Tempered Glass Fermentation Weights for Fermenting in Wide Mouth Mason Jars

Name: Tempered Glass Fermentation Weights for Fermenting in Wide Mouth Mason Jars
Brand: Mason Jar Lifestyle

$6.99 – $29.99

These heavy, tempered glass weights perfectly fit into a wide mouth Mason jar to hold your fermenting vegetables under the brine and press out any air pockets, leaving a tiny space around the edges to let out fermentation gasses.

Glass weights that are not tempered often crack in half during fermentation.

We decided these weights chipped too easily at the sharp polished edge, so we are now hand sanding each weight before sending them out. This is extremely time consuming and expensive, but we didn’t want to risk glass chips ending up in your ferments!

The highest quality fermentation weights you can buy anywhere!

Fermentation weights cannot be shipped internationally – they are too heavy and expensive to ship.

Description
Additional information

These weights were designed to be the very best on the market for fermenting in wide mouth Mason jars. They are 68.5mm (2.7 inches) in diameter and 18.5mm (.73 inches) thick. They weigh 6 ounces each (170 grams).

The weights are cut from sheets of high quality tempered soda-lime glass, the same material Mason jars themselves are made of. Most competing discs are not tempered, which is much cheaper to produce but less safe. Air bubbles and other imperfections in lower quality glass can cause it to crack or break.

If you fill your jars up to the neck, one weight will perfectly cover your ferment. You can use more than one weight if the jar isn’t completely full or if you want to displace more brine to bring the level up to the neck of the jar. With more active ferments, you might not want to fill the jar into the neck to avoid overflowing brine. Then you will probably want to use two weights.

Glass does not leach anything into your food.

Dishwasher safe, boiling water safe, oven safe, microwave safe. Avoid sudden temperature changes.

Fermentation Weights for Wide Mouth Jars

I had never used weights before and I liked what you offered and so I ordered them. I couldn’t be more happy! My Kraut, fermented radishes and fermented avocados have never been better because the weights kept them submerged!! No problem getting them out of the jar, just tilt the weight and pick it out with your fingers!! Highly recommend them!!

Perfect!

It's just what I needed to prepare small batches. Time to retire my crock. It works like a charm.

Amazingly helpful

I just made my first batch of fermented vegetables using the fermenation weights and I can’t believe how much easier the process was. I purchased the sanded version and am very pleased.

Nicely manufactured and exceptionally handy

I purchased these for making preserved lemons, and for future fermentation uses. They fit the bill nicely; perfect size, and an elegant and effective solution to keeping fermented foods covered.

love my fermentation weights

I have fermented cranberries and honey going with my weights right now! I have used these for years and just ordered a couple more so I can make enough of my fermented goodies to share. okra, dilly beans galore next year....
The ordering is easy, the shipping is fast.... I really enjoy working with this company.
