What is the Pint?

The pint equals exactly one half of a US quart (0.473176473 liters) in the United States and 0.568261 liters in the United Kingdom (the imperial pint, 20% larger than the US pint). The British pint is iconic in pub culture — beer and cider are served in imperial pints in UK pubs, and the imperial pint glass is a regulated measure required by law. In the United States, milk is commonly sold by the pint (often as half-quart cartons), and ice cream containers are often pints (16 fl oz US). The pint relates to the gallon (8 pt = 1 gal), the quart (2 pt = 1 qt), the cup (2 cups = 1 US pt), and the fluid ounce (16 fl oz = 1 US pt; 20 fl oz = 1 imperial pt). The discrepancy between US and UK pints reflects the older 1824 imperial reform that the United States did not adopt.

What is the Teaspoon?

The teaspoon equals exactly 5 milliliters (international culinary standard) or about 4.929 mL (US strict definition based on 1/3 of a tablespoon). The teaspoon is the smallest standard cooking measure, used worldwide for spices, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, and small ingredient quantities. A flat (level) teaspoon is the recipe convention; rounded or heaping teaspoons are inconsistent and avoided in serious cooking. The teaspoon is also a medical unit: many liquid medications are dosed in teaspoons (5 mL standard). The teaspoon relates to the tablespoon (1 tbsp = 3 tsp), the cup (48 tsp = 1 cup), the milliliter (1 tsp = 5 mL conventional), and the fluid ounce (6 tsp = 1 fl oz). Standardized 5-mL measuring spoons are available globally to avoid the variability of household teaspoons (which range from 2 to 7 mL).
