How to convert quarts to tablespoons

tablespoons = quarts × 64

Example: 3 qt × 64 = 192 tbsp.

Find out how many tablespoons are in a quart. Convert quarts to tablespoons instantly, see a chart from 0.25 to 32 quarts and get the exact formula. — On the scale, 1 quart lines up with 64 tablespoons; read any other amount straight across.

Multiply the quarts by 64. That factor is the kitchen chain in one step: 4 cups per quart and 16 tablespoons per cup.

Nobody spoons out a whole quart, so the number is most useful for ratios. If a brine calls for 4 tablespoons of salt per quart of water, each cup of water gets 1 tablespoon, and a full gallon needs 1 cup of salt.

The same factor tells you what share of a pot a spoonful is. One tablespoon in a quart of soup is one part in 64, so each extra spoonful of a strong sauce shows up in the taste.

US vs UK quarts and tablespoons

A British quart is two imperial pints, or 1,137 ml, about a fifth more than a US quart of 946 ml. Filling one takes about 76.9 US tablespoons, or 56.8 Australian ones of 20 ml.

So a per-quart ratio from a British recipe is slightly milder than the same wording in a US recipe. The spoons are almost equal in size, but the imperial quart holds more water.

quart and tablespoon sizes by country
Unit	Size	Used in
US quart	946.4 ml	US

US tablespoon	14.79 ml	US
metric tablespoon	15 ml	UK, Canada, New Zealand
Australian tablespoon	20 ml	Australia

How do you scale a per-quart recipe down?

Divide the tablespoons by the same factor as the liquid. A cup is 0.25 qt, so it gets a quarter of the per-quart amount, and a pint gets half.

With 3 tablespoons per quart, one cup needs 2 1/4 teaspoons and one pint needs 1 1/2 tablespoons. A single serving of 1/2 cup would get 1 1/8 teaspoons. Small results like these are easier to measure in teaspoons; see tablespoons to teaspoons.
