Quart
A quart (qt) is a US customary unit of volume commonly used for measuring liquids like milk, juice, and cooking ingredients. One quart equals 4 cups, 2 pints, or 32 fluid ounces, making it a convenient size for everyday food and beverage containers. The word comes from “quarter,” representing one-quarter of a US gallon.
Quarts can be confusing in international contexts because the US and UK (Imperial) systems define the quart differently. A conversion tool helps ensure correct results when switching between quarts, liters, gallons, and other units used around the world.
Teaspoon
A teaspoon (tsp) is a small US customary unit of volume used mainly for measuring ingredients in cooking and beverages. One US teaspoon equals one-third of a tablespoon or about 4.93 milliliters, making it ideal for small additions like salt, spices, extracts, or medicine doses. It’s one of the most common measurements in recipes and is included in almost every set of measuring spoons.
Because metric measurements are widely used outside the United States, converting teaspoons to milliliters, tablespoons, or cups can be helpful when following international recipes. A conversion tool ensures accuracy so results remain consistent in the kitchen.
