Fine Table / Sea Salt Measuring FAQs

Why does table salt weigh more than kosher salt per cup? ▾

Table salt consists of tiny cubic crystals that pack tightly with little air, whereas kosher salt crystals are large, hollow flakes that trap air.

What happens if I swap table salt for kosher salt by volume? ▾

Using 1 cup of table salt instead of 1 cup of Diamond Crystal kosher salt adds more than double the sodium (288g vs 135g), ruining the recipe.
