About these units

US Quart (qt)

US customaryCurrent unit

One quarter of a US gallon, 0.946353 L (32 US fluid ounces).

Quart is a word about fractions. It comes from Latin quartus, meaning one fourth, by way of French, and it was always meant to be a quarter of a gallon. Since gallons differed over the centuries, quarts did too. The US liquid quart is 57.75 cubic inches, about 0.9464 liters, while the imperial quart is a quarter of the 4.54609-liter imperial gallon, about 1.1365 liters. Canadian French even uses pinte for the imperial quart.

Older English trade also produced odd cousins. The Winchester quart was a big bottle holding two imperial quarts, later metricated to 2.5 liters, and the reputed quart of about 0.758 liters was once a standard British wine bottle size. In the United States a quart still means a carton of milk or cream or a tub of ice cream. Americans also use a separate dry quart, about 1.101 liters, for berries, so a quart of strawberries is larger than a quart of milk.

1 US quart = 0.946352946 liters (exactly).

Metric Tablespoon (tbsp)

Cooking & barCurrent unit

Exactly 15 mL, used in most countries.

Fifteen milliliters is the working size of the tablespoon in most of the world, and it is a rounded figure. Older customary values were about 14.8 mL for the US and about 14.2 mL for the UK, and modern UK and US measuring spoons are both treated as 15 mL in most contexts. The tablespoon itself dates to the early 1700s, when it first appeared in place settings for soup.

The 15 mL spoon is a staple in recipes everywhere. Three metric teaspoons make a tablespoon, and 16 and two thirds make a 250 mL metric cup. Australia is the notable exception, using a 20 milliliter tablespoon and counting four teaspoons to it, so a recipe from one country can taste off in another. Check which spoon a cook has in mind: scoops of oil, honey or baking powder amount to a third more in Australia.

1 metric tablespoon = 0.015 liters (exactly).
