About these units
Teaspoon (US) (tsp (US))
The US teaspoon equals 4.92892 mL, though rounded to 5 mL in most practical applications. Before standardization, teaspoon sizes varied widely across households and manufacturers. With the rise of packaged foods, pharmaceuticals, and industrial recipes, the US standardized teaspoon values brought consistency to cooking and medicine. Today, the teaspoon remains the most common household unit for measuring small amounts—especially spices, extracts, and medicines.
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.
