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.
Minim (US) (minim)
The US minim is defined as 1/60 of a US fluid dram, approximately 0.0616 mL. Similar to the UK minim, it originated in apothecary practice as a standardized alternative to the inconsistent "drop." Minims were used heavily in 18th–19th century American medicine for dosing tinctures, opiates, essential oils, and concentrated extracts. Although it has disappeared from modern pharmaceutical practice, the minim remains relevant for studying early American medical traditions and the evolution of clinical measurement.
