About Teaspoon (US) (tsp (US))
Definition
The US teaspoon is a unit of culinary volume equal to 1/3 of a US tablespoon, or approximately 4.929 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 US tsp = 1/3 US tbsp = 1/6 US fl oz = 1/48 US cup ≈ 4.929 mL.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 4.929. To UK teaspoons: multiply by 0.832674. To tablespoons (US): divide by 3.
Practical Applications
Cooking and baking recipes, measuring medicine doses, adding spices, sugar or salt, and child medication dosing.
Interesting Facts
The US teaspoon is slightly smaller than the metric teaspoon (5 mL). The phrase 'a teaspoon of sugar' equals about 4 grams.
Common Mistakes
Using a regular eating spoon instead of a measuring teaspoon — actual teaspoons vary widely. Always use a calibrated spoon.
Educational Tips
3 tsp = 1 tbsp. 48 tsp = 1 cup. For mL conversion, remember 1 tsp ≈ 5 mL (the metric teaspoon is exactly 5 mL).
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.
