Overview
Glass Fermentation Weight with Handle 7 cm Transparent Glass For Wide-Mouthed Jars For Fermenting Vegetables and Sauerkraut

The glass fermentation weight is a practical aid for anyone who ferments vegetables, sauerkraut, cucumbers, or kimchi at home. The weight, with a diameter of 7 cm, is placed directly into the jar on top of the vegetables, gently pressing them below the surface of the brine. This keeps the vegetables submerged and prevents them from coming into contact with air, which is important for lactic fermentation. The weight is made from transparent glass, allowing you to monitor the fermentation process through it. It is suitable for standard wide-mouthed jars.

On the top side, there is a small glass handle, making it easy to grip and remove the weight from the jar without having to reach your fingers into the brine. The disc itself has a height of 2 cm, and the handle adds another 1.5 cm, so the weight takes up little space in the jar and leaves enough room above the vegetables. The smooth surface of the glass is easy to clean after use and clearly indicates whether it is clean. The material is food-safe. You can use the weight in jars of various sizes, from smaller to larger fermentation jars, as long as they have a wide mouth. It is also suitable for pickling cucumbers in brine or preparing fermented sauces where it is necessary to keep solid pieces of vegetables submerged.

Before first use, wash the weight in warm water with a little detergent and rinse thoroughly. First, pack the vegetables in the jar, cover with brine, and place the weight on top to ensure all the vegetables remain submerged. Then close the jar with a fermentation lid or simply cover it loosely. After fermentation is complete, remove the weight by the handle, wash it, and let it dry. Handle the glass with care and protect it from falling on hard surfaces.

The glass fermentation weight is a simple accessory that facilitates home fermentation and helps keep the vegetables submerged in brine throughout the maturation process. With a diameter of 7 cm, it is suitable for wide-mouthed jars, and the handle on top simplifies handling. The smooth transparent glass is easy to clean and allows you to see the vegetables in the jar. You will find the weight useful when preparing sauerkraut, cucumbers, carrots, beets, and spicy vegetable mixes. The package contains 1 piece, so for more jars, you can order the corresponding number of weights.
