Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15.04 tablespoons of table salt
- 1 tablespoon of table salt = 18g
- 15.04 × 18 = 270.72g
- Convert grams to ounces: 270.72 ÷ 28.3495 = 9.55 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Table salt is the densest common salt at 288g per cup. It is significantly heavier per measuring spoon than kosher salt because the fine crystals pack tightly.
