What is a 4oz jug used for in restaurants?
A 4oz jug is commonly used for individual portions of sauce so it can be served hot and poured at the table. It helps keep plating tidy and gives guests control over how much sauce they add.
How much is 4oz in millilitres for serving sauce?
Four fluid ounces in this jug is listed as 110ml, which is a practical single serve for gravy, jus, dressing or a dessert sauce without taking up too much space on the table.
Why do chefs serve jus in a separate jug?
Serving jus separately helps protect crisp textures on the plate and stops a dish sitting in liquid before it reaches the table. It also lets you present the sauce more cleanly and pour it at the last moment for better appearance.
