Year of Plenty Fermentation Weights - NonSlip Grip Handle - for Fermenting Sauerkraut, Pickles, Kimchi in Wide Mouth Mason Jars - Lead/Cadmium Free - (Set of 4)

These fermentation weights are beautiful and most importantly, they are lead-free and cadmium free. They arrive neatly packaged in a sturdy box. The handle on top is super easy to grab too.

One of the first things you learn when fermenting is that whatever you are making needs to stay below the bring in your fermentation vessel. So, these weights are an essential piece of your kit for success. Durability and thickness are fantastic, with a good weight that keeps just about anything submerged in a wide mouth mason jar. Because they are glass, then don’t retain any smells, they’re easy to clean, and serve their intended purpose perfectly. The size is optimal for a Ball style wide-mouth mason jar. I use these all the time and love them!

I used these fermentation weights to make sauerkraut and had excellent results. They kept the cabbage fully submerged, prevented mold, and were easy to handle and clean. A simple tool that makes fermentation more reliable—I highly recommend them.

Perfect for making tinctures and fermenting. Easy to remove from jars. Wonderful product! Very happy.

These are easy to clean and do their job well. However, they are a pain to remove. I wish the top had a knob shape so you could pull them out easier. I have to use a pair of tongs and grab them on the top and bottom to pull them out sideways. The center grip only works if it stays dry; if it’s wet, it’s super slippery and near impossible to grab out of a jar.

So far this is great and Exactly as advertised. Made of thick durable glass, one of the 4 even dropped about a foot with no crack or chip on the way to the dishwasher for an easy high-temp clean before use. Fit great inside multiple fermentation jars and did Exactly the job it's intended for, allowing bubbles to escape and keeping the vegetables beneath the surface of the brine. Another round in the dishwasher for 2 of them after 2 of the jars were emptied (along with the glass jars and lids themselves) and they're back in the original padded box until the next pickle/fermentation project. Very pleased with this, saves time and cleaning when you don't need to keep adding brine to the very brim of the jar to keep everything submerged and much less fizzing and spillage from bubbling fermentation 😉 Excellent Product - and the shipping was fast and efficient, as well (but so far through Amazon I've yet to be disappointed in that regard... 👍)

As relief printmaker I need a smooth, heavy and easy to hold weight for my smaller handmade prints. This is an important and not expensive tool. Since I am also a teacher, I can also use these in my workshops. Definitely a quality product, whatever you use it for. I would buy a larger one, as well, if it was available.

Worked really well! Highly recommend

Muy practico para que no se formen mohos en los fermentados.

These weights works amazing. Easy to clean, perfect weight, fits perfect! Great product!

They have a really good weight to them, keeps everything under the brine and easy to remove remove the weights from the jar because of the little handle on them. I definitely would buy these again :)
