A gallon (gal) is a unit of volume, most commonly associated with the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.
It is equal to 128 Fluid Ounces (fl-oz).
A common point of confusion is the difference between the US gallon and the imperial gallon (used in the UK and other Commonwealth nations).
They are not the same size!
This difference stems from historical definitions that were standardized differently in the US and Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries.
So, if you're comparing fuel efficiency, remember that "miles per gallon" ratings are based on different-sized gallons!
The word "gallon" has a rich history, tracing its roots back through several languages.
It originates from the Old Northern French word galon, which referred to a liquid measure.
This term is believed to have originated from the Gallo-Roman word gallēta, meaning a "pail" or "bucket." The ultimate origin likely goes back to a Celtic word, highlighting the unit's long-standing use in European trade and daily life for centuries.
While we typically associate the gallon with liquids, there is also a US dry gallon.
This unit, not commonly used today, is equivalent to one-eighth of a bushel, or about 4.405 liters. It was historically used to measure dry goods such as grain or fruit.
This is also why the famous "10-gallon hat" is a misnomer; its name doesn't refer to its volume.
Instead, it is thought to originate from the Spanish word galón, meaning "braid," which refers to the braided band on the hat.
A Tesked (tsk), the Swedish word for "teaspoon," is a unit of volume in the metric system.
It is a standard measurement in cooking, especially in Swedish recipes, and is officially defined as being equal to 5 milliliters (ml).
The plural form is Teskedar.
For a quick reference, here are the most important conversions:
One Tesked (tsk) is precisely equal to 5 milliliters (ml).
Since one tsk is 0.005 liters and there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, the conversion is straightforward (0.005 × 1000 = 5).
This makes the Tesked a practical unit for measuring small volumes, particularly in cooking or medicine, where milliliter measurements are standard.
In the metric system, a standard tablespoon (or "Matsked" in Swedish) is defined as 15 ml.
Therefore, three Teskedar are equal to one tablespoon (3 × 5 ml = 15 ml).
This simple 3-to-1 ratio is a fundamental and easy-to-remember conversion for anyone working with metric recipes, allowing for quick scaling and adjustment of ingredients.
The term "Tesked" literally translates from Swedish to "teaspoon" (Te = tea, sked = spoon).
In Sweden and many other countries that use the metric system for culinary measurements, the standard volume for a teaspoon is officially defined as 5 ml.
Because of this, the "Tesked" unit directly corresponds to the everyday metric teaspoon used in recipes worldwide.
The plural form, Teskedar, means "teaspoons."
