🍨 What's a Dessert Spoon?
It's a spoon for desserts and soft stuff. It's bigger than a teaspoon but not as big as a tablespoon – right in the middle.
📏 Size Stuff:
Length: Usually around 6.5–8 inches long
Scoop Shape: Sort of medium oval or egg-shaped
Holds: About 10 ml (or 2 teaspoons)
🔹 Quick Look:
Tablespoon: 15 ml
Dessert Spoon: 10 ml
Teaspoon: 5 ml
So, yeah, 1 dessert spoon equals 2 teaspoons or about ⅔ of a tablespoon.
🍰 What It's For:
Eating stuff like pudding, cake, and ice cream.
For tiny amounts of stuff when you’re cooking.
Sometimes you see it at fancy dinners.
It pops up in old recipes (especially British or Australian ones) as a measurement.
🍴 Where Does It Go?:
At a fancy table:
The spoon goes above your plate, sideways, pointing right.
Sometimes a fork goes under it, pointing left.
⚖️ How to Measure:
In old recipes:
1 dessert spoon of sugar is like 10 grams
1 dessert spoon of oil is like 10 ml
📏 No dessert spoon? Just use:
2 level teaspoons
or ⅔ of a tablespoon
🧂 What It's Made Of:
Mostly stainless steel (it lasts).
Fancy ones are silver.
You can even find wood or plastic ones.
The scoop part is oval-ish and a bit deeper than a teaspoon.
🕰️ Quick History:
Showed up in the 1700s when dinners got all fancy.
Each course had its own spoon, so they made one for dessert.
🧼 How to Clean It:
Just wash it – either by hand or in the dishwasher.
Don’t use rough stuff on silver ones.
Polish silver spoons now and then.
🍮 Cool Facts:
Sometimes people use them for serving dishes.
They're part of the fancy sweet service with a dessert fork.
Not everyone uses them – some sets skip them.
