About these units
Tablespoon (UK) (tbsp (UK))
The UK tablespoon traditionally equals 15 mL, though older definitions ranged from 17.7 to 25 mL depending on period and context. In modern British cooking, the tablespoon is standardized at 15 mL, aligning it with the metric tablespoon used in many countries. This measure remains essential in culinary arts for oils, spices, flavorings, and liquid ingredients, demonstrating how some units survive because of convenience and cultural familiarity, even in highly metricized societies.
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.
