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.
A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a common unit used to measure volume in the imperial and US customary systems.
It tells you how much space a liquid takes up.
This is a common point of confusion: no, they are not the same!
The US fluid ounce is slightly larger than the UK (Imperial) fluid ounce. This slight difference is crucial to remember for recipes and measurements, especially when converting between systems.
The word "ounce" can be tricky because it measures two different things:
A fluid ounce (fl oz) measures volume (how much space something occupies).
An ounce (oz) measures weight (how heavy something is).
Think of it like this: a fluid ounce tells you the size of a container, while a regular ounce tells you how heavy its contents are.
For example, one fluid ounce of honey is much heavier than one fluid ounce of cooking oil because honey has a higher density.
The idea of the fluid ounce has a practical history.
In the British Imperial system, it was initially defined as the volume taken up by one ounce of water at a specific temperature.
This simple link between weight and volume made it a convenient and intuitive unit for measuring everyday liquids like water, wine, and ale for centuries.
