}Explanation
Convert ounces by weight of table salt to US cups with the same ounce-per-cup reference used in reverse.
Recipe or label weights can therefore be measured in cups on one consistent basis. 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. Table 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.
