To convert a pinch measurement to a cup measurement, divide the salt volume by the conversion ratio.

Since one cup of salt is equal to 768 pinches, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = pinches ÷ 768

The salt volume in cups is equal to the pinches divided by 768.

For example, here's how to convert 500 pinches to cups using the formula above.
500 pinches = (500 ÷ 768) = 0.651042 c

Pinches

A pinch is a small unit used in cooking, typically used to measure salt and other spices when seasoning. One pinch is equal to the amount of seasoning that can be taken between your thumb and finger, or 1/2 of a dash. The pinch is a rough measurement, but is commonly considered to be equal to 1/16 of a teaspoon.

Cups

A cup of salt is equal to 16 tablespoons of salt.

Cups can be abbreviated as c, and are also sometimes abbreviated as C. For example, 1 cup can be written as 1 c or 1 C.
