How many grams is two tablespoons of table salt?
One teaspoon of table salt weighs about 5.69 grams and one tablespoon is about 17.06 grams, so two tablespoons comes out to roughly 34.13 grams. Table salt is fine and heavy — one level teaspoon weighs about 5.7 grams. Kosher salt weighs less.
Small spoon amounts are where weighing has the biggest payoff: tiny errors compound in baking. If your scale reads in 1-gram steps you can measure table salt directly. (For reference, one US cup is 273 g.)
