How Much Is 10.16 Ounces of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Cups?
10.16 ounces of kosher salt (morton) equals 1.20 cups. Kosher salt (morton) has a density of 241g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10.16 ounces of kosher salt (morton)
- Convert ounces to grams: 10.16 × 28.35 = 288.03g
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 288.03g ÷ 241g/cup = 1.20 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If substituting one salt type for another, convert by weight (grams) rather than volume to keep the salinity correct.

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.
