Fermentation Weights and Smasher Combo - Sauer Stones Glass Fermentation Weights and Sauer Stick Kraut Smasher - FOR WIDE MOUTH MASON JARS

My mother purchased this a few month earlier for making fermented cabbage. I loved how it was useful when trying to condense the cabbage and glass weights that keep cabbage from floating up. This is a good purchase. If you love fermentation a needed accessories this is :)

The weights were heavy enough for my recipe. Perfect for what I was making.

The first weight chipped while in the jar, I had to compost the batch of pickles or risk eating glass shards. The smasher was fine but not something I would go out of my way to purchase. It seems to be too late to return the glass weights for a refund. I would not buy anything from this company in the future because of the faulty glass quality. Updated to add: the company contacted me to offer a refund or replacement. I accepted a partial refund since I kept the wood smasher. So they stand behind their product.

These weights are perfect and work well.

Perfect for what you need.

I used them to make some fermented onions, zucchini and tomatoes and they turned out excellently. i am well pleased with them!

I just got my new ‘Sauer Stones’. No where in the listing does it say “Do not heat. Do not boil. Do not freeze. Avoid temperature changes.” like it does in BIG letters on the side of the box (the side not in the photo). Lucky me they don’t say “keep dry”?! You know people have been annealling/tempering glass for a long time . . .anchor hocking, purex for example . . .and I expected glass discs just a little more durable than what they have sold me. There are a LOT of weights like these available, and if the listing were honest, I would have purchased another brand instead.

Love these! Made some sourkraut and used these to hold the kraut under the brine.Love the smasher too!

Nice glass weights for making krut.

It is made from one solid piece of wood. It looks good quality and I'm looking forward to making some sauerkraut with it.
