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.
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
