About these units
Cup (UK) (cup (UK))
A UK cup equals 284 mL, slightly larger than both the US cup and the metric cup. Used historically in British cooking, the UK cup is now largely superseded by grams and milliliters, but it remains relevant when interpreting older recipe books and culinary traditions. Its intermediate size provided a convenient measure in a pre-metric world and still appears in baking communities that prefer imperial standards.
Dessertspoon (UK) (dessertspoon (UK))
A UK dessertspoon traditionally holds 10 milliliters, exactly double a teaspoon and two-thirds of a tablespoon. It served as an intermediate measure in older British recipes, frequently used before strict metrication took hold. Historically, its capacity varied between 8–12 mL, reflecting differences in cutlery styles and household practices. Many Victorian and Edwardian cookbooks reference dessertspoons extensively, making familiarity with the unit essential for culinary historians. Although largely obsolete in modern British cooking, the dessertspoon survives in heritage recipes, some baking traditions, and specialized kitchen contexts where small-to-medium quantities of liquid or spice must be measured.
