Table Salt — Frequently Asked Questions
292 grams of fine table salt is exactly 1 US cup. Table salt is very dense — significantly heavier than flour or sugar per cup. However, whole cups of salt are almost never used in cooking; salt is almost always measured in teaspoons or tablespoons.
Salt crystal size and shape dramatically affects how much fits in a cup. Diamond Crystal kosher salt (142g/cup) has large, hollow flakes. Morton kosher salt (218g/cup) has denser crystals. Fine table salt (292g/cup) is the densest of all. Using 1 cup of table salt where 1 cup of Diamond Crystal is specified would give you more than twice the salt.
1 gram of fine table salt is approximately ⅓ of a teaspoon (0.17 tsp). 1 teaspoon of table salt weighs approximately 6g. When in doubt, always weigh salt for precision, especially in bread baking.
Yes, but adjust the amount by weight, not volume. If a recipe calls for 6g (1 tsp) of table salt, use 6g of kosher salt regardless of volume. By cup volume: use 1½ cups of Diamond Crystal OR 1⅓ cups of Morton kosher for every 1 cup of table salt.
Some people detect a very slight metallic note from iodised salt at high concentrations. For everyday cooking, the difference is imperceptible. For fermentation, pickling, or delicate preparations, use non-iodised salt as iodine can inhibit fermentation and cause discolouration.
Salt affects yeast activity and gluten development in bread. Even small variations in salt amount can significantly affect the rise and flavour of bread. Professional bakers always measure salt by weight (grams) rather than by volume to ensure consistency.
