Full API documentation

Explanation

Use 192 g per US cup as the reference when converting rock salt from cups to grams.

Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. Rock Salt can vary with crystal size and how tightly it settles, so fine, coarse, and kosher salts should not be treated as interchangeable by volume.

Method & Cup Basis

Method basis: cup-to-weight conversion anchored to the US customary cup (≈236.6 mL).
Applied formula: grams = cups × 192.
Consistency rule: snapshot, calculator, FAQ, and table use the same ingredient-specific basis.
