The standardization of the US teaspoon came with the development of the U.S. customary system. The teaspoon was officially defined to be 4.92892 milliliters to create uniformity in recipes and food preparation. This allowed for greater consistency in measurements, particularly in cooking. Despite the metric system's prevalence in many countries, the US teaspoon continues to be widely used in the United States for recipes and food labeling.

Despite the shift to the metric system in the UK for most measurements, the UK teaspoon is still used in cooking and recipes, particularly for traditional or non-metric measurements.
