Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1 cup of table salt?

1 US cup of table salt weighs 292 g, as measured by the USDA (1 cup). A tablespoon weighs 18.3 g.

How do I convert grams of table salt to cups?

Divide the grams by 292. For example, 100 g of table salt is 0.34 cups, about 1/3 cup.

Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?

No. A US cup is 236.6 ml and a metric cup (Australia, Canada, New Zealand) is 250 ml, so a metric cup of an ingredient weighs about 5–6% more than the US weights here.

Why weigh instead of using cups?

How you fill a cup changes how much goes in: scooped flour packs down, spooned flour stays loose. Weighing gives the same amount every time, which matters most for baking.
