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.

Frequently asked questions

Is this jug suitable for hot liquids during service?

Polypropylene handles microwave reheating well, but it is not intended for direct contact with boiling liquids or for use over a flame or induction surface. For pouring or holding very hot liquids during service, a stainless steel jug would be more appropriate.

How accurate are the graduated markings for prep work?

The markings are suitable for general kitchen prep — measuring stock, sauces, or batters — where precision to the nearest 50–100ml is adequate. For applications requiring tighter accuracy, such as pastry or recipe development, a calibrated measuring cylinder is worth considering.

How many of these would a typical kitchen need to keep on hand?

Most kitchens keep two or three measuring jugs in rotation to avoid bottlenecks during busy prep periods. If your kitchen runs multiple prep sections simultaneously, having a jug available at each station tends to keep workflow moving without unnecessary interruption.
