Got an ad for Cook's magazine. Was leafing through it and came across a measurement that I didn't recognize and they didn't explain:
1D teaspoon and later D teaspoon.
The letter D had a short horizontal line through the vertical part of the D at about the midpoint. What does that mean? Anyone?

(12,904 posts)It includes a dtsp. And, it looks like a double teaspoon, size-wise.
I have never used it.

(421 posts)Maybe the capital D with a line through it is some other form used there?
Anyway, a dessert teaspoon is equivalent to two teaspoons (10 ml). Does that make sense in your recipe?

(4,033 posts)but the 2 teaspoon measure seems the most logical, given the British/Australian measures of dtsp for 10 ml, tbl at 15 ml, and tsp at 5 ml. It also more or less makes sense in the recipe.

(36,827 posts)There are sets of measuring spoons that have that measure. I've also seen 1/2 tablespoon measures which equate to 1 + 1/2 teaspoons.
In the day and age with cheap scales accurate to 0.1g, I wish more recipes would reference weight rather than volume.
