Table salt has its own reference. Kosher salt, flaky salt, and coarse sea salt should not inherit it simply because the recipe uses the same spoon unit.
Keep the salt description
Retain the type or brand named by your recipe. If it specifies a salt outside this entry’s scope, keep its original weight or use a reference that actually matches it.
A conversion changes units. It does not decide whether another salt type can replace the original by volume.
Read the source unit
King Arthur supplies a table-salt source-tablespoon relationship. Doves Farm supplies a table-salt relationship using its explicit 240 mL cup, with the filling method unspecified.
The Doves Farm cup is a publisher-defined volume, distinct from the exact US customary cup. The selected reference can support an approximate conversion without turning its measuring method into an exact standard.
Check rounding at small quantities
When scaling a small salt amount, inspect the original value and the unrounded calculation before choosing a practical display. A whole-gram display may hide much of a small amount.
In Baker’s percentages, salt is expressed relative to total flour. If a starter contributes flour, include that flour in the basis before interpreting the salt percentage.
