Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Nine weights in one set, so several wide mouth jars can each get their own weight without buying extras.
  • + Each weight is listed at about 7 oz and 2-3/4 inches across, sized to sit inside a wide mouth jar opening.
  • + Grooved handle makes it easier to lift the weight in and out of the jar, and the listing says it is dishwasher cleanable.

Trade-offs

  • - Nine pieces is more than a single-jar household needs, and it only fits wide mouth jars, not regular mouth.
  • - Glass weights do not come with lids or airlocks, so you still need a separate jar cover.
