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 teaspoon (tsp) is a unit of volume, but its exact measurement varies by system.
In both systems, it is standard that three teaspoons equal one tablespoon.
For consistency in nutritional labeling, recipes, and medicine, a teaspoon is legally defined in the United States as exactly 5 milliliters (mL).
While the precise scientific conversion is 4.92892 mL, the simpler 5 mL standard is widely adopted for its convenience.
No, they are not. It's crucial to distinguish between a measuring teaspoon and a cutlery teaspoon (the one you eat with). For accurate kitchen conversions, only a measuring spoon will do.
For accuracy in all your baking measurements, always use a proper set of measuring spoons.
The conversion from teaspoons to tablespoons is a simple and memorable 3-to-1 ratio.
There are precisely three teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.
This fundamental relationship (3 tsp = 1 tbsp) is a cornerstone of any recipe measurement, consistent across both US customary and imperial systems.
