Liters to Quarts converter
Quick reference
About volume units
Cooking measures make volume the messiest category: a US cup is 8 fluid ounces (236.6 ml), three teaspoons make a tablespoon, sixteen tablespoons make a cup, and the US gallon (3.785 liters) is smaller than the old imperial gallon (4.546 liters) still implied in some British recipes. Metric kitchens simply use milliliters. When a recipe crosses the Atlantic, converting by weight is more accurate, but for liquids these volume conversions are exact by definition.
