How many ounces are in a quart? This guide explains the difference between ounces and quarts and provides practical conversions—quarts to fluid ounces and fluid ounces to quarts—that are useful in cooking and baking.
Baking is a science, and inaccurate measurements can cause recipes to fail. Learning a few simple conversions makes measuring liquids less intimidating and helps you get consistent results.
Different measurement systems are used around the world. The U.S. system uses distinct units for liquids and dry ingredients, while many other countries use the metric system. The United Kingdom and other countries that once used the Imperial system still show occasional differences in unit sizes.
What are ounces and quarts?
An avoirdupois ounce (abbreviated oz) is a unit of weight used to measure dry ingredients. One avoirdupois ounce equals one-sixteenth of a pound (about 28.35 grams).
One dry ounce = 28.35 grams (approx.).
Do not confuse weight ounces with fluid ounces. A fluid ounce measures volume and is abbreviated fl oz, fl. oz., or oz. fl.
1 US fluid ounce ≈ 29.57 milliliters.
1 Imperial fluid ounce ≈ 28.41 milliliters.
Although the differences are small, mixing US and Imperial measurements can affect a recipe’s texture and flavor. Always use the appropriate measuring tools—liquid measuring cups for liquids and dry measuring cups or scales for dry ingredients.
