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.

Glass weights worked great for fermenting homemade sour kraut.
They came nicely packaged and ready for use. They are perfect for weighing down product for fermentation.
Excellent Choice of fermentation glass weight ,the only issue would be getting them out of the box , then reusing the box to store when not in use , the box needs to be bigger .Great Tempered Fermentation weights
I haven’t used this yet, but I do like it very much. Shipped promptly arrived quickly.
I have only had these weights for a few weeks and I do long fermentations but by all appearances they work very well. They are a bit heavier and perhaps a bit wider than competing weights which is good and they fit nice and tight into a 24 ounce straight sided mason jar, which is also good. They are prettier than competing weights for whatever that is worth. The only downside is the significantly higher cost but I might still spring for them anyway.
I have wanted one of these for a while and so happy to have found one. I plan on making better pickles since I now have this!
Already put them to use. Love them.
I wish I would have bought more than one pack. These are excellent.
I just got my box. I havent tried anything but iblooked at everything and canr waite tonuse each product. . Especially the grinder for dry herbs.
Hard to get out of jar. Needs some way to grab it from the top. I won't be purchasing this style of weight again.
Worked well. Hard to get out of jar since they are flat but good weight. Price is reasonable
Perfect for my sauerkraut. I'm new to fermenting and was so pleased to find these weights. Excellent price shipping and customer service.
I am happy with these glass weights. These are my first set of weights and I chose these because they looked like a quality item made out of good glass. They are quite thick and easily fit through the mouth of the jar. I purchased a second set after receiving the first set.
Super nice glass weight for fermenting.
Bout to get to the first ferment this evening. Good sturdy quality products. I wish the weight had a handle but it nice and solid.
Great for a single old guy that doesn't like using my crocks for this chore
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.
My experience with Mason Jar Lifestyle has been "hands down" - exceptional. The products I ordered and received were of top quality and the customer service is exceptional. I give them a 5-Star vote to do business with!
I would love to try this product and I’m waiting for you to re-supply. When might this happen?
I bought these to weigh down my fermentations in Fido jars. The diameter is the perfect size; I can get my fingers in the jar to easily lift it out. They are nice and heavy. I do wish they were made in the US instead of China but the company states they do hand sand the edges. They are very nice and I would buy again.
I bought the fermenting lids & rings, and the weights. I love kimchi but it's a long drive from our home 'out in the boonies' to the nearest Oriental store so I started making kimchi at home about five years ago.
Most often my fermented foods were OK but not great -- because I wasn't keeping the leaves pressed down enough & fermentation was incomplete.
These glass weights fixed that issue right away! And the soft plastic valve tops kept the gas balance just right...both batches I've made since getting the items are at least 100% tastier than any I've made before.
I’m using them to weigh down my sauerkraut:-) they are awesome…
This a second order and I have them working with the silicone fermentation airlock value lid - yum!
Great, works as expected. Quick ship.
They work great
