Artcome4-Pack Glass Fermentation Weights with Easy Grip Handle and Unique Texture Design for Large Wide Mouth Mason Jars

I do like using the weights when I am making kraut! 😊 I have some from another company, I like those also but they do not have the easy grip knob on them like these do , which makes it easier to get hold of and pull out of the jar. I am thinking about buying another pack of 4!!! 😊 I was ok with the price too.

These fermentation weights are really nice. They are well-made and very heavy. The little handle at the top makes them easy to remove. They are easy to clean also. The included recipe book was a huge bonus, as I've been looking for some new recipes. I can't wait to try the Rhubarb Lime Ginger Kraut recipe. I highly recommend these. They are a great value for the price.

can be used with mason jars and these are actually really great in the summertime when you’re entertaining some people. they don’t have to keep unscrewing and re-screwing the lid on the jar you can just have this weight in there to keep bugs out.i will be using one as a paperweight for the napkins on the picnic table.very nice quality of glass.looks very classy.

Ich darf diese Gärgewichte im Rahmen eines Vine-Produkttests ausprobieren. Die Tatsache, dass ich sie kostenlos erhalten habe, hat keinerlei Einfluss auf meine Bewertung.Ich fermentiere gerne meine selbst geernteten Gemüse. Hierzu brauche ich natürlich auch Gärgewichte, bisher hatte ich Scheiben aus einer Art Ton, die ein Loch in der Mitte hatten.Leider haben sich diese oft verfärbt (zum Beispiel, wenn Rote Bete im Glas waren), und es ist auch nicht besonders einfach, diese durch das Loch herauszufischen.Diese Glasgewichte können nicht nur nicht verfärben und sind wesentlich einfacher zu reinigen, da sie nicht porös sind, sie sind auch einfach zu handhaben, da sie einen Griff haben.Absolut empfehlenswert!

I ordered these for weighing down foods that I'm pickling: sauerkraut, pickled beetroot, dill pickles etc. They fit perfectly into my jars, and hold the veggies down under the pickling fluid very effectively. With the knob on the top, they are easier to use than my other weights which are just flat top and can be a bit awkward to fish out. The flip side of that is that they take more space in the jar, but for me that's preferable. They're nicely made and the textured finish is attractive without hindering adequate cleaning. Really pleased with these, and the price (£13.99 for four) compares well with others. recommended!

Schöne Gärgewichte die sich durch die Form des Griffes gut greifen lassen. Erst dachte ich, dass der Durchmesser etwas zu klein ist, um das Gärgut in meinem 1.5L Glas zuverlässig unter der Salzlake zu halten, aber mit einem Kohlblatt abgedeckt bleibt mein Kimchi brav unter der Lake. Die Gewichte kommen gut verpackt an und sind schön schwer.

I've already got two sets of glass fermentation weights that I got from Amazon. I use them for fermenting and pickling. Both sets I've got are different styles. I ordered these ones to see how they compare.The thing that's good about these compared to my others is that they have a knob on top that is easier to hold/grab. My other two sets have knobs but they aren't as raised as these so aren't as easy to grab/hold. They can slip out of your hands easier if your hands are wet etc.The downside to the knobs on these ones is that it means that you need more clearance space at the top of your jar to accommodate the knob as they are higher than my other ones. It means you would have to put less food content in the jar.The glass has a nice pattern on these. Unfortunately, one of my weights has got a manufacturing defect in it. It's got a deep scratch/crack on it. It might be from the moulds they use to make them. This shows poor quality control.I have a pair of Volila fermentation jars and they fit perfectly in them. They also fit in my Kilner preserving jars and my Kilner clip top ones. They also fit in some other glass jars I've got. They fit in wide mouth jars.The current cost of these Volila ones is £13.99 for four. My other two sets were cheaper than these. Just depends on if you want the easy-to-grip knobs on top. 😊
