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 Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

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 spoon and level it off with a straight edge.
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 spoon 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.
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 tablespoons than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
