Glass Fermentation Weights for Wide Mouth Mason Jars - Set of 4, Easy Lift Handles - for Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Pickles & Kombucha

Country Trading Co.'s gift-boxed set of 4 glass fermentation weights for wide mouth mason jars, with wide lift handles for getting them in and out of a packed jar.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Wide handles are made for lifting, so there is no fishing a flat disc out of the brine with your fingers.
  • + Smooth glass that the listing describes as easy to clean before lactic ferments such as kraut and kimchi.
  • + Described as heavier than lighter discs, to keep an active ferment under the brine.

Trade-offs

  • - The listing gives no diameter or weight figures, so fit in a specific jar cannot be checked ahead of time.
  • - Four weights for wide mouth jars only, at a slightly higher price than the budget 4 packs.

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
