Convert Volume from Glas to Kryddmått (glas to krm)

Glas to Kryddmått Conversion Formula

Example

Let's convert 5 Glas (glas) to Kryddmått (krm).

Using the formula:

Therefore, 5 Glas (glas) is equal to 1000 Kryddmått (krm).

How many glas are in one kryddmått? One Kryddmått (krm) contains 0.005 Glas (glas) — the inverse of the factor above. Multiplying by 200 takes you from glas to kryddmått; multiplying by 0.005 brings you back.

Put in words: one glas equals 200 kryddmått, so the glas is the larger unit of this pair. Converting between them never changes the amount of volume being measured — only the size of the unit you count it in.

What is a Glas?

A Glas is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 0.2 Liters (l) or 200 milliliters (mL).

It's a simple and practical measurement, and its plural form is also "Glas."

Where Does the "Glas" Measurement Come From?

As you might guess from the name, "Glas" is the German word for a drinking "glass."

This unit of volume originates from the typical size of a standard drinking glass in Germany and other German-speaking countries.

While not an official SI unit, it's a common, practical measurement you'll often see in German recipes for cakes or for serving everyday beverages like milk or juice.

How Do You Convert a Glas to mL and Ounces?

Understanding how a Glas converts to other common units is essential for cooking and everyday use.

Since one Glas is exactly 200 mL, its conversions are very straightforward.

• Milliliters (mL): 1 Glas = 200 mL
• US Fluid Ounces (fl oz): 1 Glas ≈ 6.76 fl oz
• Imperial Fluid Ounces (fl oz): 1 Glas ≈ 7.04 fl oz

How Does the Glas Compare to Other Metric Units?

The Glas serves as a convenient bridge between other common metric volume units, highlighting its practical size for kitchen measurements.

• 1 Glas = 2 Deciliters (dL), as one deciliter is 100 mL.
• 1 Glas = 20 Centiliters (cL), as one centiliter is 10 mL.

What is a Kryddmått (krm)?

A Kryddmått (krm) is a Swedish unit of volume equal to 1 milliliter (ml).

It's a common measurement in Scandinavian recipes, especially for small, potent ingredients where accuracy is essential. The plural form is also Kryddmått.

What Does "Kryddmått" Mean?

The term "Kryddmått" is Swedish and directly translates to "spice measure."

This name perfectly reflects its primary purpose in Scandinavian kitchens: accurately measuring small quantities of ingredients.

This includes potent ingredients like cardamom and nutmeg, as well as leavening agents like baking powder, where precision is key.

How Much is a Kryddmått? (Conversions)

While a Kryddmått is standardized as exactly 1 ml, it's helpful to see how it compares to other common kitchen measurements.

Here are the most valuable conversions:

• 1 Kryddmått (krm) = 1 milliliter (ml)
• 5 Kryddmått (krm) = 1 teaspoon (tsk)
• 1 Kryddmått (krm) = Slightly larger than a "pinch"

This means if a recipe calls for one krm and you don't have the specific spoon, you can use 1/5 of a standard 5 ml teaspoon.

What is a Kryddmått Spoon?

The Kryddmått isn't just a theoretical unit — it's also a tiny measuring spoon.

In standard Scandinavian spoon sets, it's the smallest, usually marked "1 krm."

Those sets typically include a tablespoon (15 ml), a teaspoon (5 ml), and the Kryddmått (1 ml). This little spice spoon is essential for anyone cooking authentic Scandinavian recipes.
