Definition
The US dessertspoon is a unit of volume approximately double a teaspoon, equal to about 9.858 milliliters, or 2 US teaspoons.
Mathematical Relationship
1 US dsp ≈ 2 US tsp ≈ 2/3 US tbsp ≈ 9.858 mL.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 9.858. To teaspoons (US): multiply by 2. To tablespoons (US): multiply by 0.667.
Practical Applications
Occasionally used in British/Australian recipes that have been adapted for US kitchens, and in traditional herbal medicine dosing.
Interesting Facts

Educational Tips
Think of the dessertspoon as 'double a teaspoon' — roughly 10 mL. It's the forgotten middle sibling of measuring spoons.
About Cubic Centimeter (cc) (cc)
Definition
The cc (cubic centimeter) is a unit of volume exactly equal to one milliliter and one cubic centimeter, widely used in medicine and automotive contexts.
Mathematical Relationship
1 cc = 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1,000 mm³. CC and mL are fully interchangeable.
Conversion Formula
To mL: 1 cc = 1 mL (exact). To liters: divide by 1,000. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.033814.
Practical Applications
Medical syringe volumes (e.g., '10 cc syringe'), motorcycle engine displacement (e.g., 600 cc), and IV fluid administration.
Interesting Facts
The ISMP (Institute for Safe Medication Practices) recommends using 'mL' instead of 'cc' in healthcare to prevent medication errors.
Common Mistakes
Confusing cc with other abbreviations in handwritten prescriptions. Healthcare is shifting to 'mL' to reduce errors.
Educational Tips
CC = cm³ = mL — all the same volume. In medicine, prefer mL. In automotive, cc is standard for engine size.
