About these units
Teaspoon (UK) (tsp (UK))
The UK teaspoon is defined as 5 milliliters, a value adopted in modern culinary and medical standards. Historically, however, its size varied considerably, often ranging from 4 to 6 mL depending on household spoons, region, or era. The modern 5 mL standardization brought consistency to recipes, pharmaceutical dosing instructions, and food labeling. Because teaspoons were once everyday household items rather than calibrated instruments, the move toward fixed metric equivalents significantly improved recipe reliability and medical accuracy. Despite the shift to SI units, the teaspoon endures as a culturally intuitive volume measure used in cooking and oral medication dosing, tying contemporary practice to long-standing domestic traditions.
Pint (UK) (pt (UK))
The UK pint, defined as 568.261 mL, is famous for its role in British pub culture. Beer and cider are traditionally served in pints, and the unit remains legally protected in pubs to this day. The pint is also used for milk and other daily-use liquids in the UK, maintaining its relevance even after metrication. Its larger size compared to the US pint (473 mL) is often a point of international curiosity. More than a measurement, the pint represents a cultural icon deeply woven into British identity and tradition.
