This set includes 9 TOPZEA pickle glass weights with convenient handles, perfect for fermenting and pickling sauerkraut, cucumbers, onions, garlic, cabbage, kimchi, hot pickles, chili sauce, and other fruits and vegetables. The quantity is sufficient to meet all your needs. A must-have glass weight for kitchen fermentation.
These heavy-duty fermentation lids have an overall size of 6.9 cm (diameter) x 2.5 cm (height), making them very practical and ideal for wide-mouth Mason jars. The weight helps compress all ingredients, keeping vegetables submerged in brine while allowing excess gas to escape without letting outside air into the jar, preventing fermented foods from being exposed to air that can cause spoilage.
The fermentation glass weights are designed with an easy-grip handle, with a knob size of approximately 1.5 cm (height) x 1.9 cm (width). Circular grooves around the knob provide ample space for easy gripping, making it simple to remove the fermentation lid, even with rough fingers, avoiding the need to fumble around to retrieve the lid during fermentation.
The pickling weights are made of high-quality glass, sturdily constructed, lead-free, transparent, durable, smooth without sharp edges or holes, easy to use, thick and not fragile, dishwasher safe, and built to last. While there are other methods for weighing down food during fermentation, this is the cleanest and most practical.
