Deciliters are not infrequently used in recipes here as well. I’ve never seen decameters or hectometers used by anyone.
Comment on Are metric measurements like decameters and hectometers ever used?

In America, I’ve seen nurses and diabetics use deciliters in reference to medication or concentration before.

Deci is 0.1 and that gets used frequently, deka is 10 and never gets used at all, except in Austria when grocery shopping at the deli counter. 🤷
Hekto is 100 and similarly never gets used, not even by Austrians.

Norwegian here, hekto gets used when buying fresh meat or fish
