Useful Information for Cooking

Quarts and gallons are units of liquid measure that are currently used mainly in the United States.

One gallon consists of four (4) quarts. However, we can break this down further to include teaspoons, tablespoons, cups (measuring cups for cooking, not coffee mugs), pints, quarts and gallons. We can also include ounces which are another unit of liquid measure. It should be noted that in this hub I am discussing liquid measure. Ounces and pints are also units of solid measure but the weight and volume are not necessarily the same for liquid and solid measures.

Since the logical uses of this knowledge of liquid measure are cooking and comparing units in a grocery store, I will put these measures and their relationships in a table format starting with the smallest unit, which is a teaspoon, and continuing to the largest, which is a gallon:

3 Teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon = ½ Ounce

16 Tablespoons = 1 Cup = 8 Ounces

2 Cups = 1 Pint = 16 Ounces

2 Pints = 1 Quart = 32 Ounces

4 Quarts = 1 Gallon = 128 Ounces

Believe it or not, I bought these really great containers for Iced tea for the summer and just couldn't figure how much powder per container! The tag said "128 oz" and kept confusing myself with my math! Thank you so much. I won't be thirsty this summer!
