Description
This enamel measuring jug pairs a soft pistachio green outside with a cream lining, giving everyday cooking a cheerful, old-fashioned look. It is made from steel finished in enamel, with a straight-sided body, a cream rim, a pouring spout and a chunky squared handle in the same pistachio green. Clear graduation markings are printed on the inside, with one scale in litres and another in millilitres, so you can check your measure by looking down into the jug. It holds up to 1 litre, enough for a pint of stock, a batch of pancake batter or the milk for a white sauce. It stands 11cm tall, 13.5cm wide and 18.5cm long, and at 0.307KG it is light enough to lift and pour with one hand.
It belongs in the kitchen, close at hand whenever a recipe calls for a measured amount of water, milk, stock or oil. The spout gives a neat pour into a pan, a mixing bowl or a cake tin, and the handle keeps your fingers away from the rim. The litre scale suits quick everyday measures, while the millilitre scale helps with recipes that ask for something more exact. Its compact size means it tucks onto a busy worktop or into a cupboard without fuss, and the pistachio green sits happily alongside cream, white, sage or natural wood in a country or retro-style kitchen.
The body is steel coated in glossy enamel inside and out, so it has a smooth surface that is easy to wipe over with a damp cloth. As with any enamelware, wash it by hand in warm soapy water, dry it thoroughly and avoid knocks, as enamel can chip. Between uses, leave it out on an open shelf or the worktop: with its cream lining and soft green outside, it looks just as good standing beside a jar of wooden spoons as it does in use.
