One of my chef instructors explained that both kosher salt and table salt will get the job done\u2014after all, every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-salt\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of salt<\/a> adds salinity to a dish\u2014but kosher salt's coarseness felt better in his hands compared to table salt's tiny crystals.\r\n\r\nWhat I didn't realize until much later is that not all kosher salt is equal. There's a difference in the two major brands, Diamond Crystal and Morton. You can substitute one for the other when measuring by weight, but you'll have to do some culinary math if you're using measuring spoons.\r\n<h2>What Is Kosher Salt?<\/h2>\r\nThis salt is a type of sea salt with a large grain size, making it easier to control than its fine-grained cousin, table salt. It got its name because it was popular among Jewish butchers. The larger flakes draw out moisture more quickly than table salt, making it a popular choice for koshering meat.\r\n\r\nKosher salt has long been a staple in restaurant kitchens, and many home cooks have adopted it as well.\r\n<h3 class=\"\">Kosher Salt vs. Table Salt<\/h3>\r\nThere are two main differences. For starters, kosher salt has a much coarser grain than table salt, which is composed of many fine salt granules. It's easier to oversalt when working with the smaller granules, and as a bonus, many chefs find it more satisfying to season with larger flakes. The size of kosher salt crystals creates a delicious crust when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-grill-steak\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grilling steak<\/a>. It's too large to come out of a salt shaker, though, so invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/salt-cellars\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">salt cellar<\/a> if you plan to keep kosher salt in the kitchen.\r\n\r\nThe second major difference is that kosher salt is pure sodium chloride. Most table salt is \"iodized,\" which means it has added iodine. Table salt also typically contains anticaking agents to prevent the small granules from sticking together.\r\n\r\nOne is not necessarily better than the other, but some people prefer using kosher salt for aesthetic purposes, as the additives in table salt can contribute to a cloudy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brine-a-turkey\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wet brine<\/a>.\r\n<h3 class=\"\">Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt vs. Morton Kosher Salt<\/h3>\r\nYou would think the two major brands of kosher salt\u2014Diamond Crystal and Morton\u2014could be used interchangeably, but their flake size differs considerably.\r\n\r\nMorton's thin crystals are made by crushing salt granules between high-pressurized rollers, while Diamond Crystal's pan-evaporated process creates smaller, pyramid-shaped flakes. This makes Diamond Crystal salt coarser than Morton, so it takes up more space by volume. That means that a teaspoon of Diamond Crystal salt won't taste as salty as a teaspoon of Morton.\r\n\r\n[embed_section]\r\n\r\n[embed-content imageid=\"1831447\" title=\" Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Diamond-Crystal-Kosher-Salt-lbs\/dp\/B0011BPMUK\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed-content imageid=\"1831446\" title=\"Morton Coarse Kosher Salt\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Morton-Coarse-Kosher-Salt-For-Everyday-Cooking-Grilling-Brining-and-as-a-Margarita-Salt-Rimmer-3-LB-Box\/10318925\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed-content imageid=\"1831450\" title=\"Morton Kosher Salt\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Morton-Kosher-Salt-Coarse-16-Ounce\/17283322\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[\/embed_section]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2 class=\"\">How to Use the Right Amount of Salt<\/h2>\r\nThere's an easy way to know how much salt to use: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-kitchen-scale\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kitchen scale<\/a>. Bakers measure by weight instead of volume because it's a more precise way of understanding ingredient quantities. A packed cup of flour has more weight than a cup of flour with air between the granules, and the difference can be devastating for pastries.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the day, don't stress too much if you're seasoning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-roast-vegetables-in-the-oven\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roasted vegetables<\/a> or meat for the grill. These dishes don't contain as much salt as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/this-is-everything-you-need-to-know-about-brine\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brine<\/a>, which might use a cup (or more!) of salt.\r\n\r\nIn general, use this conversion: 1 teaspoon of table salt has the same level of saltiness as 2 teaspoons of Diamond Crystal salt or 1-1\/4 teaspoon of Morton salt. And remember: Start small when working with any salt, but especially table salt and Morton salt. You can always add more salt later, but it's much harder to fix a dish that's already over-salted.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1831657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/salt-conversion-chart.jpg?fit=700,368\" alt=\"Salt Conversion Chart\" width=\"700\" height=\"368\" \/>\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to measure kosher salt vs. table salt, plus how much salt to use when using Diamond Crystal kosher salt vs. Morton kosher salt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7105,"featured_media":1831698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[303883,303897],"categories-v2":[308476,308490],"coauthors":[50034],"acf":{"long_pin_file":false,"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_moat_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.3 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Measure Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt vs. Morton Kosher Salt<\/title>\n\n\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-kosher-salt\/\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"How to Measure Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt vs. Morton Kosher Salt","description":"Learn how to measure kosher salt vs. table salt, plus how much salt to use when using Diamond Crystal kosher salt vs. Morton kosher salt.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-kosher-salt\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Kosher Salt vs. Table Salt: What Is the Best Salt to Use at Home?","og_description":"Heads up\u2014the two most popular brands of kosher salt are seriously different.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-kosher-salt\/","og_site_name":"Taste Recipes","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tasteofhome","article_published_time":"2018-01-29T21:30:08+00:00","article_modified_time":"2022-12-05T21:37:05+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":630,"url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/TOH-salt-social-GettyImages-1380802562-JVedit.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Lindsay D.
