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.
Hin (Biblical) (hin)
The hin is a smaller Biblical liquid measure, estimated at roughly 3.7–4 liters, or 1/6 of a bath. It was used primarily for ritual offerings, such as anointing oils and sacrificial libations. Because hin-sized quantities were manageable and portable, priestly instructions in Exodus and Leviticus frequently specify hin measurements for ceremonial mixtures. The hin illustrates how ancient systems used proportional units to structure both sacred and economic activities.
