Cleanliness matters when fermenting food at home. We use these fermenting weights in our own ferments because:
- The heavy glass pickle weights are easy to sterilise
- They keep vegetable ferments safely under the brine
- They stop spoilage microbes on your hands from getting into the pickles
- The handles make them easy to retrieve from the jar
- They fit all wide mouth mason jars
Food safety also matters so we laboratory test these pickle stones to ensure they are free from lead and heavy metals and safe to use in your sauerkraut and kimchi.
We package them in a plastic-free gift box that also makes an ideal kitchen storage solution to keep your weights together.
Team up these weights with our Sauerkraut Pounder and Fermentation Lids to make a great gift set for cooks.
