Salt
Salt crystals differ in size, so a teaspoon of one salt does not hold the same amount of salt as a teaspoon of another. Weighing removes the problem.
- Kosher salt can replace canning/pickling salt only if measured by weight. Oklahoma State University Extension
- Measuring kosher salt by volume in brined or fermented pickles risks quality and safety. Oklahoma State University Extension
- Measure or weigh pickling salt carefully. National Center for Home Food Preservation, University of Georgia

Fresh and dried herbs
Dried herbs are stronger by volume than fresh. The ratio sources give differs, and some herbs are exceptions.
- Delicate herbs are much weaker dried; ATK lists basil, parsley, chives, mint and cilantro as better fresh. America's Test Kitchen
- Hardy herbs that dry well: oregano, sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram (ATK). America's Test Kitchen
- Dried hardy herbs work with more than 20 minutes of cooking and a good amount of liquid (ATK). America's Test Kitchen
- LSU: delicate herbs (basil, chives, cilantro, dill leaves, parsley, mint) go in at the end. LSU AgCenter
- Tarragon loses its flavor quickly when dried (Illinois Extension); no tarragon-specific ratio. University of Illinois Extension, Herb Gardening
