Full API documentation

Explanation

Convert rock salt teaspoons to grams with an ingredient-specific teaspoon reference derived from the shared cup basis.

The gram result stays more consistent than a generic teaspoon chart. 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. 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 & Spoon Basis

  • Method basis: teaspoon-to-weight conversion derived from 192 g per 1 US cup.
  • Applied formula: grams = teaspoons × 4.
  • Consistency rule: snapshot, calculator, FAQ, and table use the same ingredient-specific basis.
