Masontops Pickle Pebble Glass Fermenting Weights - Pickling Fermentation Weight Set - Small Mouth Size For Mason Jar Fermentation Kit

Works as should! Love them for making sauerkraut!

My wife is very happy with the small-mouth weights. They appear well made and were delivered on time as expected.

As long as your jar is full or nearly full, these work well. I used them with a 1-quart wide-mouth jar with cucumber spears that did not fill out the container, and the weight wanted to slip sideways and let a few spears pop up. So I’ll be sure to cut enough product to fill the jar all the way across from here on.

Needed when pickling.

Bueno

I was lucky to pick the perfect weights I'm using for fermenting. The cabbage leaf barely worked. I needed real weights. I have used the wide mouth weight and it fits perfectly and weight is just right. The smooth, solid design top bottom and sides makes it so pieces of vege don't stick to it easily. PLUS you REALLY get 4 regular mouth weights and 4 wide mouth weights. The small are hard to find!!

5 stars because there is no reason to not give five stars. They are glass discs. If I had to pick a flaw and take off a half star, it would be that they are not exactly as the description size indicates...but this is being "extremely" critical and picky to do, because these are also described as "handmade". They look like it too, which in a way is kinda cool. They are described as: Dimensions: 2 3/4 " Diameter x 3/4 " Thick x 6 Ounces (170 grams) But only one of four was closest to this and it was 6 ounces (my scale is pretty accurate), a heavy 11/16" and just under 2 3/4". Two others weighed at 5.6 ounces and measured a little smaller, and one is 5.3 ounces-2 11/16" dia. and closer to 5/8" thickness. If I had to complain, it would be than none were bigger than described...only smaller. Now, I am a very technical person and a metal fabricator by trade; so the reality is the average Harry and Harriet the Homeowner cant even measure things that accurately and can hardly make out 1/16" in measurements...so I report this more for "fun" than anything. They appear to be "fired" or molded as the discs they are, rather than cut from a plate of glass which gives them a cool "imperfect" look. At first I thought these were extremely expensive for just glass discs, until I shopped in my area to get them or have them made or cut for me. I was wrong, these are not nearly as easy to find as you would think. There is little competition right now for these because the average person would never think of such a thing. If the idea ever caught on, prices may come down but I dont think the vast majority of people are fermenting or high-thinking enough to want something like this for culinary weighting. I haven't checked these for jar fit yet...guess I should have. My first use was to weigh down a bowl full of potato peels in water to keep them for days in the fridge submerged before I was ready to fry them as a side dish (they were delicious). I used all 4 in a bowl and they worked perfectly. If I have any jar problems I'll report back. What came to mind for me is, I pickle stuff, and I was making pickled eggs. If your jar is not packed full and tight, and even if it is, there is that pesky egg or other food you are pickling that wants to float up to the air at the top. These little gems take care of that, they are nice and clear (albeit not perfectly optically clear) and very easy to clean. We even ran them through the dishwasher and they came out just fine.

You cant go wrong with Mason tops Pickle pebbles.. they are made from the same glass that Ball Jars are. Thats important as some out there are not completely round and who knows whats in the glass.

Prima pickle stenen en passen goed in de mason mariposa.

Item exactly as described

Excellent. Very useful product.

Perfetti per tenere a mollo

I bought this as a gift to a friend for Christmas. I got to know only now, by coincidence, that the package was missing 1 piece. I understand that this may be a mistake in production or return from another customer, either way it felt bad, especially considering that it was a gift 😞
