Know before you buy
Glass is non-porous, which means it won't absorb odors or flavors from previous batches and is much easier to sanitize. Unlike some plastics or lower-quality ceramics, these non-iridized soda glass weights are lead-free and won't leach chemicals into your ferment.
These are specifically designed for wide-mouth canning jars, which have a 3-inch opening. They will not fit into regular-mouth jars, which are too narrow to accommodate the 2.75-inch diameter of the weight.
Yes, these weights are versatile enough to be used in ceramic crocks as long as the opening is wide enough to accommodate the 2.75-inch diameter. They are an excellent way to keep vegetables submerged if your crock didn't come with its own weights.
While they don't guarantee immunity from mold, they are highly effective at keeping your vegetables submerged beneath the brine, which is the most critical step in preventing mold. Mold typically grows on produce exposed to air, so keeping everything under the liquid line is your best defense.
These weights are dishwasher safe and can be cleaned alongside your glass jars. Because they are non-porous, they do not require special scrubbing and can be sterilized in boiling water if you prefer.
