Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this use a US cup?

Yes. The factor is tied to the US cup definition (236.588 mL), not a metric cup.

Does salt type or crystal size change the result for Rock Salt?

Rock Salt keeps one reference basis here, but crystal size and settling can change the real kitchen weight. Fine, coarse, table, and kosher salts should not be treated as interchangeable by volume.
