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

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

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.
