Unless otherwise mentioned, all
Chef In You recipes (excluding
Member Recipes) follow the US Dry and Liquid measurements. I thought of doing this chart given that many of our readers follow the metric system and always have a query with the measurements. Hope this helps.

1 quart = 1 L |
1 gallon = 4 L |
