About these units
Log (Biblical) (log)
A log is one of the smallest Biblical liquid measures, approximately 0.3–0.35 liters, or about the volume of a modern cup. Used for oil, wine, and ceremonial purposes, logs appear in priestly regulations for cleansing rituals and sacrificial requirements. The small size reflects its use in precise ritual acts where exact quantities mattered symbolically and practically. Its endurance in rabbinic literature and historical scholarship attests to the precision of ancient ritual systems.
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.
