Converting 0.95 pounds of kosher salt (diamond crystal) to cups gives 2.99 cups. First convert to grams (0.95 lb = 430.91g), then divide by the density of kosher salt (diamond crystal) (144g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.95 pounds of kosher salt (diamond crystal)
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.95 × 453.59 = 430.91g
- 1 cup of kosher salt (diamond crystal) = 144g
- 430.91g ÷ 144g/cup = 2.99 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 a Pound?
A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.
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.
