Cleanliness matters when fermenting food at home. We use these fermenting weights in our own ferments because:
- The heavy glass pickle weights are easy to sterilise
- They keep vegetable ferments safely under the brine
- They stop spoilage microbes on your hands from getting into the pickles
- The handles make them easy to retrieve from the jar
- They fit all wide mouth mason jars
Food safety also matters so we laboratory test these pickle stones to ensure they are free from lead and heavy metals and safe to use in your sauerkraut and kimchi.
We package them in a plastic-free gift box that also makes an ideal kitchen storage solution to keep your weights together.
Team up these weights with our Sauerkraut Pounder and Fermentation Lids to make a great gift set for cooks.

Got them the other day. Love them.
Use them already.
You can't see in photo. It's tomatoe salsa.
Really love my new glass weights. The fitted in my jars perfectly and kept the cabbage below the liquid for a perfect ferment. Glad I found these, easier than trying to pack the jar with something else.
Yay! No more plastic bags and wasted Himalayan salt brine. Love these weights 🥰.
Exactly right. Nice weight. Perfect. Great service too.
I was very excited to get my glass fermentation weights. I did search high and low and then I saw these online. Love them very much. At the moment they are in my preserved Lemons, preserved Mandarins, Fermented Carrots and Cauliflower jars.
Thank you so much.
You and my Glass Weights are life aka ferments/preserving saviour xoxo
