Details

 

Keep your lacto-fermented fruits and vegetables submerged below the brine with these handy glass weights. Keeping the vegetables submerged reduces the mold and improves the flavor of the batch. Approximately round. 1 lb. bag.

Two sizes available:

  • Large Size: Nearly round and measuring approximately 2.36" (60 mm) in diameter and 7/16" thick. Fits nicely in wide-mouth style canning jars or several weights can be used in larger size jars. Each package weighs approximately 1 lb. and contains 5 to 6 glass weights. Currently unavailable.
  • Standard Size: Nearly round and measuring approximately 1.5" (40 mm) in diameter and 7/16" thick. Fits nicely in regular-mouth style canning jars or several weights can be used in larger size jars. Each package weighs approximately 1 lb. and contains 13 to 15 glass weights.

 

Please note, each weight is slightly unique in size and shape. The glass may contain bubbles. Sizes and shapes described here are approximate.

Made in China.

    • 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.

    • Is the glass lead free?
    • Lead would cause problems with cultures, the weights are lead free.
