If a recipe calls for kosher salt how much table salt can you substitute?

Most Kosher salts are more coarse crystals than regular table salt. But, the crystals are shaped slightly differently so that the end result is that they will usually occupy more space in the measuring spoon, and so you would use slightly more Kosher salt than you would the amount of regular salt called for in a recipe. See below for a rule of thumb on the ratio.
It is best to not substitute in precise baking, however.
When there is enough liquid in the recipe to be sure the coarser Kosher salt crystals will fully dissolve, there is less problem with a substitution. It will depend on the size of the crystals in the particular brand of Kosher salt used to know how much more you will need to achieve the same saltiness in flavor. Usually the box will give you a conversion. If not, contact the manufacturer to find out. Contact information should be on the label, but if not, a web search may turn up the contact information for that product.
Some use the rule of thumb to use 1 1/2 times Kosher salt to regular salt and some double the amount. When going for flavor, instead of precise baking results using Kosher salt, I usually just measure the same amount spoon for spoon and then adjust for individual tastes at the table or by tasting during the cooking process to determine if more saltiness is needed. It is much better to start out with too little salt than with too much.
When trying to substitute regular salt for Kosher salt, I start with half as much as called for and then adjust to taste.

Where to buy kosher salt in Bangkok?
By default, all salt is kosher unless something is added to it to render it not kosher (usually flavourings). If you're just following a recipe that calls for coarse kosher salt, any coarse salt will do, or you could just use table salt.
Which salt can be used to substitute kosher salt?
Regular table salt.
What can you substitute kosher salt with?
Any serious difference exist between kosher salt and standard table salt.

You actually use more sea salt in cooking than one would use kosher or table salt.
Can you use iodized salt if the recipe says kosher salt?
Yes, you can. Kosher salt is the same as table salt, only a larger granule.
Does kosher salt seasoned the food well?
Kosher salt is used in cooking mostly because it's easier to handle than table salt. The large, coarse grains are easily pinched with the fingers, and sprinkled around the food. Also, because the grains are bigger they occupy more volume, so if a recipe calls for a tablespoon of kosher salt and you substitute a tablespoon of table salt you'll get too much. And because the grains don't dissolve immediately, it can be used for garnishing. Another reason cooks like to use kosher salt is that its flavour isn't mixed with a hint of iodine.
If the recipe calls for sea salt can kosher salt be used?
Yes, you can. However, kosher salt is the same as table salt which is normally less 'salty' than sea salt while containing higher levels of sodium. You would have to adjust the amount of salt used as it will most likely take more than a recipe using sea salt would call for.
How much does 1 cup kosher salt weigh in grams?
It depends on the brand of kosher salt and the size of the flake. Morton Kosher salt weighs about 5oz per cup. Diamond Crystal closer to 8oz. Unless you know the brand of kosher salt the recipe calls for, you should always add salt by weight.Standard table salt contains 2300mg of sodium. Salt is about 40% sodium by weight. There fore a teaspoon of table salt weighs 6 grams.So whenever a recipe calls for a teaspoon of salt, you should assume it needs 6 grams.If a recipe calls for a teaspoon of kosher salt, and doesn't tell you what brand; you either need a different recipe, or you need to query the person who wrote it to ask them what they used.One teaspoon of Morton Kosher Salt weighs 6 grams. (I went at this the old fashioned way: with a teaspoon measure and a scale.)
Kosher salt conversion?
Kosher salt by definition is no different from ordinary table salt from a kosher standpoint. The difference lies in the fact that kosher salt, unlike regular table salt, does not have any additives except for a free-flowing agent such as sodium ferrocyanide.Kosher salt has larger grains than ordinary table salt and as such must be measured differently. Because the grains in Kosher salt are larger than that of table salt, it occupies more space but is equal in weight. For this reason, it requires twice the kosher salt to equal the same weight of table salt. To make it real simple.. use the following conversions: 1 TBS of Table Salt = 2 TBS of Kosher Salt If a recipe calls for 2 TBS of Kosher salt and all you have is regular table salt, you would use 1 TBS of regular table salt. There are some issues with the kosher salt that you need to know.. It is not used in baking normally due to the fact that it does not dissolve as well unless there is ample liquid to facilitate it. It works extremely well in brines for brining meats and in rubs due to its courser texture.
