What is a metric teaspoon?

A metric teaspoon is a culinary volume unit defined as exactly 5 milliliters, commonly used for measuring small liquid volumes in cooking and medicine.

What is a hogshead used for?

A hogshead is a traditional barrel-based volume unit mainly used to describe the capacity of wine, beer, and spirit casks in trade and production.

Is the hogshead volume constant everywhere?

No, the hogshead’s volume has varied historically and regionally, so conversions should be seen as approximate.
