Kosher salt substitutes

Tested swaps for kosher salt, with ratios and sources.

  • 1 tsp Morton kosher salt = ⅔ tsp table salt; 1 tsp Diamond Crystal = ½ tsp table salt (America's Test Kitchen)
    Kosher flakes are less dense by volume than fine table salt, and the two brands differ — Diamond Crystal is the lightest. Going from kosher to table salt, use less; weighing it is the surest way to swap without over- or under-salting.

  • 1 tsp kosher salt ≈ 1 tsp coarse sea salt of similar flake size (America's Test Kitchen)
    Flake size matters more than where the salt came from; match the grain and the volume holds. Fine sea salt is denser and behaves more like table salt.
