Help please with measurements!
Please help me figure this out. I'd like to make Norm's Onion Rolls today. I've got an old manual scale and believe I can get the flour and water measured but ".6 oz" of salt is going to be difficult. Can someone give me an approximate measurement of ounces vs teaspoons/tablespoons? I've been searching for the past hour and still can't figure this out. Just a starting point would be useful. Thanks in advance. Micki

Micki, the big issue with converting salt is that different types of salt measure differently. For example, I use Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and I have found that if a recipe gives both teaspoons and ounces or grams, when I measure the salt by weight, I have almost double the teaspoons listed in the recipe.
That said, a very rough starting point for table salt: 0.6 oz is about 1 tablespoon (or 3 teaspoons). If you are using kosher, you'll probably want to use more.
A teaspoon of basic table salt is about 6 grams, if that helps.
the above should be fine
the water is liqued wight so volumetric 8 oz is one mesure cup
Thank you both. Am afraid I'm still "old school" and used to using cups and tsp/Tbsp measures. Had decided I'd purchase a digital scale with some Christmas money but haven't made that trip yet. I do have the dough rising. Will report back on the end result. Thanks again. Micki
P.S. Gaaarp, I'm also a salt-a-holic, so 'large spoonfuls' are nearly a requirement.
