About these units
Quart (UK) (qt (UK))
A UK quart equals 1/4 of a UK gallon, approximately 1.13652 liters, making it significantly larger than the US quart. Historically used for beer, milk, and household liquids, the UK quart was a staple of British commerce for centuries. In many traditional recipes and food instructions, quarts remain in archival use. The quart illustrates the divergence between US and UK systems following the 18th-century measurement reforms, reflecting how cultural and regulatory environments shape unit evolution.
Tablespoon (UK) (tbsp (UK))
The UK tablespoon traditionally equals 15 mL, though older definitions ranged from 17.7 to 25 mL depending on period and context. In modern British cooking, the tablespoon is standardized at 15 mL, aligning it with the metric tablespoon used in many countries. This measure remains essential in culinary arts for oils, spices, flavorings, and liquid ingredients, demonstrating how some units survive because of convenience and cultural familiarity, even in highly metricized societies.
