How to measure table salt

The weight of table salt depends on how it's measured. One cup of table salt weighs approximately 284 grams, but this can vary based on how tightly it's packed, the moisture content, and the specific brand.

For the most accurate results, we recommend using a kitchen scale. If you're using measuring cups, use the spoon-and-level method (spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it off with a straight edge).
