Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 19.2 tablespoons of table salt
- 1 tablespoon of table salt = 18g
- 19.2 × 18 = 345.6g
- Convert grams to ounces: 345.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 12.19 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If substituting table salt for kosher salt by volume, use roughly half the amount. For precision, convert by weight (grams) instead.
