Know before you buy
A 1-pint jar is perfectly sized for maintaining a small, active starter without requiring large amounts of flour and water for feedings. This minimizes waste, making it an excellent choice for bakers who don't bake daily or prefer to keep a smaller, more manageable culture.
The bamboo lid is designed to be breathable rather than airtight. This allows for the necessary gas exchange required during the fermentation process while keeping dust and debris out of your starter.
The adjustable band allows you to manually track when you last fed your starter or when it was at its peak activity. It serves as a simple visual reminder, which is especially helpful if you have a busy schedule or keep your starter in the refrigerator.
While specifically designed for sourdough, the glass construction and breathable lid make it suitable for other small-batch ferments like quick pickles or cultured vegetables. However, ensure the jar is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between different types of ferments.
Yes, the measurement markings are integrated into the glass design. They are durable and will not wash off, allowing you to accurately track the growth and volume of your starter after every feeding.
