Default Salt for Salt (was brining a brisket)

So I started thinking....... then I measured:

Pure sodium chloride: 2.165 gr/cm^3 ("grain density")
Morton's table salt: 1.228 gr/cm^3
Diamond Crystal kosher: 0.599 gr/cm^3
Morton's kosher: 1.048 gr/cm^3
Baleine sea salt: 1.048 gr/cm^3 (fine)

So, brand matters for kosher salt. And Kosher vs. table matters.

Tomorrow, PEPPER!
