Commercial Measuring Cups & Portioners in Toronto & Canada

Measuring cups, spoons, and portioners keep recipes and servings consistent from one shift to the next, and you'll need them any time you're batching sauces, scooping dry ingredients, or plating to a set portion for food cost control. Winco makes most of what a kitchen needs, starting with the Polycarbonate Measuring Cup With Colour Graduations in sizes from 1 cup up to 4 quarts and the Stainless Steel Measuring Cup Set With Wire Handle for smaller amounts. For portioning, the One-Piece Stainless Steel Portion Controller comes in 1 to 8 oz solid or perforated styles, and the Ice Cream Disher scoops from 7/8 oz to 4 2/3 oz, handy for cookie dough and meatballs as well as ice cream. The Aluminum Scoop handles flour, sugar, and other dry goods in sizes up to 85 oz. From bakeries in Toronto to catering kitchens in Mississauga, we deliver measuring cups and portioners across the GTA — Brampton and Markham included — and nationwide across Canada, right from our home base in Vaughan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What does the number on a portion scoop mean?

The number on a portion scoop, also called a disher, tells you how many level scoops it takes to fill one quart, so a bigger number means a smaller scoop. As a general guide, a #8 scoop holds about 4 oz, a #16 about 2 oz, and a #30 about 1 oz, which makes it easy to portion cookie dough, muffin batter, meatballs, or mashed potatoes evenly. Winco lists its dishers by ounces instead of number, so you can pick the portion you want: the Winco Ice Cream Disher runs from 7/8 oz to 4 2/3 oz, and the Winco Stainless Steel Squeeze Disher/Portioner runs from 3/8 oz to 4 oz, with the diameter listed for each size. If your portions keep coming out uneven, a disher is the quickest fix.

What is a portion controller used for in a kitchen?

A portion controller is a serving spoon with a fixed capacity, so every scoop puts the same amount on the plate. That keeps servings consistent for guests and helps with food cost, since a little extra rice or sauce on every plate adds up over hundreds of covers. The Winco One-Piece Stainless Steel Portion Controller comes in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 oz, with coloured handles so staff can grab the right size quickly and a notch in the handle that keeps the spoon from falling into the food. Perforated styles let you drain and measure while serving, while solid styles suit sauces, rice, and other sides. If servers are eyeballing portions, a portion controller is an easy way to standardize.

What measuring cups, spoons, and scoops does a commercial kitchen need?

Most kitchens keep a few of each. For liquids, a large polycarbonate cup is the workhorse: the Winco Polycarbonate Measuring Cup comes in 1 cup, 1 pint, 1 quart, 2 quart, and 4 quart sizes with raised markings in both quarts and litres, and it's dishwasher safe and NSF listed. For small amounts, pair the wire-handle cup set with a spoon set like the Winco Deluxe Stainless Steel Measuring Spoon Set, which covers 1/4 tsp to 1 tbsp. For bulk dry goods like flour, sugar, and rice, a scoop is faster than a cup, and the Winco Clear Polycarbonate Scoop lets you see how much is in it, in sizes from 5 to 50 oz.
