As relief printmaker I need a smooth, heavy and easy to hold weight for my smaller handmade prints. This is an important and not expensive tool. Since I am also a teacher, I can also use these in my workshops. Definitely a quality product, whatever you use it for. I would buy a larger one, as well, if it was available.

It's remarkable how something so simple as a sauerkraut weight could get things right in so many ways. They are heavy, robust, perfectly sized and proportioned for quart-sized Ball wide-mouthed canning jars. They are smooth and shiny. I love the way that they catch tiny bits of moisture as you press them into the jar, keeping it from overflowing the jar. They the perfect height and they are easy to remove. I would not make kimchee or sauerkraut without them.They might be slightly better if there were a red or black bubble inside the handle to help one notice them; they disappear a little too readily. Mine have come perilously close to being flung onto the floor or slipping down the garbage disposal because of it. But this is a quibble.

So far this is great and Exactly as advertised. Made of thick durable glass, one of the 4 even dropped about a foot with no crack or chip on the way to the dishwasher for an easy high-temp clean before use. Fit great inside multiple fermentation jars and did Exactly the job it's intended for, allowing bubbles to escape and keeping the vegetables beneath the surface of the brine. Another round in the dishwasher for 2 of them after 2 of the jars were emptied (along with the glass jars and lids themselves) and they're back in the original padded box until the next pickle/fermentation project. Very pleased with this, saves time and cleaning when you don't need to keep adding brine to the very brim of the jar to keep everything submerged and much less fizzing and spillage from bubbling fermentation 😉Excellent Product - and the shipping was fast and efficient, as well (but so far through Amazon I've yet to be disappointed in that regard... ðŸ‘)

I use these to ferment sauerkraut. Works like a dream and washes so well. No residual smell.

These are easy to clean and do their job well. However, they are a pain to remove. I wish the top had a knob shape so you could pull them out easier. I have to use a pair of tongs and grab them on the top and bottom to pull them out sideways. The center grip only works if it stays dry; if it’s wet, it’s super slippery and near impossible to grab out of a jar.

The built in handles were pretty slippery when I first tried them on the counter top but they didn't slip at all once I had them in the jars. The handles have vertical grooves in them for grip. They aren't real heavy but work good and at 1" thick I wouldn't want them any thicker. I did have to leave extra head room in the jars to account for expansion of the cabbage; I actually had to take a little of the juice out after a day because they were overflowing. They are perfect for carrots. I haven't done mixed vegies yet but they will work great for those too.

When received I notice they were packaged very well. The box is heavy duty (thick). Each weight was held in place in foam and it also came with instructions on making different things. The glass weights are quality and I found no air bubbles in the glass weights as you would in cheap glass. Weights have handles so you can easily grab them. Once the weights have been used cleaned and dry you can store them back in the box it came in. If you buy more than one set then the boxes can be stacked. These are worth the money I paid and I recommend them. They are as described in the listing.

Très bon matos qui est redoutablement efficace pour les lacto-fermentations avec les bocaux "Le parfait". Le petit plus qui fait toute la différence et qui le rend ultra efficace c'est bien sûr sa poignée antidérapante.

Muy practico para que no se formen mohos en los fermentados.

They have a really good weight to them, keeps everything under the brine and easy to remove remove the weights from the jar because of the little handle on them. I definitely would buy these again :)
