Dessertspoon to Milliliter Converter

About this calculator

The dessertspoon is a metric measure standardized at exactly 10 mL — sitting between the 5 mL teaspoon and the 15 mL (UK) or 20 mL (Australian) tablespoon — and it still appears regularly in British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand recipes and older pharmacy dosing instructions. This converter multiplies your dessertspoon count by 10 to give millilitres directly.

Home cooks following a Commonwealth-style recipe use it to convert to the millilitre measurements their measuring jug or digital scale actually reads, while pharmacists and pharmacy technicians use the same 10 mL standard when interpreting older liquid-medicine dosing instructions written in dessertspoons rather than millilitres.
