Glass Fermentation Weights Set for Jars, Heavy Glass Fermentation Weight with Grooved Handles, Includes 4 Fermenting Weights for Wide Mouth Mason Jar

This is an excellent product, extremely well made, heavy, with a glass handle that is easy to grasp and hold. The four lids all fit into the wide mouth mason jars perfectly. they are easy to place into the jars and easy to remove. The glass handles are part of the lid, and are smooth, well made and easy to grasp and hold while putting them into the mason jars or removing them from the jars. Their weight is very good. They hold down the vegetables to be fermented down under the liquid being used. There is no escaping vegetable to rise above the weight or the liquid and turn brown or other colors and look unappetizing. I don't know why I am not already using them. I have some old vintage weights to hold down foods to be fermented and like them. I like these fermenting weights-lids better. They have handles that are part of the weight, are made to be used in wide mouth mason jars., you can watch the fermenting process under the weights, and they are easy to clean and are ready for reuse quickly. I really really do like this set of fermenting lids. if you are serious about your fermenting, I suggest most highly that you order this set. Or order two or three of them depending on your fermenting needs. A Most Excellent Product.

These are nice weights, smoothly finished and easy to hold onto. They are for wide mouth jars, and are about the size of the outside edge of a regular mouth jar (which means they are large enough not to “kind of” fit and get stuck, unlike a previous set I tried). You don’t need these to start fermenting, but they are a nice upgrade.(I saw another reviewer say she was using them for sewing. She’s brilliant, these would be excellent pattern weights).

I have a set of 200 gram fermenting weights with a recessed grip, but they can sometimes be difficult to grab when removing. I thought I would try these to see if the knob made it any easier to grab. The good news is that these are somewhat easier to grab on to, but I don't think the difference justifies the price. These 4 weights are currently priced at about $3.75 each. By contrast, the weights that I had with the recessed grip were about $2.43 each. Also, the knob takes up space in the jar, so you'll have to allow for more room in order to tighten the lid.In conclusion, these are good weights for those who prefer the knob. However, I would recommend shopping other listings before purchase.

I can't express how happy I am to have these weighted lids for lacto-ferments. These weights are solid and constructed nicely. They have a discernable weight to them that makes them function effectively in keeping your veggies and food items down in the brine. There are no negatives that I can list about these, so I will be upfront on this. The weights are glass and come with an attached handle that allows removing them from a mason jar very easy. These four will comfortably and easily fit into a wide mouth mason jar which makes fermenting a smooth process. Can't go wrong with these. I will certainly be buying more.

A fellow member of a sewing group that I’m in suggested using these tops as weights for fabric. I’m blown away by the quality of these fermentation lids! They’re beautiful, well made, and excellent quality. They have a decent amount of weight to them and are easy to use and store. With the weight, I’m confident that they would be perfect for canning as well! Excellent valued product!

These are fabulous! I bought them for brewing and they're great. a wonderful weight, and so smooth and easy to clean! They're especially good for taking up headspace in a carboy, but I bet they'd be amazing for vegetable or fruit ferments.

I do a lot of vacuum bag fermentations, as well as mason jar fermentation. For the mason jar type of fermentation, it is much easier to hold down your fermented product under brine with glass weights. These are really nice glass weights. They have an easy-to-grab handle and lots of heft, which is ideal. This four pack is a fermenter's dream! Highly recommended, especially for Amazon's low listed selling price.

I ordered these to try my hand at fermenting vegetables. They fit perfectly in the wide-mouth jars and do not have any creases to make them hard to fit. They are just the right weight for the fermenting process. Overall, for the price, this is a great set!
