500ml graduated measuring jug for measuring and preparing ingredients
The GRADUATED Measuring Jug 500ml (Plastic) – Volume Measure is a compact container designed for measuring, portioning, preparing and transferring liquids or powdered ingredients. Its 500ml capacity is practical for everyday tasks in bars, kitchens, pastry shops and other HoReCa preparation areas.
The transparent plastic body allows the contents to be easily observed, while the graduated lines and numerical markings at 50ml intervals make it easier to monitor volume during preparation. Its compact size makes the jug suitable for small to medium quantities without requiring the workspace of a larger-capacity container.

What can a 500ml graduated measuring jug be used for?
A graduated measuring jug is useful when ingredients need to be measured or portioned before being added to a recipe or transferred to another container.
The 500ml capacity is suitable for small to medium quantities and makes the jug useful for a wide range of preparation tasks.
It can be used for:
- measuring syrups, juices and other liquid ingredients;
- preparing premixes and small quantities of mixes;
- measuring and portioning powdered ingredients;
- preparing ingredients for kitchen, pastry and baking recipes;
- portioning ingredients before preparation;
- transferring ingredients between different containers;
- everyday prep tasks in bars, restaurants and other HoReCa businesses.
Compact size for everyday prep tasks
The 500ml capacity makes this measuring jug suitable for workstations where small to medium quantities of ingredients are frequently measured.
Compared with a 1L measuring jug, the 500ml format takes up less space and can be more practical when a recipe or preparation task does not require a larger volume.
In a bar, it can be used for syrups, juices, premixes and other ingredients prepared before or during service. In kitchens, pastry shops and bakeries, it can be used for measuring and portioning different ingredients required for recipes.
Graduated measuring jug for bar and cocktail prep
In bar work, there are situations where the amount of liquid to be measured is too large for the practical use of a jigger but does not require a 1L or larger container.
In these situations, a 500ml graduated measuring jug can be used for measuring and preparing premixes, syrups, juices and other liquid ingredients used behind the bar.
For individually measuring small quantities of cocktail ingredients, a jigger remains the more appropriate tool. The 500ml graduated measuring jug is primarily intended for quantities that exceed the volumes normally measured with a jigger.
Numerical graduations at 50ml intervals
The jug features graduated lines and numerical markings at 50ml intervals, allowing the volume to be quickly identified and monitored during preparation.
For the clearest reading, place the measuring jug on a level surface and observe the liquid level in relation to the markings on the container.
The graduations are intended for practical volume measurement during preparation tasks. The product should not be considered a calibrated measuring instrument or a container with a certified accuracy class.
Suitable for liquids and powdered ingredients
In addition to liquids, the jug can also be used for portioning powdered ingredients during preparation tasks.
It is important to remember that volumetric graduations indicate the volume occupied by an ingredient, not its weight. If a recipe specifies a powdered ingredient in grams, a scale should be used.
The jug is therefore practical for volume measurement and portioning, while a scale is the appropriate tool when a recipe requires measurement by weight.
Temperature resistance up to +125°C
The material of this measuring jug is specified with a temperature resistance of up to +125°C, extending its range of possible uses in different preparation tasks.
This value indicates the specified temperature limit of the material and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for directly heating the jug or placing it on a hob, open flame or other direct heat source.
Why is the transparent body useful?
The transparent body allows the contents to be directly observed and makes it easier to monitor the level in relation to the graduated markings.
This is practical during preparation because the quantity can be monitored directly inside the jug without transferring the contents to another container simply to check the volume.
500ml or 1L graduated measuring jug?
The most suitable capacity depends primarily on the amount of ingredients normally handled.
The 500ml measuring jug is a practical choice for small to medium quantities, smaller-volume premixes and workstations where a compact container is preferred.
The 1L measuring jug is better suited to batches, premixes and recipes prepared in larger quantities, where a larger container reduces the need to repeat the measuring process.
In a professional preparation area, both capacities can serve different purposes and complement each other depending on the volumes being handled.
Graduated measuring jug or graduated cylinder?
A graduated measuring jug and a graduated cylinder are different types of containers used for monitoring liquid volume.
A graduated measuring jug is designed for practical preparation tasks where an ingredient needs to be measured, handled and then transferred to another container.
A graduated cylinder has a tall, narrow shape and may be preferable when more detailed volume reading is required, depending on the specific graduation interval of the cylinder.
For everyday bar and kitchen tasks where measuring is followed by transferring the ingredient, the measuring jug format offers a practical solution.
Standard version or BPA FREE version?
This is the standard plastic version of the 500ml graduated measuring jug.
If an explicit BPA-free material specification is important when choosing the container, a separate GRADUATED Measuring Jug 500ml (Plastic) BPA FREE version is also available.
We do not attribute the “BPA-free” characteristic to this standard model unless this specification is confirmed for this particular version.
For bars, kitchens, pastry shops and HoReCa
The compact 500ml format makes this measuring jug useful for preparation tasks carried out before or during service.
It can be used in bars, restaurants, kitchens, pastry shops, bakeries and other HoReCa businesses, as well as at home for measuring and portioning ingredients required for different recipes.
Cleaning and care
To help protect the container and its graduated markings, we recommend hand washing and avoiding abrasive sponges or objects that could scratch the surface.
We do not recommend cleaning this product in a dishwasher.
