Teaspoon (Metric)
The metric teaspoon equals 5 milliliters, standardized to simplify cooking and medical measurements in countries that use the metric system. Unlike the US teaspoon, the metric teaspoon is slightly larger (5 mL vs ~4.92892 mL) and is widely used in recipes, pharmaceutical dosing, and nutrition labeling. Its simplicity ensures consistency across recipes and instructions internationally.
Pint (US)
The US pint is a customary unit equal to 2 cups or 16 fluid ounces (~473.176 milliliters). Derived from British measures, it has been standardized in the US for liquid volumes. Pints are commonly used for beverages, dairy products, and liquid ingredients. Its use simplifies larger-volume measurements in recipes while maintaining compatibility with smaller units, such as cups and fluid ounces.
