About Tablespoon (tbsp)

A US culinary unit of volume equal to exactly 1/16 of a US cup, or exactly 3 US teaspoons (≈ 14.7868 mL per NIST SP 811). Tablespoons are the standard US small-quantity cooking-measurement unit: butter portioning (1 stick = 8 tbsp), olive oil and cooking oil drizzles, salt and pepper to taste, fresh herbs, salad dressings, vinaigrettes, marinades, sauce reductions, and pharmaceutical dosing on US-labelled OTC liquid medications. US nutrition facts panels frequently use 'per 1 tbsp' as a serving size (peanut butter, mayonnaise, maple syrup, honey, jam). **Important**: the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL (not 15 mL) per AS 1014, set by the National Measurement Act — a 33% difference from the US tablespoon. The UK tablespoon (per BS 2050) and Canadian tablespoon are 15 mL — same as US. Recipes from Australia / NZ measuring by tablespoon should be flagged so international cooks can adjust. 1 tbsp (US) = 0.5 fl oz = 3 tsp = 14.79 mL.

About Quart (qt)

A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 2 US pints, 4 US cups, or 1/4 of a US gallon (≈ 946.353 mL). Quarts are a common US retail size for milk and juice cartons (the classic 'quart of milk' US carton), motor oil and other automotive fluids (1 quart bottles are the de-facto US automotive-fluid retail SKU — engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering, coolant), interior paint (consumer paint sample cans are 1 qt; many specialty / craft paints are quart-only), Crock-Pot / slow-cooker capacity ratings (2 qt, 4 qt, 6 qt, 8 qt), and home-canning / preserving (Ball Mason wide-mouth quart jars). A US quart is conveniently almost exactly one litre (~5.4% less), so many internationally-traded products use a single-SKU 1-litre size that satisfies both US quart-equivalent customers and metric markets. **Important**: the UK Imperial quart is 1.1365 L — 20% larger than the US quart. 1 US qt = 32 fl oz = 0.9464 L = 0.8327 UK qt.
