Frequently asked questions
- Can I substitute kosher salt for table salt?
- Yes, but adjust the volume. For 1 tsp table salt, use about 2 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher or 1.25 tsp Morton kosher salt.
- Why does the type of kosher salt matter?
- Diamond Crystal and Morton kosher salts have different crystal structures; Diamond Crystal is less dense and you use more of it by volume.
