How to Convert Deciliter to Teaspoon (UK)
To mL: multiply by 100. To liters: divide by 10. To cups (US): multiply by 0.423.
1 dL = 0.1 L = 100 mL = 100 cm³. There are 10 dL in one liter.
For example, 1 Deciliter (dL) = 16.89363262 Teaspoon (UK) (tsp (UK)).

About Deciliter (dL)
Definition
The deciliter is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter (10⁻¹ L), or 100 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 dL = 0.1 L = 100 mL = 100 cm³. There are 10 dL in one liter.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 100. To liters: divide by 10. To cups (US): multiply by 0.423.
Practical Applications
Scandinavian cooking recipes, clinical blood test concentrations (mg/dL), and European nutritional labels (per 100 mL = 1 dL).
Interesting Facts
In Sweden and Norway, recipes use deciliters instead of cups. Normal blood glucose is 70–100 mg/dL (fasting).
Common Mistakes
Confusing dL with mL in medical contexts — 1 dL = 100 mL, so a result of 100 mg/dL ≠ 100 mg/mL.
Educational Tips
Remember: 'deci' = tenth. 1 dL = a tenth of a liter = 100 mL. Nordic recipes use dL where Americans use cups.
About Teaspoon (UK) (tsp (UK))
Definition
The UK teaspoon is a unit of culinary volume equal to approximately 5.919 milliliters, slightly larger than its US counterpart.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK tsp ≈ 5.919 mL. Approximately 1.2 times the US teaspoon (4.929 mL).
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 5.919. To US teaspoons: multiply by 1.201. To metric teaspoons: multiply by 1.184.
Practical Applications
Traditional British recipes, Commonwealth cooking, and older pharmaceutical dosing in the UK.
Interesting Facts
The UK teaspoon is about 20% larger than the US teaspoon. A recipe calling for 5 UK teaspoons would need 6 US teaspoons.
Common Mistakes
Assuming UK and US teaspoons are the same — the UK teaspoon is about 20% larger. This matters in precise baking.
Educational Tips
Modern UK recipes increasingly use metric (5 mL teaspoons). When following older UK recipes, a UK tsp ≈ 6 mL.
