to-day.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or restocking utensils and want to make sure you are choosing the right sizes and materials for your setup, the team is happy to help.
£14.65(£17.58 inc VAT)
This 1-litre polypropylene measuring jug from Pro-Measures is a straightforward, practical piece of smallware designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. The markings are hot-stamped rather than printed, which means they remain legible through repeated washing and prolonged use — an important distinction in a professional environment where printed graduations tend to fade quickly.
The jug pours cleanly and the handle is shaped to sit comfortably in the hand, which matters when staff are working quickly during a busy service. For kitchens operating a colour-coded system, the green colour allows this jug to be designated to a specific ingredient, allergen zone, or food group — helping reduce cross-contamination risk without additional labelling.
- Hot-stamped ml and litre graduations that remain visible with regular use
- Green colour supports colour-coded kitchen systems
- Ergonomic handle designed for comfortable, controlled pouring
- Drip-free spout reduces mess during service
- Lightweight polypropylene construction — practical for everyday kitchen tasks
There are no particular installation requirements for a jug of this type, though it is worth confirming it is compatible with your dishwasher's temperature settings if you plan to machine-wash it regularly. Polypropylene is generally robust, but sustained exposure to very high dishwasher temperatures over time can affect the material.
This jug is well suited to most commercial kitchens, from small independent operations to larger sites needing reliable, consistent measuring equipment across multiple sections. If you need a larger capacity or a different colour to complete a coded set, other options are available in the range.
If you have questions about building out a colour-coded system or need to specify jugs across multiple kitchen sections, we're happy to help you work through the options.
£24.40(£29.28 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, robust mixing bowl made from polypropylene — a practical choice for general food preparation in commercial kitchens. At 11 litres capacity with a 380mm diameter, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for prep bowls: large enough for batch mixing, marinating, or holding prepped ingredients during service, without being unwieldy for a single operator to handle.
Polypropylene is a well-proven material in catering environments. It handles boiling water without warping, tolerates freezer storage, and goes through a commercial dishwasher reliably without degrading over repeated cycles. It is also microwave safe, which makes it useful in kitchens where ingredients are gently heated or defrosted during prep.
In day-to-day kitchen use, bowls like this tend to earn their place through sheer versatility:
- Suitable for mixing, marinating, soaking and holding ingredients
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between uses
- Freezer safe for batch prep and advance preparation workflows
- Lightweight enough at 800g to handle comfortably during busy service prep
- Compatible with microwave use for gentle reheating or defrosting
There are no special installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of prep equipment. It is worth considering whether your prep volumes call for a larger or smaller capacity; kitchens handling high-volume batch work may find a larger bowl more practical, while smaller operations or those needing a secondary prep vessel may prefer a smaller size from the same range.
If you are equipping a prep kitchen from scratch or standardising your bowl sizes across a site, it is worth a conversation with us to make sure you are ordering the right mix of capacities for your workflow.
£3.86(£4.63 inc VAT)
This 4-litre polypropylene measuring jug is a straightforward, practical piece of kitchen equipment designed for everyday prep work in commercial kitchens. Made from durable polypropylene, it carries clear, fade-resistant graduated markings that allow accurate measuring of liquids during food production without the need for additional equipment.
Polypropylene is a sensible material choice for a busy kitchen environment. It tolerates temperature extremes well, making the jug equally suitable for measuring warm liquids, storing in a fridge or freezer overnight, or use in a microwave when reheating or softening ingredients during prep. It is also dishwasher safe, which matters in kitchens where turnaround time between service periods is short.
For day-to-day use, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- Clear graduated scale for accurate liquid measurement during prep
- Microwave, fridge and freezer safe for flexible use across service stages
- Dishwasher safe for quick, hygienic cleaning between uses
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive tasks
- Durable polypropylene resists cracking and general kitchen wear
This jug is well suited to most commercial kitchen environments — from small cafés and bakeries to larger prep kitchens where multiple jugs are kept in rotation. The 4-litre capacity handles bulk liquid measurement comfortably without becoming unwieldy. Kitchens with particularly high-volume or specialist measuring requirements may find it worth considering whether a larger range of sizes would serve them better.
If you are unsure which size or quantity best fits your kitchen's prep workflow, the team is happy to help you work that out before you order.
