These weights were developed to keep the vegetables below the brine in the jar, which is really one of the only cause of possible failure when using lacto fermenting preserving methods. They are made of non iridized lead free soda-lime glass. Glass is known to be one of the most inert substances and should not leach chemicals into your Ferment. These fermenting weights are not meant to be heated in any way. Size 2 3/4” wide and about 9/10" thick to fit a wide mouth canning jar. I have used these weights while I was fermenting, and everything turned out great. The bottom of the weights are indented. Review: I totally like these fermentation weights - I totally like these fermentation weights. Word of caution. Don't put a room temp weight in hot water. I cracked one. If you want to sanitize a weight put it in pot of cool water and heat water & weightup at same time. Duh. The Handle Weight - Fermentation weights with handles - For wide mouth mason jars 4 pack up at same time. Duh. Review: Great fermentation weights! - On my third batch of homemade sauerkraut and these glass weights worked very well keeping the veggies below brine. The ribbed handle/knob is also very easy to grasp and removed when the batch is finished. Highly recommended.

Nice
Easy to use and very efficient. Use only straight sided sides. Not to be used in jars that have any flared sides

Great
These are great for what they are intended for. It holds whatever you are fermenting down. Heavy glass and easy cleanup.

Poor Design
The bottom of this pickle weight is cup shaped and will hold air. I believe it would be difficult to burp and clear the air pocket above the food as apposed to one of a solid design that will hold the food below the surface.

Works!
Simple solution for your fermentation. I love and use it all the time.

Giant air bubble! Slippery when wet!
The rim around the underside holds an air bubble under the weight. I thought that by tipping in the weight I could let the bubble escape, but it would have to go in vertically. I’ll look at the other reviews again to see if anyone has figured out how to handle this, but I expect these are going straight back.
