Tablespoons and Quarts

Everything you need to know about converting quarts to tablespoons.

Quarts vs Tablespoons in the Kitchen

A quart (qt) equals 32 fluid ounces or 946.353 milliliters — a standard size for broths, stocks, and large liquid measurements. Most cartons of chicken broth from Swanson, Pacific Foods, and store brands come in 1-quart containers.

A tablespoon (tbsp) equals 3 teaspoons or about 14.787 milliliters. It's the standard measurement for butter (1 tbsp = 14g), cooking oil, honey, soy sauce, salad dressings, and many sauces. Recipes from Bon Appétit to NYT Cooking use tablespoons extensively.

Practical Uses for This Conversion

Meal prep often requires converting between quarts and tablespoons. Making a quart of salad dressing means knowing that 64 tablespoons worth of ingredients need to be combined. Scaling up a 2-tablespoon vinaigrette recipe to fill a quart jar means multiplying by 32.

Butter conversion is another common use case. One stick of butter equals 8 tablespoons. A quart of melted butter equals 64 tablespoons or 8 sticks — useful information for commercial baking and large-batch cooking.