£1.86(£2.23 inc VAT)
This 1 litre polypropylene measuring jug is a straightforward, reliable piece of kitchen smallware designed for everyday prep use in commercial kitchens. Made from polypropylene, it is lightweight, robust enough for continuous daily handling, and resistant to the knocks and drops that come with a busy kitchen environment.
The clearly marked measurement scale allows kitchen staff to portion and measure liquids accurately without the need for additional weighing equipment, which helps to keep prep stations organised and speeds up routine tasks. The polypropylene construction means it is safe for use in microwaves, fridges, and freezers, making it practical across a range of prep and storage applications.
Key practical points worth noting:
- Dishwasher safe, reducing manual cleaning time during service
- Suitable for microwave, fridge, and freezer use
- Fade-resistant measurement markings for long-term accuracy
- Lightweight at 96g, comfortable for extended prep use
- A practical size for sauces, stocks, dressings, and batters
At 1 litre capacity, this jug is well suited to smaller batch work and individual prep tasks. Kitchens with higher-volume measuring demands may find a larger capacity jug more practical for their throughput.
If you are stocking out a new kitchen or replacing worn smallware and want to make sure you are specifying the right sizes across your prep setup, the team is happy to help.
£9.79(£11.75 inc VAT)
This is a 12-litre stainless steel mixing bowl from Vogue, designed for general preparation work in commercial kitchens. It features a flat base for stability during use and is stackable for efficient storage when not in service.
Stainless steel mixing bowls at this capacity are a standard fixture in professional kitchens — used for mixing batters, marinades, and dressings, as well as holding prepped ingredients during service. The flat base keeps the bowl steady on a work surface without needing to hold it, which matters when both hands are occupied. At 12 litres, it sits in a useful mid-range capacity that suits a wide range of prep tasks without being unwieldy to handle or store.
- Stainless steel construction resists staining, odours, and corrosion under regular use
- Flat base provides stability on prep surfaces without additional support
- Stackable profile reduces storage space between services
- Suitable for dishwasher cleaning, supporting kitchen hygiene routines
- Lightweight enough for frequent handling during busy prep periods
There are no unusual installation or storage requirements — this bowl works on any standard prep bench and stacks neatly with other bowls of similar profile. It is worth considering whether a smaller or larger capacity would better suit your most common prep tasks; kitchens with high-volume production may benefit from having several sizes available.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or restocking prep utensils and want to make sure you are selecting the right sizes for your operation, the team is happy to help.
£21.80(£26.16 inc VAT)
The Pyrex Expert is a borosilicate glass mixing bowl designed for professional food preparation. The 4.2-litre capacity sits in a useful middle ground — large enough for meaningful batch work such as dressings, batters, marinades and pastry preparation, without being unwieldy on a busy prep bench.
What distinguishes the Expert from a standard glass bowl is its angled base, which tilts the contents towards the working edge. In practice this means less chasing ingredients around the bottom of the bowl during whisking or folding, which matters when kitchen staff are working quickly through a prep list. The wide rim and integrated pour spout add to that practical ease of use, reducing spills when transferring to containers or moulds.
Glass construction brings a number of genuine advantages in a commercial prep environment:
- Non-porous surface resists odour and flavour transfer between uses
- Transparent walls allow contents to be checked without disturbing the mix
- Compatible with acidic ingredients such as citrus, vinegar and wine without reaction
- Easy to clean thoroughly, supporting kitchen hygiene standards
- The 10-year warranty reflects the durability expected from the Pyrex brand
As a glass item, it requires careful handling compared to stainless steel alternatives, and it is not suited to use directly on the heat or in a commercial oven. It is best positioned as a prep and mixing bowl rather than a heat-transfer vessel. For kitchens where bowls take significant daily punishment, a stainless steel option may be more practical.
This bowl is well suited to pastry sections, sauce preparation, cold larder work and any prep kitchen where precision mixing and clean transfer are part of the daily routine. It is a considered choice for chefs who value the visual clarity and chemical neutrality of glass in their prep work.
If you are equipping a prep section and want to discuss the right mix of bowl sizes and materials for your workflow, the team is happy to help.
