A measuring jug is a common kitchen utensil used for accurate measurement of liquids while cooking or baking. Alternatively known as a measuring cup, it is essential to measure the precise quantity of ingredients like water, milk, or oil. Synonyms for a measuring jug include a graduated cylinder, calibrated flask, or volumetric flask. These synonyms can be used interchangeably and produce accurate measurements. A graduated cylinder is widely used in chemistry labs for measuring precise volumes of liquids, whereas a calibrated flask is a vessel with a precise volume and calibrated scale etched on the surface. Volumetric flasks are also used for accurate measurement with a specific capacity and accurate calibration.
