Fermentation weight. Heavy glass fermenting weights with handles for wide mouth Mason jars. Canning supplies. Great for fermenting vegetables and probiotic food.Dishwasher safe

Purchased these 2 years ago and I'm still happy with my purchase. Looking to buy more actually. I just wish they came in a regular mouth version. None of them have broken and they wash easily in dishwasher and yes I'm boiled them to sanitize before. They're heavy and live up to their name. They can be a bit difficult to grab so I wish it was a knob style top instead, but other than that I have no issues. I recommend.

Kimchee and sauerkraut plus beet pickles all stayed under liquid.

Nice and heavy. Great grip. I’d buy more.

The most frequent criticism I hear of glass fermentation weights is that they are hard to remove. There are different designs with handles and so forth, but I believe they are all slippery and somewhat hard to hold on to once they are in the jar. However, if one is prepared for that, it is a simple matter to tip the weight to get a good grip. Then it is a simple matter. This design has handles, as most do, but they are not sufficient for a good grip, but no matter. I doubt other handle designs are better because of the way the glass must be molded during manufacture. These are good enough for me provided there is room in the jar to tip them enough to get a good hold. Even then they are slippery, but not too slippery.

I have been fermenting sauerkraut in wide mouth mason jars for awhile. I've been used household objects like Chinese tea cups as fermentation weights. That worked but they were too light I thought there would be something better. After looking online for awhile I discovered these weights. They came in a pack of 7 which I thought were more than I needed but I found quickly that 7 was just right for my needs. I found these to be easy to grip when I remove them from the jar than I expected. I use my fingers and not tongs. They are very easy to wash and I store them in the box they came in. I would definitely buy them again if I need more.

These weights are nice, but the jar needs to be really full. If you're doing a small-batch ferment the smooth, inner-sloping shape of the "grip" makes it slick and almost impossible to pull back up.

These glass weights are the perfect addition to your fermenting kit. I ferment in several sizes, and these weights worked in every size I used, right up to half gallon! I turned the jars daily, and the bubbles rose right up around the weights. I never had to use the pump thing. Ever.

I use the weights in a wide mouth canning jar to ferment sauerkraut. What I like is that when the sauerkraut packs and diminishes over time you can add more weights to keep the sauerkraut submerged under the brine. A common complaint is that the weights are slippery, especially when wet. I found that you can retrieve the weights, even under water or brine, with an ordinary paper towel. I'm not sure about other liquids. If you are having trouble with the weights when dry, use a paper towel or surgical glove. I would definitely recommend the product.

As described and arrived on time

Je me suis trompé dans la commande, je croyais que c'était pour embouchure régulière alors que c'est large. J'en avais déjà, donc je ne m'en servirai pas. Par contre ils sont moins chers que ceux que j'avais acheté avant.

What can I say? They’re glass weights. The great thing for me is they fit 3 side by side in my gallon jar while fermenting chillis or sauerkraut.

This glass weight is perfect for fermenting garlic, fits most standard jars.

These work perfect!
