}Explanation
Convert 1 US cup of rock salt to ounces by weight with an ingredient-specific cup reference.
The result is mass, not fluid ounces. That is especially useful for seasoning, brines, curing mixes, and baking recipes where salt type changes the weight behind the same spoon or cup measure. The reverse conversion uses the same ounce-per-cup reference.
