Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the tablespoon size the same in every country?
-
No, tablespoon sizes vary by country; for example, the metric tablespoon is commonly 15 milliliters, but Australia often uses 20 milliliters.
-
What is the difference between a US liquid quart and an Imperial quart?
-
The US liquid quart is exactly 0.946352946 liters and differs from the larger Imperial quart, which is used in some other countries.
-
Can this conversion be used for dry ingredients?
-
The conversion is designed for liquid volumes; dry ingredient conversions may require considering density differences.