£45.33(£54.40 inc VAT)
The Luminarc Empilable mixing bowls are small, practical tempered glass bowls used across a wide range of kitchen tasks — from holding prepped mise en place and portioned condiments to serving small accompaniments, sauces, or dressings at the pass. At 100mm across, they sit at the compact end of the range and are particularly useful where space on the prep bench or service station is limited.
Tempered glass offers meaningful advantages over standard glass or plastic alternatives in a working kitchen. It is resistant to chipping and light impact, handles the heat of a microwave without concern, and passes through a commercial dishwasher reliably without degrading over time. The 150g weight keeps them easy to handle during fast-paced service, and the stackable design means a full pack of 36 can be stored in a compact column without taking up disproportionate shelf space.
For kitchen teams, the practical day-to-day benefits are straightforward:
- Stackable for efficient storage in tight prep areas
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between service periods
- Microwave safe for gentle reheating where needed
- Tempered glass resists chipping under normal kitchen handling
- Transparent material allows easy visual checks of contents
Being glass rather than plastic or melamine, these bowls present well on the plate or board if used front-of-house for condiments or sides, though they are primarily a prep and service-support item. The 100mm size is best suited to individual portions or small quantities — for larger batch prep, bigger bowls from the same range may be more appropriate.
These bowls are well suited to cafés, bistros, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where consistent, washable smallwares are needed in reasonable volume. A pack of 36 suits most moderate-sized operations; higher-volume sites or those with faster service cycles may want to consider holding additional stock.
If you're unsure how many packs your operation needs or whether a different size would serve you better, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£3.95(£4.74 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, lightweight polypropylene mixing bowl intended for everyday food preparation tasks in a commercial kitchen. At one litre capacity, it sits at the smaller end of the mixing bowl range and is well suited to portioning, mixing small quantities, marinating, or holding prepped ingredients at a station.
Polypropylene is a practical choice for kitchen use. It handles boiling water without distorting, goes safely into the freezer for chilling down contents, and is microwave safe — useful when warming small amounts during service. At 90g it is light enough to handle easily, and the material is robust enough to withstand the daily wear of a busy prep environment.
From an operational standpoint, bowls like this tend to earn their place through sheer versatility:
- Compatible with commercial dishwashers, keeping cleaning straightforward
- Safe for direct microwave use without transferring to another vessel
- Handles boiling water, so suitable for direct-pour tasks during prep
- Freezer safe for chilling contents without needing a separate container
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive prep work
There are no installation requirements to consider here. Stack storage is easy given the weight and profile. It is worth noting that at one litre, this bowl is best suited to smaller prep tasks — kitchens requiring larger batch mixing volumes should look at higher-capacity options in the same range.
This bowl is a practical choice for any commercial kitchen needing reliable, multi-purpose prep bowls that hold up to daily dishwasher cycles. It suits cafés, hotels, restaurants, and contract catering environments alike.
If you are building out a prep kit and want to discuss quantities or sizes across the range, the team is happy to help.
£5.59(£6.71 inc VAT)
The Schneider 1Ltr mixing bowl is a straightforward polypropylene prep bowl intended for everyday mixing, marinating, sauce work, and general food preparation tasks in a commercial kitchen. It is a small-capacity bowl suited to individual portions, mise en place, and light prep rather than batch production.
Polypropylene is a practical choice for kitchen bowls of this type. It resists impact well, so it holds up to the routine drops and knocks of a busy prep area without cracking or shattering the way thinner plastics or ceramics would. It is also microwave-safe, which is useful where quick reheating or gentle warming of prepared ingredients is part of the workflow.
- Shatter-resistant construction handles daily knocks in a busy prep environment
- Microwave-safe material allows reheating without transferring to another vessel
- Smooth internal surface is straightforward to clean and dry quickly
- Stackable design keeps storage compact when multiple bowls are in use
- Lightweight at 112g, easy to handle during fast-paced service prep
Being small and lightweight, this bowl is well suited to garde manger sections, pastry prep, or any station where small-batch work is the norm. It is not intended for high-volume batch mixing — kitchens needing larger capacity bowls for bulk preparation would be better served by a bigger size within the same range.
If you are unsure which bowl sizes would best suit your prep workflow, the team is happy to talk it through.
