About these units
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.
Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK))
A UK fluid ounce equals 28.4130625 mL, slightly larger than the US fluid ounce. It forms part of the imperial system used in cooking, beverage preparation, and older pharmaceutical formulations. Imperial fluid ounces were historically derived from the UK gallon (1/160 of a gallon), distinguishing them from US units derived from a different gallon. Though metric units dominate in the UK today, fluid ounces still appear in bartending, antique recipes, and product packaging that caters to traditional preferences or legacy export markets.
