About these units
Teaspoon (Metric) (tsp (m))
The metric teaspoon is universally fixed at 5 mL, offering complete consistency across countries that use metric culinary measurements. This simplicity is a major advantage over historical teaspoon variations. In metric recipe writing—especially in Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Europe—teaspoons serve as standardized micro-measures that are easy to convert and scale. Its widespread adoption demonstrates the advantages of aligning traditional kitchen practices with the predictable structure of the metric system.
Decistere (decistere)
A decistere equals 0.1 stere, or 0.1 cubic meters, commonly used when selling smaller amounts of firewood or measuring smaller timber volumes. Homeowners purchasing wood for fireplaces or stoves may find the decistere a more appropriate unit than the stere, because it matches typical household needs. Though not an SI unit, the decistere fits comfortably within the metric system, demonstrating how hybrid traditional-metric units survive in niche contexts.
