How this works
Table salt has a density of about 1.217 g/mL (reference: 1 tsp = 6g). That means 1 mL of table salt weighs 1.217 grams.
Ounces = tablespoons × 0.6348
Note: Fine-grain iodized or non-iodized. Coarser salts are less dense.
Why a cup of table salt doesn't always weigh the same
Volume measurements are forgiving in some ways and brutal in others. A cup of table salt can vary by 10-20% in weight depending on how it's measured: spooned vs scooped, packed vs loose, sifted vs unsifted. The density figure used here matches the most common published recipe conventions, but if you're after baking precision, weighing on a kitchen scale is more accurate than measuring by volume.
