Product Description
Tempering glass is expensive, but we think it's worth it. We have seen many glass fermentation weights that had air bubbles crack while in use.
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. Mason jars themselves are made of untempered soda lime glass.
Most competing discs are not tempered, which is much cheaper to produce but less safe. Air bubbles and other imperfections in lower quality glass cause them to crack during use.
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.

First, it is a beautiful little thing! Second, thhough I have not yet used it, I have gotten the supplies (cabbage) to do so!
I bought the Tempered Glass Fermentation Weights to hold down my sewing patterns while cutting them out. They don't chip, you can see pattern markings them, and they are easy to pick up and move. They are an excellent tool that I will be using a lot.
I am using the weights with my sewing. I put them on my patterns to be cut out in stead of pinning
I've never tried fermentation before. This will be my first year. I can hardly wait. Just got my weights in last week, they are awesome. Now ready to start the garden.
My husband loves to ferment things and we had a bumper crop of cucumbers this year. They came in time for our next batch. He really liked them.
