Chef'n Countertop Sprouter Growing Kit, One Size, Baking White/Wasabi/Glass

I have used mason jars fitted with screens for sprouting in the past. Last week I tried 2 different trays for sprouting, and they dry out too fast, and are more difficult to use. This jar is perfect. The seeds have a lot of surface to stick to on the glass, and received light. The hole on the bottom allows air to circulate, and the design requires no tray under it, because of how the water drips only down the sides of the glass. Easy to add water and drain, easy to see progress, clean and attractive. I bought a second one so that I could stagger the sprouting.

Update: 5th batch. Still working great.I was hesitant to buy this product because of the review that said it didn’t work for broccoli sprouts because “the seeds fall out”. Well it works just fine and none of my broccoli seeds fell out. I followed the directions and I had amazing sprouts after 4 days. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you.

Try to grow alfalfa sprouts, this contraption looks nice but funky to rinse the seeds, the seeds get stuck in the screen, and I can’t figure out how to successfully rinse the seed hulls out of the jar. Going back to my wide mouth mason jars with the various sized screen. No problem getting the hulls out, much easier

Follow your own directions on this thing, it does not seem to work as well. That or I had no so nice seeds.

I received sprout seeds for Christmas and I bought this because it looked easy to use and I don’t need a lot of sprouts at one time. ( I am the only person in my family that eats them)This has been the best product! I use it everyday. It doesn’t take up a lot of space on my counter, the strainer top is wonderful and makes it super quick and easy to rinse my sprouts. I can easily see when they are ready and there is no mess after. I just wash, rinse and add more seeds.So if you love sprouts and want a no mess easy way to grow them, then this is the product for you. Look no further!!!

I have been unable to buy broccoli sprouts in the store and I now want to make a recipe that calls for them. (Have been wanting to start eating broccoli sprouts anyway.) I was therefore forced to sprout broccoli seeds in this sprouter, having none other. Well. . . i think the onerous process is going to be successful. It is very tedious because the broccoli seeds are too small for many days before they have really started to sprout. I covered the slits with pieces of paper towel (small pieces are easier to dislodge seeds from than one large piece). With the additional help of tweezers, nutpick and a big bowl to flush the seeds into, the seeds are sprouting. Tweezers needed for seeds that regularly fall out and for seeds that stick to side of glass. Nutpick needed to fish seeds out of all the crevices in the sprouter's lid system. Big bowl needed as too many seeds fall into sink if rinsing process done over sink.Meanwhile, I have a dedicated broccoli seed sprouter on order. The item I am reviewing would be better for beans of some sort, except that it would be too small I think. My mere 1 Tbsp of sprouting broccoli seeds completely fills up the base of unit, so that any movement of the unit causes the seeds to fall out if cover taken off. (Can't recommend rinsing the recommended way for broccoli seeds because too many stick to side of glass when returning them to sprouter.)Would have been more generous in my review if manufacturer had advised buyers of what their product could not handle.

I was super excited to find this small, attractive sprouter because I've been wanting to replace my plastic sprouter for something more attractive--either clay or glass. This is perfect. I soaked the alfalfa seeds overnight and didn't notice a significant loss of seeds during the rinse process-- I did pour from the side the first couple of days as a reviewer suggested. I appreciate the design, ease of use, and the ventilation system of this sprouter. The attached photo shows sprouts from day 2 - day 4. I may be purchasing another one to get a rotation system going.

I was somewhat confused by why people would pay 100 dollars a more for a sprouting machine that you plug into the wall, or 6 dollars for a pack of pre-seeded sprouts. I assumed there must be some reason and this inexpensive device (or mason jars) were somehow less effective.I am happy to tell you that this works exactly like it says it does. In 5 days, I had FRESH sprouts with only a few minutes work per day. Now, I will be two more and have sprouts constantly.
