How to measure table salt accurately
Coarse kosher salt weighs much less per spoon than fine table salt.
Small amounts like baking powder and salt are measured with level spoons. For big batches, weighing is far more accurate.
For the most reliable result, weigh table salt on a digital kitchen scale: 288 g for every cup the recipe asks for.
