CalcPairsLiters to Quarts Converter (L to qt)
2 litres is 2.113376 US quarts. The US quart is exactly 0.946352946 L (a quarter of a US gallon), so litres ÷ 0.946352946 gives quarts — close to one-to-one, but the quart is about 5% smaller than the litre, and the gap compounds over a cooler or a stockpot.

How this conversion works
Stockpots, Dutch ovens, coolers and engine oil are sold in quarts in the US and litres almost everywhere else. Type either side — a 6-quart slow cooker is 5.678 litres; a 5-litre pot is 5.284 quarts.
The near-miss between the units is the trap: treating a quart as a litre under-fills by about 5%, harmless in soup and annoying in chemistry or engine oil. (The old imperial quart still exists in Britain at 1.13652 L — larger than the litre — but US packaging is what 'quarts' means today.)
The exact formula
quarts = litres ÷ 0.946352946
1 US quart = 0.946352946 L exactly. The reverse is litres = quarts × 0.946352946.
