A cubic centimeter (cm3) is a fundamental unit of volume in the metric system.
It is equal to one-thousandth of a liter. The plural form is cubic centimeters.
A cubic centimeter is exactly equal to one milliliter (1 cm3 = 1 mL).
Because they are identical, converting between cm3 and mL is a simple one-to-one conversion.
This crucial equivalence is widely used in science, particularly in chemistry and medicine, as well as in everyday tasks like cooking.
The abbreviation "cc" is a common substitute for cubic centimeters, especially in the medical and automotive fields.
In Medicine: A cc is used to measure dosages of liquid medicine for injections. For example, a syringe labeled "10cc" can hold 10 cubic centimeters (or 10 mL) of fluid.
In Automotive: In the car world, cc refers to an engine's displacement—the total volume of all its cylinders. A "1500cc engine" has cylinders that can displace 1500 cubic centimeters of air and fuel.
To visualize the volume of a single cubic centimeter, imagine a small cube with each side measuring exactly 1 centimeter in length, width, and height.
This is about the size of a standard sugar cube or a small die used in board games.
Understanding this physical size helps in estimating volumes and appreciating the unit's scale in practical situations.
Have you ever found a delicious Scandinavian recipe that calls for a "matsked" of an ingredient and wondered what it means? You're in the right place!
The matsked (msk) is a common unit of volume in Nordic cooking.
This guide will quickly teach you how to convert matsked to milliliters (ml), tablespoons, and liters so that you can get back to baking.
For those in a hurry, here are the key matsked conversions:
The most important thing to know about the matsked is that it's the direct equivalent of a standard metric tablespoon.
This makes conversions incredibly simple.
In the metric system, a tablespoon is officially defined as 15 ml. Therefore, a matsked is also precisely 15 ml.
Because there are 1,000 milliliters in one liter, the math is straightforward: 0.015 L × 1,000 = 15 ml.
This means if your recipe calls for one matsked, you don't need special equipment. You can use a standard tablespoon to get the perfect measurement every time.
The term "matsked" gives a clue to its origin. It is the Swedish word for "tablespoon," breaking down into mat (food) and sked (spoon).
The plural form you might see in recipes is matskedar.
As a staple of the Swedish measurement system, the matsked is frequently used in traditional and modern recipes across Scandinavia. Understanding its origin helps clarify its use, making it easier to explore authentic Nordic cooking.
