What is salt?

Fine table salt is much denser by volume than flaky or kosher salt.

Baking recipes measure table salt either by volume (cups and spoons) or by weight (grams and ounces). One US cup of table salt weighs about 288 grams, and one tablespoon about 18 grams. Weighing is more accurate, because how you fill a cup changes how much goes in.

Do not swap table salt for kosher salt one-for-one: a teaspoon of table salt is roughly twice as salty as a teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
