What does dl mean in finland cooking?

Answer 1

In Finnish cooking, "dl" stands for desilitre, which is a unit of volume measurement equivalent to one-tenth of a liter or 100 milliliters. It is commonly used in recipes to specify the amount of liquid ingredients such as milk, water, or oil. When a recipe calls for "dl" of an ingredient, it means you should measure out the specified amount using a measuring cup or scale.

Answer 2

dl is short for deciliter. One deciliter is one tenth of a liter.

If one liter consists of a thousand milliliters (ml), that means one deciliter must be a hundred milliliters. Your measuring jug will probably have ml markings. If not, one deciliter is about 0.4 cups.

Example:

500 ml = 5 dl = 0,5 L

Using dl for cooking is common in Europe. If you in any rare occasions stumble upon cl, centiliters, this means one hundredth of a liter. The rest of the world will probably use liters and milliliters.

dl = deciliter
