The Handle Weight - Fermentation weights with handles. - For wide mouth mason jars 4 pack + Now with flat bottoms

We found these weights to be too light and impractical for our usage which was for making sauerkraut.They are about 50% of the weight needed to keep the shredded cabbage weighted down.Not a fan of these at all.

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.

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

I really like these little fermentation weights. Easy to use, easy to clean.

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.

This weight is cupped on the bottom. It traps air underneath itself. A weight should isolate your food from the air, by submerging it. This weight makes it impossible to do that.

Item as expected.

This work great for fermenting foods. I used mine for pickles. They keep the food under the brine fine
