Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this weight ounces or fluid ounces?
It is weight ounces. This page converts cup volume into ingredient mass, not fluid ounces.
Does salt type or crystal size change the result for Salt?
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.
