Single-conversion pages for kosher salt
Working with kosher salt
Kosher Salt sits in the leaveners, salt & spices group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. This is Diamond Crystal (1 tsp ≈ 3 g). Morton kosher is denser at about 4.8 g per teaspoon — check your box.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
