  • Hi there. I'm wondering: when you say the large sized ones fit wide-mouthed canning jars, do you mean Mason Jars? If so, I'd love to order some, so the second question it... do you have them in stock?
    
    A third question would be, if you have the airlock lids for mason jars, do you need the weights?
    
    Thanks.

  • Mason and Ball are the two most common brands of canning jars, and these weights will fit their wide-mouth jars, as well as any other standard wide-mouth jar.
    
    At the time of this writing, the large sized ones are in stock; the current status will be listed on the product ordering page.
    
    The weights are a method for keeping the vegetables submerged under the brine, which is necessary even if you have an airlock lid.
