Artcome 10-Pack Glass Fermentation Weights with Easy Grip Handle and Unique Texture Design for Large Wide Mouth Mason Jars

These glass weights are perfect for pickling or fermenting. They fit snugly but easily into a widemouth canning jar. The included tongs also fit in canning jars, which is a bonus since some of the tongs I already had are too wide. The glass weights are dishwasherproof. They came in a box with plastic foam cutouts, neatly and securely packaged. I decided to keep the box since it is ideal storage when the weights are not in use.One note: The picture shows a weight being used in a straight-sided canning jar. It works well in that configuration. However, if you use a different jar, like a typical quart canning jar with wider sides, the glass weight may slip, turn sideways, and plunge to the bottom, which could crack the jar. This is not an issue if you have lots of solids in the jar, and really, any glass weight like this poses the same risk. My advice is to stick to straight-sided canning jars with these excellent weights.

I don’t write many reviews, but these deserve 5+ stars! The weights themselves are very nice and shaped to be easily removed from jars. They were packaged EXCEPTIONALLY well, the tongs and brush enclosed are very durable also. If you are thinking of buying fermentation weights, don’t look any farther, these are wonderful, you can tell by the packaging that the company cares.

Perfect size and weight for wide mouth jar. Cane with the tools you need to pull iylt out of the jar and a brush to clean where the handle meets the weight. Came with a fancy box, proper foam to keep it stored and protected from breakage. It also came with pamphlet for fermentation recipes. This was thoughtfully put together with homestead fermenter in mind. Will recommend

Perfect for making jams and leaving the product completely immersed. Very functional, and because it is made of glass it does not absorb odors or colors. Easy to use and clean. Thick glass and very good quality. Fabulous! Since we store it in the packaging it came in, it is easy to store.

These were great to weight food down for fermentation. However, they were just a little too small, which allowed some food to float to the surface. I used very standard Ball jars. It’s didn’t affect the food overall, but still may be better if they were just a touch bigger in diameter.

They are nicely weighted, fit in jars well, and work great for fermentation. They are easy to clean. I ordered a second set to be able to ferment additional vegetables.

Several years ago I purchased weights that are made from smooth glass and have a recessed moat on top (put another way - a raised lip around the edge with a raised cylinder in the center), and I hate them because I only a bare hand can grip them, because the design necessitates that they be dropped into the jar, and because only a bare hand can remove them from a jar... They are difficult messy!If you have been shopping for glass fermentation weights, you know which ones I'm talking about... Save yourself money and aggravation by purchasing these. There is no outer ring to restrict the grip of your fingers or tongs, the lower portion of the button is undercut so your fingers or tongs can actually grasp it, and the texture on the glass not only aids in your ability to grasp the weight, it also facilitates the upward movement of gasses so they can escape without disturbing the weight.

Good product- for wide mouth only.
