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.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convert ounces of table salt to cups? expand_more

For table salt, 1 ounce equals 0.10 cups. For other amounts, select an amount below or use the calculator for a custom quantity.

How do I measure table salt accurately? expand_more

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing table salt gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge.

Is the ounces to cups conversion the same for every brand of table salt? expand_more

No. This conversion is specific to table salt. Salt brands have dramatically different densities by volume. Morton kosher salt weighs nearly twice as much per measuring cup as Diamond Crystal, and table salt is denser than both. Always use the exact salt type your recipe specifies, or weigh by grams for accuracy.

Why does converting ounces to cups require knowing the ingredient? expand_more

The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of table salt fills a different number of cups than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
