How Much Is 4.25 Ounces of Kosher Salt (Diamond Crystal) in Cups?
Converting 4.25 ounces of kosher salt (diamond crystal) to cups gives 0.84 cups. First convert to grams (4.25 oz = 120.49g), then divide by the density of kosher salt (diamond crystal) (144g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.25 ounces of kosher salt (diamond crystal)
- Convert ounces to grams: 4.25 × 28.35 = 120.49g
- 1 cup of kosher salt (diamond crystal) = 144g
- 120.49g ÷ 144g/cup = 0.84 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Always check which salt brand your recipe specifies. Substituting one for another by volume can double or halve the salt content.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
