Metal measuring cup Stalgast 506052

A measuring cup is a vessel calibrated to deliver a known volume of liquid or free-flowing dry ingredients. The cup is filled to the marked line, allowing kitchen staff to portion liquids such as oil, stock or cream without weighing each addition. This method speeds mise en place and standardises recipes across shifts and sites.

The operator pours the ingredient into the cup until the meniscus aligns with the 500 ml line. The cup is then tipped to transfer the measured quantity into the mixing bowl, saucepan or food processor. A steady hand and a level worktop prevent over-pouring, while the transparent wall lets the user check the volume at eye level.

The Stalgast 500 ml measuring cup is moulded in a single piece of clear, food-safe plastic. The material resists staining from oils and acidic liquids, and the smooth surface allows quick rinsing between uses. The base is flat and stable, reducing the risk of spills on a busy worktop.

A single volume marking at 500 ml is printed on the side in bold, permanent ink. The marking is positioned so that the user can read it without tilting the cup, ensuring consistent measurement every time.

The 500 ml capacity corresponds to half a litre, a common unit in professional recipes. This size is large enough to measure most single additions of liquid ingredients, yet small enough to fit under a standard tap for filling and rinsing.

Cleaning is straightforward: the cup is washed in warm water with a mild detergent, rinsed and left to air-dry. The absence of seams or internal corners means no residue is trapped, so the cup remains hygienic for repeated use.

The Stalgast measuring cup is listed in the catalogue under Kitchen Tools & Utensils, Measuring & Portioning Equipment.