£35.20(£42.24 inc VAT)
The Pro-Measures 10-litre measuring bucket is a straightforward, practical tool for commercial kitchens that regularly handle large quantities of liquids or bulk ingredients. Made from food-grade polypropylene, it is non-tainting and suitable for direct contact with food and drink preparations.
In a working kitchen environment, accuracy and speed matter during service. The measurement markings on this bucket are moulded directly into the polypropylene rather than printed or labelled, which means they remain legible through repeated washing and heavy daily use — a practical advantage over printed alternatives that fade over time.
A few features make it well suited to busy kitchen work:
- Moulded litre markings remain visible after extended daily use
- Drip-free spout reduces mess when pouring into pans or containers
- Stainless steel handle provides a secure, confident grip when the bucket is full
- Underside hand grip supports controlled two-handed pouring
- Food-grade polypropylene construction — non-tainting and easy to clean
The bucket is a single-piece polypropylene construction, which keeps it lightweight and easy to handle when full. It is not intended for use with boiling liquids directly from the heat source, so operators should be mindful of temperature limits when using it alongside hot processes.
This size is a practical choice for most kitchen sections — pastry, prep, and sauce work in particular — where measuring by eye is not reliable enough. Kitchens with very high-volume throughput or specific industrial requirements may find a heavier-duty option better suited to their needs.
If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your operation, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£15.33(£18.40 inc VAT)
The KitchenAid 8 Cup Batter Bowl is a straightforward measuring and mixing bowl intended for accurate preparation of wet and dry ingredients. Made from BPA-free plastic, it holds 1.9 litres and carries measurement markings in both half-litre and US cup increments on the interior, allowing quantities to be read directly in the bowl without transferring to a separate measure.
In a busy prep kitchen, small details matter. The non-slip base keeps the bowl steady on a work surface during mixing, and the integrated spout allows controlled, mess-free pouring directly from the bowl into tins, pans, or jugs. The non-slip handle gives a confident grip when the bowl is full, which is a practical consideration when moving between stations or pouring over a hot surface.
- Dual measurement markings in half-litres and US cups for versatile prep work
- Integrated spout for controlled, drip-free pouring
- Non-slip base and handle for stability in use
- BPA-free plastic construction — food safe
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
This bowl is suited to bakery prep, pastry sections, or any kitchen where batter, liquid mixes, or measured dry ingredients are handled regularly. Its compact size makes it practical for smaller-batch work rather than high-volume production; for larger batch prep, a bigger-capacity bowl would be more appropriate.
If you're building out a prep station and want to make sure you have the right sizes and quantities to hand, the team is happy to help you work through what's needed.

These Luminarc Empilable bowls are 200mm tempered glass mixing and salad bowls, supplied in a pack of six. They are a straightforward, practical smallware used across commercial kitchens for ingredient preparation, mise en place, serving accompaniments, and presenting salads or sides at the table or pass.
Tempered glass offers a reasonable level of resistance to everyday knocks and chips, which matters when bowls are moving through a busy kitchen multiple times per service. The glass construction also means there is no odour retention or staining from dressings, acids, or strong flavours — a practical advantage over plastic alternatives in a prep environment.
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint between services
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Microwave safe, useful for reheating components during prep
- Non-porous glass resists odour and staining from dressings and acids
- Tempered construction offers improved resistance to chipping and knocks
There are no special installation or utility requirements. These bowls work equally well in small café kitchens, restaurant prep areas, or catering operations where a consistent, reusable bowl is needed across multiple workstations. For sites requiring larger or smaller bowl sizes, or higher quantities, alternatives are available within the range.
If you are equipping a kitchen and are unsure which bowl sizes or quantities suit your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£3.01(£3.61 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, workhorse mixing bowl from Vogue — stainless steel construction, 2.2 litre capacity, and a flat base that keeps it stable on a prep surface during use. It is the kind of bowl found in prep kitchens across the trade because it does the job without complication.
In a busy kitchen environment, small equipment takes a considerable amount of daily handling, washing, and stacking. Stainless steel holds up well under those conditions — it does not absorb odours, resists staining, and tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles without warping or degrading over time. At 170g, it is light enough to handle comfortably during extended prep shifts.
