Bubble suppression Designed to press down on fermenting foods, these glass weights suppress surface bubbles to minimize overflow and common fermentation issues. Suitable for use with fermenting supplies and canning tools. Enhanced fermentation For wide mouth jars, these weights create an fermentation environment, supporting consistent results and enhanced quality of fermented foods. They function as a dedicated fermentation weight for wide mouth jars. Bubble management Specifically engineered to manage bubbles during fermentation, they help maintain steady brine contact and reduce disturbances that can affect outcomes. Ideal for widemouth jar fermentation applications. Wear resistant Constructed from durable glass, these weights offer wear resistance and longlasting performance for fermentation tasks involving widemouth jars and lids. Practical use scenarios Vegetables in widemouth jars: Use the weights to press down shredded cabbage or other vegetables during lactic fermentation (sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles) to keep them submerged and reduce surface bubbling. Sauces and starters: Apply the weights when fermenting sauces, relishes, or starter cultures in widemouth jars to maintain even fermentation and prevent separation or overflow. Breadrelated fermentation in jars: Employ the weights during dough or starter fermentation in jars to regulate gas formation and maintain a stable environment for consistent results.
