How Much Is 2.13 Ounces of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Cups?
2.13 ounces of kosher salt (morton) equals 0.25 cups. That's 60.38g, and Kosher salt (morton) has a density of 241g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.13 ounces of kosher salt (morton)
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.13 × 28.35 = 60.38g
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 60.38g ÷ 241g/cup = 0.25 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?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
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.
