Switched to weighing my salt for pickling brine last year and my cucumbers went from soggy to perfect every single time.

Oh wow, that totally makes sense. I read that salt volume can vary a ton by brand and grind. Weighing it gives you the exact same salinity every time, which is key for the right crunch. No more guesswork.

Exactly, that's the whole point right there. I used to just grab a pinch for my pickles and they'd come out way too salty one week and bland the next. After I started weighing, like you said @tara700, it's perfect every single time. The texture is totally different when the salt is right. It's not even about being fancy, it just makes the whole process way less frustrating.
