How Much Is 1 Ounce of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Tablespoons?
1 ounce of kosher salt (morton) equals 1.88 tbsp. That's 28.35g, and Kosher salt (morton) has a density of 241g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 ounce of kosher salt (morton)
- Convert ounces to grams: 1 × 28.35 = 28.35g
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 28.35g ÷ 241g/cup = 0.12 cups × 16 = 1.88 tablespoons
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.
