Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.98 cups of table salt
- 1 cup of table salt = 288g
- 0.98 × 288 = 282.24g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If your recipe was developed with kosher salt, using the same volume of table salt will over-season the dish. Always check which salt type your recipe specifies, or convert by weight.
