Single-conversion pages for table salt
Working with table salt
Table Salt sits in the leaveners, salt & spices group, where the ingredient is denser than water, so a cup weighs more than 240 g and volume errors translate into large weight errors. 1 teaspoon = 6 g. Fine table salt is nearly twice as salty by volume as flaky kosher salt.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in a cup of table salt?
