A Tesked (tsk), the Swedish word for "teaspoon," is a unit of volume in the metric system.
It is a standard measurement in cooking, especially in Swedish recipes, and is officially defined as being equal to 5 milliliters (ml).
The plural form is Teskedar.
For a quick reference, here are the most important conversions:
One Tesked (tsk) is precisely equal to 5 milliliters (ml).
Since one tsk is 0.005 liters and there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, the conversion is straightforward (0.005 × 1000 = 5).
This makes the Tesked a practical unit for measuring small volumes, particularly in cooking or medicine, where milliliter measurements are standard.
In the metric system, a standard tablespoon (or "Matsked" in Swedish) is defined as 15 ml.
Therefore, three Teskedar are equal to one tablespoon (3 × 5 ml = 15 ml).
This simple 3-to-1 ratio is a fundamental and easy-to-remember conversion for anyone working with metric recipes, allowing for quick scaling and adjustment of ingredients.
The term "Tesked" literally translates from Swedish to "teaspoon" (Te = tea, sked = spoon).
In Sweden and many other countries that use the metric system for culinary measurements, the standard volume for a teaspoon is officially defined as 5 ml.
Because of this, the "Tesked" unit directly corresponds to the everyday metric teaspoon used in recipes worldwide.
The plural form, Teskedar, means "teaspoons."
A Kanna is a traditional unit of volume from Sweden, equal to 2.617 liters.
The word itself means "can," "pot," or "jug" in Swedish, directly reflecting its use as a container for measuring.
The correct plural form is Kannor, a term you'll find in historical records and recipes.
The Kanna has deep roots in Swedish history, serving as a standard unit of measurement long before the country adopted the metric system in 1889.
This measurement was a part of everyday life, used in homes and markets all across Sweden to measure everything from milk and spirits to dry goods.
The Kanna was part of a larger system of units, where a stop was half a Kanna, and a tunna (or barrel) was made up of 48 Kannor.
To help you visualize this volume, one Kanna is approximately the size of a large 2-liter soda bottle.
