| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 50g (1.76 oz) | 2 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp | 41.1 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 100g (3.53 oz) | ⅓ cup | 82.1 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 150g (5.29 oz) | ½ cup + 1 tsp | 123.2 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 200g (7.05 oz) | ⅔ cup + 1 ¼ tsp | 164.3 mL |

Measuring 100g of Fine Table / Sea Salt in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of fine table / sea salt weighs 288g when measured pour and level, 100 Grams (100g) translates to 0.35 US cups (⅓ cup).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup (5.56 tablespoons total) using pour and level technique. Pour dry salt crystals into the measuring tool and swipe flat with a straight edge. Microscopic cubic crystals pack with minimal void space, making fine table salt extraordinarily dense at 288 grams per cup (6 grams per level teaspoon).

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.
