A measuring jug is a kitchen or laboratory tool used to measure the volume of liquids or ingredients. It typically has clear markings on the side, usually in milliliters (mL) or fluid ounces (fl oz), to provide accurate measurements. In the kitchen, measuring jugs are commonly used for cooking or baking, while in the lab, they can be used to measure and pour precise volumes of liquids for experiments.
Measuring jugs are often made from plastic, glass, or stainless steel, with plastic being the most common due to its durability and resistance to breakage.
