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 milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume in the metric system.
It's equal to one-thousandth of a liter (0.001 L). The plural form is milliliters.
A milliliter is the same as one cubic centimeter (1 mL = 1 cm3).
This direct relationship makes converting between liquid volume and cubic measurements incredibly simple.
This is why vehicle engine sizes are often listed in both cubic centimeters (cc) and liters.
For example, a 1500 cc engine is the same as a 1.5-liter engine.
For most practical purposes, one milliliter of water at its densest has a mass of about one gram.
This simple one-to-one relationship makes the metric system very logical for science and cooking, where water is a common ingredient.
Although the official definition of the gram has been updated, this easy approximation remains widely used in many fields.
The milliliter (mL) is a key unit for measuring small amounts of liquid in many different fields.
You can find it everywhere, from kitchens to laboratories.
