About ounces Salt (ounces)
Ounces of Salt. Measured by US avoirdupois ounce (= 28.349523125 g exactly per NIST SP 811 — distinct from fluid ounce which is a volume unit). Mass-ounce measurement is preferred in US butcher/bakery/professional contexts where precision matters but the recipe uses imperial customary units. Common US baking ingredient packages list both ounces (mass) + grams: a stick of butter = 4 oz = 113 g; a 'pound' of flour = 16 oz = 454 g. CRITICAL: do NOT confuse with the troy ounce (~31.1 g — used only for precious metals) or the fluid ounce (volume unit = 29.57 mL). Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl, 97-99% purity per FDA 21 CFR 184.1810 standards) — the most universal seasoning across all cuisines. Density ~1.217 g/mL granular (1 teaspoon table salt = 6 grams; 1 cup = 273 g). Common varieties: iodized table salt (Morton, Diamond Crystal — iodized US grocery default, 45 ppm KI added to combat iodine deficiency per CDC), kosher salt (Diamond Crystal Kosher — coarser flakes, no anti-caking agents, the chef's preferred salt; 1 teaspoon = 2.8 g, much lighter than table salt by volume — major recipe-tweaking implication!), sea salt (Maldon flake salt, fleur de sel, gros sel — texture + finishing use), Himalayan pink salt (mined from Punjab/Pakistan, trace minerals + iron oxide create the pink color), and specialty kala namak (Indian black salt — sulfur compounds give it a hard-boiled-egg flavor used in vegan recipes). Volume measurements should NEVER be cross-substituted between salt types without recalibration (kosher salt is ~50% less dense than table salt). Density: 1.217 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About teaspoons Salt (teaspoons)
Teaspoons of Salt. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments. Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl, 97-99% purity per FDA 21 CFR 184.1810 standards) — the most universal seasoning across all cuisines. Density ~1.217 g/mL granular (1 teaspoon table salt = 6 grams; 1 cup = 273 g).
