Measuring Jugs

Yes. Richmond’s measuring jugs are manufactured from food-grade, BPA-free plastic and are suitable for use in commercial kitchens, prep areas, and food production environments. The materials comply with safety requirements for direct food contact, making them ideal for measuring liquids, batters, dressings, and other ingredients used in hospitality. Their stain-resistant construction also helps maintain hygiene over time, even when used with oils, sauces, or acidic products. Unlike low-cost imports, Richmond’s range is sourced to meet professional kitchen standards where food safety and consistency are critical. These jugs are safe for use across food preparation zones, cold storage, and back-of-house operations.

Yes. Richmond’s measuring jugs are designed to handle a wide temperature range, making them suitable for both hot and cold liquids commonly found in commercial food prep. Whether you’re batching chilled ingredients in a cold room or handling warmed liquids like stocks, oils, or sauces straight from the cooktop, these jugs maintain structural integrity and readability. The durable plastic material resists warping, clouding, and cracking under typical kitchen temperature changes. For best performance, avoid direct exposure to boiling water or heating over open flame — but for pour-over, bench-top, or prep-line use, they’re highly reliable across hot and cold applications.

Richmond’s clear measuring jug range includes 1-litre, 2-litre, and 3-litre capacities — covering a wide variety of kitchen tasks from small portioning to bulk batching. The 1L jug is ideal for dressings, flavouring agents, or small quantities of liquid ingredients. The 2L option is well suited to mid-volume batching, such as sauces or stock bases in prep kitchens. The 3L jug is designed for larger-scale production, ideal for catering kitchens, commercial bakeries, and centralised foodservice operations. All sizes feature the same robust construction, integrated handle, and clear measurement graduations, so staff can quickly identify the right jug for the job.

Yes. All Richmond measuring jugs are designed to stack neatly inside each other for efficient storage. This is especially important in hospitality kitchens where space is limited, and equipment must be easy to store between shifts. Their tapered shape allows for nesting without damaging the measurement markings or handles. Whether they’re stored on shelving, inside a drawer, or on a trolley, the stackable design makes these jugs highly space-efficient. Because they are also lightweight and durable, they can be moved quickly between prep areas or cold rooms without risk of cracking or losing functionality, even with regular daily use.

Yes. Richmond’s measuring jugs are suitable for cleaning in most commercial dishwashers found in foodservice and hospitality environments. The food-grade plastic is resistant to heat, moisture, and detergent exposure, ensuring the jugs remain clear, structurally sound, and easy to handle after repeated washes. They are built for busy kitchens where time is limited and hygiene must be maintained to a high standard. For best results, position them securely in dishwasher racks to avoid shifting or warping during cycles. Always follow your dishwasher’s recommended temperature settings to preserve longevity, especially if washing multiple times per day in high-temp machines.
