Masontops Complete Mason Jar Fermentation Kit - Easy Wide Mouth Jars Vegetable Fermenting Set - DIY Equipment Essentials

Kit with four silicone tops, four glass followers, and a pickle packer made from acacia wood.The silicone tops are excellent and allow gasses to escape but keep dirt and contamination out. Being silicone they are easy to wash.They are made to fit Ball wide mouth jars but they also fit Ravenhead Kilner jars from the 70's, the ones with a red or orange plastic screw ring instead of metal screw rings. You can buy them on ebay or find in charity shops. Leifheit preserving jars are no good as the neck is only just wide enough for the glass follower and once inserted, you can't get it out again. Standard kilner jar openings are too small.The pickle packer included in the kit is a nice object, and very light, but I found wearing a disposable glove and using my knuckles was far more efficient when making a batch. You can get to the edges and corners better. The pickle packer is handy when I've taken some kimchi out of the jar and just want to give the remaining contents of the jar a quick squash to keep air out. It rinses clean under the tap.The glass followers are good - very hygenic, but seem to chip easily. I chipped the edge of one on first use, or it was chipped when it arrived. Eventually I will find the perfect stones to use instead but finding the right stones is not that easy even when you live in Cornwall only a couple of miles from a stoney beach. These will keep me going while I hunt.Beautifully packaged making the kit an ideal gift for a healthy foodie type.

A nice kit that brings you, almost, everything you need to get started with fermentation. Just add jars and you're good to go. All of it is of very high quality and functional to the highest degree. Can't recommend it any more.

Bought this for myself as it was cheaper than buying the individual items separately ... I did wonder if I really needed to buy a wooden 'pounder' but its proven invaluable and is of the highest quality... Its would make an excellent gift too.

Exactly was I needed for making Sauerkraut. Perfect fit for Mason wide mouth jars.

Was new to fermentation when I bought this as I was looking for an all in one solution - its been 9 months now and I have learned a lot and done a heap more research. This kit will get you in the game if you are new and already have some jars.If you are not new then I doubt you would buy this kit as you can put together your own for much less.Havingh said that - I dont begrudge the purchase as it suited me at the time and enabled me to start.If that sounds like you too, then go ahead because all the Jars I made worked, nothing went bad ( which can be dangerous) and I was thus inspired to find out more. Hope this helps.

This home kit makes it very easy to ferment small batches of vegetables at home. It comes with a wonderful book of instructions and recipes.

A complete pickle accessory kit

Fantastic product packaged well and with a booklet with fermentation recepies. I am so pleased with my purchase.

Prodotto di buona qualità. Unica pecca non aver messo le ghiere metalliche/acciaio inox per i tappi in silicone, in quanto difficile da reperire in commercio della misura compatibile.

They should clearing display what is inside your KIT. They do have "In your KIT" which we get after delivery.

Good product, as a beginner would have preferred to have jar included option .

Ceci est mon second commentaire concernant cet article. Dans le premier j'expliquais qu'il manquait une pièce et que je l'attendais. Je l'ai reçu rapidement, le service client a été très réactif. En ce qui concerne le produit, les couvercles sont parfait pour la lacto fermentation, dommage qu'ils ne s'adaptent pas à tous les types de bocaux.
