Table salt
Table salt is a fine-grained salt, usually iodized. Its small crystal size makes it dissolve quickly, making it a kitchen standard.
Used to season nearly every dish. In baking, it balances sweetness and enhances flavors. Be aware: due to its density, 1 tsp of table salt is saltier than 1 tsp of coarse salt.

Storage & tools
- Store in a cool, dry pantry (under 21 °C / 70 °F) away from direct sunlight.
- Use airtight containers to keep humidity out — dry ingredients gain 1–2 % mass in humid air.
- Rotate stock: first in, first out, even when the product looks unchanged.
- Check best-by dates; potency can fade before the product looks old.
Keep sealed and dry to prevent clumping; add grains of rice in shakers if humid.
FAQ
- Can I swap by volume with kosher salt?
- No—crystal size differs; weigh or adjust (table salt is denser).
