This is true... but with most recipes even a half assed cook should never need
to measure salt other than by eye/hand, regardless which type. Why doesn't the
OP state the recipe, eh? The last time I actually used a measuring spoon for
salt (and it's been many years since the last time) was with my recent tapioca
pudding, but then I measured all the ingredients, but it was for 10 quarts...
not your typical household pudding quantity... and still I didn't measure the
salt very carefully, I remember it was 4 1/2 tsps, but all I did was hold the
spoon over the pot and pour and flip.... cooking ain't rocket science... BAM!