- Stackable design keeps storage organised in tight prep areas
- Flat base provides stability when mixing, whisking, or holding ingredients
- Stainless steel construction is hygienic and easy to clean thoroughly
- Suitable for cold and ambient food preparation tasks
- Lightweight enough for comfortable repeated handling during service prep
At 2.2 litres, this bowl is well suited to portion-scale prep work — sauces, dressings, marinades, dry mix components, or ingredient staging. It is not intended for large-batch production; for higher-volume mixing tasks, a larger-capacity bowl would be the more practical choice.
There are no installation considerations here — this is a straightforward piece of prep kit. If you are equipping a new kitchen or restocking after a period of heavy use and want to talk through quantities or size mix, the team is happy to help.
£8.68(£10.42 inc VAT)
The Araven 4.5-litre polypropylene mixing bowl is a straightforward, robust prep bowl designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. Made from food-safe polypropylene, it handles a wide range of preparation tasks — mixing batters, marinating proteins, holding prepped ingredients, or storing portioned goods during service.
Polypropylene is a practical choice for busy kitchen environments. It tolerates temperature extremes well, moving safely between freezer storage and microwave use without warping or cracking, and it withstands boiling water — which matters when bowls are used across hot and cold preparation tasks throughout the day. The material is also resistant to the staining and odour absorption that can affect lower-grade plastics over time.
From an operational standpoint, a bowl of this capacity is well suited to medium-volume prep work — enough volume for batch mixing without being unwieldy on a prep bench. Key practical points include:
- Dishwasher safe, supporting quick turnaround between uses
- Freezer safe for storing prepped ingredients or made-up mixes
- Microwave compatible for gentle reheating during prep
- Withstands boiling water without deformation
- Lightweight at 310g, reducing fatigue during extended prep sessions
For high-output kitchens requiring larger batch sizes, or where bowls are in near-continuous use across multiple sections, it is worth considering whether a larger capacity or a full set of graduated sizes would better serve the operation.
If you are putting together a prep bowl kit for a new kitchen or replacing existing stock, our team is happy to talk through what works best for your volume and workflow.
£12.38(£14.86 inc VAT)
This is a 5-litre stainless steel mixing bowl from Vogue, fitted with a silicone base ring to prevent the bowl from sliding across a work surface during use. It is a straightforward, practical piece of prep equipment with no moving parts or complex features.
In a busy kitchen environment, small details like a non-slip base make a genuine difference during repetitive tasks — whisking, folding, mixing batters or dressings. The stainless steel construction is durable under daily commercial use, resists odour absorption, and is straightforward to clean. At 5 litres, it suits general-purpose prep work across a range of kitchen tasks without taking up excessive counter space.
- Non-slip silicone base keeps the bowl stable during active mixing
- Stainless steel construction handles daily commercial use reliably
- Practical size for sauces, dressings, batters, and general prep
- Easy to clean and compatible with commercial dishwashers
There are no installation requirements — this is a worktop item. It is worth considering whether a single bowl or a set of graduated sizes better suits your prep workflow; for high-volume operations handling large batches, a larger capacity bowl may be more practical.
This bowl is well suited to any commercial kitchen needing reliable, everyday prep equipment. If you are equipping a new kitchen and are unsure which sizes or quantities to stock, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£13.39(£16.07 inc VAT)
The Vogue 1.5ltr stainless steel measuring jug is a straightforward, practical tool for accurate liquid measurement in commercial food preparation. Constructed from stainless steel throughout, it is built to withstand the daily demands of a working kitchen without deteriorating in appearance or accuracy over time.
The measuring markings are etched on the inside surface of the jug rather than printed on the exterior. This matters in a busy kitchen environment where jugs are handled frequently, run through commercial dishwashers, and stored in cramped conditions — printed or embossed external markings tend to fade or wear away under those conditions, whereas internal etching remains legible over the long term.
In practical use, the wide spout gives reasonable control when pouring measured liquids into mixing bowls, pans, or bain-marie containers, and the handle provides a firm grip even when the jug is full. It is well suited to prep areas, pastry sections, and sauce work where repeatable, accurate measurements are part of the routine.
