Diamond Crystal salt changes

IMHO salt should be measured by weight     A teaspoon of Diamond Crystal is not the same as a teaspoon of Morton's table and certainly not Maldon.    In the country, where son and others may be cooking and baking, I have labeled salt as "table" and "baking".

Absolutely agree per my own far less comprehensive measurements above.

I suppose. My Bug-A-Salt rifle (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) requires fine table salt and jams up with Diamond Crystal Kosher and I’ve always gotten the 3lb box of it. Never seen a 5 lb as the OP is accustomed to. 


Dammit. I think you just cost me 50 bucks.

Make sure to get the one with the laser sight!  

Better make it $100.  You're gonna want two or else you'll be fighting your grandkids away......

Not enough flies up here (Orillia) to justify the expense. but certainly entertaining. If it worked on mosquitoes it would be worth looking at, but I understand that's only for experts ☺️

Does anyone know how Fleur de Sel compares weight-wise?

I only use fleur de sel for a finishing salt so I've never much worried about measuring it out but I would expect it to vary depending on the brand and style.  

Serious Eats includes a generic "fleur de sel" in  this article that compares mass/volume measurements and shows fleur de sel comparable to Morton's kosher salt.

I have Jacobsen's pure flake sea salt that came in at 10 g/Tablespoon and a gros sel de Guérande (coarse grey sea salt) that's 14 g/Tablespoon
