things people ask

• How much does a tablespoon of diced celery weigh?
  About 8.88 g for a small, even dice. A coarser chop with air gaps can drop to 7 g per tablespoon; a tight brunoise pressed level can reach 10 g. For single-serving uses — one ramekin of pimento cheese, one egg salad sandwich, one cocktail garnish — the difference is invisible, so a level tablespoon is fine without weighing.
• What recipes actually call for a tablespoon of celery?
  Egg salad and tuna salad for one or two people, a single ramekin of remoulade or tartar sauce, a cocktail muddle for a Bloody Mary or Gibson, and the small celery component of a single portion of mirepoix scaled down for a one-quart soup. It's also a common amount when adding crunch to chicken or potato salad you're making fresh for a workday lunch.
• Can I substitute celery seed or celery salt for a tablespoon of fresh celery?
  Not at equal volume — celery seed is far more concentrated. Replace one tablespoon fresh diced celery with about 1/4 teaspoon celery seed, or 1/2 teaspoon celery salt with the recipe's added salt reduced. You lose the crunch and water content, so this swap works in dressings and brines but not in salads where texture matters.