- Etched internal markings maintain accuracy through repeated washing
- Stainless steel construction is robust and hygienic for food contact use
- Wide spout supports controlled pouring with a full load
- Easy to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
- Practical size for everyday measuring tasks in prep and pastry work
This is a simple, reliable piece of kit that suits most commercial kitchens. If you have questions about which size or specification is most appropriate for your operation, the team is happy to help.
£16.23(£19.48 inc VAT)
This is a large-capacity polypropylene mixing bowl from Schneider, designed for everyday prep work in commercial kitchens. At 13 litres, it handles generous batch quantities of sauces, marinades, salad dressings, batters, and similar preparations without the need to work in multiple smaller stages.
Polypropylene is a practical choice for this kind of bowl. It resists cracking and shattering under the knocks and drops that are a normal part of a busy kitchen environment, and it holds up well against repeated washing in commercial dishwashers. The material is also microwave-safe, which means the bowl can move from the prep bench to a microwave for gentle reheating without needing to decant into a separate container — a small but useful time-saver during service.
- Resistant to cracking and shattering in daily kitchen use
- Microwave-safe for flexible prep and reheating
- Stackable design keeps storage organised and space-efficient
- Smooth surfaces make cleaning straightforward
- Lightweight enough for comfortable handling during prep
The stackable profile is worth noting for kitchens that hold multiple bowls of the same size. Bowls nest cleanly, which keeps shelf and rack space manageable — particularly relevant in prep areas where storage is tight.
This bowl suits most types of commercial kitchen: restaurant prep sections, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and pub kitchens alike. For sites with very high-volume prep that demands larger single-batch capacities, it is worth considering whether a bigger bowl would reduce the number of batches needed per service.
If you are unsure how many bowls or what sizes suit your prep workflow, we are happy to talk it through.
£19.86(£23.83 inc VAT)
The Pro-Measures Pro-Jug is a 5-litre polypropylene measuring jug built for everyday use in commercial kitchen environments. Made from food-grade polypropylene, it is designed to handle repeated handling, washing, and general kitchen wear without cracking or distorting over time.
In a busy kitchen, measuring jugs take a lot of punishment — dropped, stacked, run through commercial dishwashers, used for hot and cold liquids alike. Polypropylene holds up well under these conditions. The markings are moulded into the jug rather than printed on, which helps maintain readability through repeated washing cycles and keeps accuracy consistent over the life of the product.
At 5 litres, this is a practical size for bulk sauce preparation, stock work, batter mixing, or any task where a smaller jug would require multiple refills. Useful benefits for kitchen teams include:
- Handles both hot and cold liquids without distortion
- Clear graduated markings support consistent portioning
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended prep
- Stackable profile helps with organised storage in tight spaces
There are no installation requirements. This is a straightforward piece of prep equipment that suits most commercial kitchen contexts — from small independent kitchens through to high-volume operations. For sites needing multiple units across prep stations, it is worth considering a range of sizes alongside this 5-litre version to cover different prep tasks efficiently.
If you are equipping a new kitchen or reviewing your smallwares inventory and want a steer on what works well in practice, the team is happy to help.
£2.49(£2.99 inc VAT)
This 2 litre polypropylene measuring jug is a straightforward, practical piece of prep kit used across a wide range of commercial kitchens. It handles everyday measuring tasks — stocks, sauces, batters, dressings — and moves easily between prep, storage, and reheating without needing to transfer to a separate vessel.
Polypropylene is a sensible choice for this kind of jug. It resists staining and odour absorption reasonably well under normal kitchen use, and the graduated markings are fade-resistant, so readability holds up after repeated dishwasher cycles. The jug is safe for microwave use, which suits kitchens where small volumes of liquid need reheating quickly during service.
- Clear, fade-resistant graduated scale for accurate measuring
- Safe for microwave, fridge, and freezer use
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning
- Lightweight and easy to handle during busy prep
It is worth being realistic about what this jug is: a solid, everyday prep item rather than a precision measuring tool. For applications where exact volumetric accuracy is critical — pastry production, for example — a calibrated jug or measuring cylinder may be more appropriate. For general prep work, it performs reliably.
This size suits most standard prep tasks. Kitchens handling larger batch volumes may find a bigger capacity more practical, while smaller operations or front-of-house use may prefer a 1 litre option.
If you are stocking up on prep kit and want to make sure you are choosing the right items for your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help.
