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 kaffekopp (plural: kaffekoppar; abbreviation: kkp) is a unit of volume in the metric system equal to 150 milliliters (0.15 liters).
While not an official international unit, it is a traditional measurement essential for authentic Scandinavian baking and cooking.
The term "kaffekopp" is Swedish for "coffee cup."
This charming unit of measurement originated in traditional Scandinavian kitchens, where recipes were passed down using common household items, such as a standard-sized coffee cup, to measure ingredients.
To create consistency, the volume was later standardized to exactly 150 ml (or 1.5 dl), which reflects the typical size of an older Swedish coffee cup.
This standardization allows cooks everywhere to recreate historic recipes with perfect results.
Adapting a traditional Swedish recipe is easy when you know the right conversions.
One kaffekopp (kkp) is equal to:
Having these quick conversions is crucial for any baker or cook outside of Scandinavia wanting to follow traditional recipes without the guesswork.
The kaffekopp (coffee cup) is a traditional Swedish measure used in many classic baking recipes—especially for dry ingredients like flour and sugar.
For instance, an old sockerkaka (sponge cake) recipe might call for "2 kkp socker" (2 kaffekoppar of sugar).
Using this familiar, standardized cup helps maintain the correct ingredient ratios, which is crucial for achieving the authentic texture and flavor of Scandinavian baked goods.
So next time you see kkp in a recipe, you'll know exactly what to use.
