Product Information
Full details
The Cambro High Heat Measuring Jug is an essential tool for professional chefs and home cooks who frequently handle extreme temperatures in the kitchen. It provides the key benefit of extreme thermal tolerance—safe between -40°C and 190°C—allowing you to measure boiling liquids or frozen ingredients without concern for structural failure. The main caveat is that, while highly durable, the plastic construction may show surface scratches if cleaned with abrasive scouring pads over time.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I put this jug directly into a conventional oven?
Yes, it is engineered to withstand temperatures up to 190°C, making it safe for oven use within those limits.
Is the material BPA-free?
Yes, all Cambro high heat products are constructed from BPA-free materials.
Will the measurements wear off after many washings?
No, the graduations are moulded-in rather than printed, so they will not wear off or fade over time.
Can I use this to measure frozen ingredients?
Yes, it is rated for temperatures as low as -40°C, making it perfectly safe for frozen items.
Is the handle really cool to the touch after pouring boiling water?
The handle is designed to dissipate heat effectively, keeping it cool for safe handling under normal usage conditions.
Can I use metal utensils to stir ingredients inside the jug?
While durable, metal utensils may scratch the plastic interior; it is recommended to use silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the surface finish.
Troubleshooting
Measurements are hard to read due to staining.
Soak the jug in a mixture of warm water and mild dish detergent, then gently scrub with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
The jug feels slippery when handling oily liquids.
Ensure the handle and exterior are thoroughly cleaned after each use; if slippery, use a dry towel to grip the handle during transport.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Cambro High Heat Measuring Jug; it is ready to use out of the box. It is compatible with all standard microwaves and ovens suitable for high-heat plasticware. To ensure the longevity of the product, avoid using metal scrubbing pads or harsh scouring powders during manual washing, as these can create micro-scratches on the surface. While the jug is fully dishwasher safe, placing it on the top rack or away from direct high-heat heating elements in a dishwasher will further extend its lifespan. Store in a dry, cool area when not in use to maintain the structural integrity of the plastic.
