Formula: 1 L ÷ 0.946353 = 1.0567 qt

How the liters to quarts conversion works

The US liquid quart is defined as 946.353 ml (a quarter of a US gallon), so a litre holds 1 ÷ 0.946353 = 1.05669 quarts. Going the other way, L = qt × 0.946353.

Worked example: a 5 L stock pot holds 5 ÷ 0.946353 ≈ 5.283 quarts. A 1‑quart carton is 0.946353 L — just under a litre.

Watch out for the imperial quart (1,136.52 ml) in older British recipes — it is about 20% bigger than the US quart, which is enough to throw off a brine. When a recipe just says “quart” and the source is American, it means the US quart used here.
