Artcome Glass Fermentation Weights 10-Pack for Large Wide-Mouth Mason Jars — Tempered Glass, Raised Handle Kit

Artcome 10-Pack Glass Fermentation Weights are heavy, textured disk weights with raised handles that keep produce submerged in large wide-mouth mason jars for reliable lacto-fermentation.

These glass weights are a complete kit for home fermenters who use wide-mouth jars. The set includes ten tempered glass disks sized to sit flush in large mason jars, a pair of silicone tongs for safe handling, a jar-cleaning brush, and a small recipe booklet to get you started. Each weight features a unique textured surface and a raised handle designed for grip—helpful when managing brine and minimizing splashes during transfers.

How do these weights keep vegetables submerged during fermentation?

The weights press down produce so it stays below the brine, reducing exposure to air and minimizing surface scum. Their size and weight were chosen to fit large wide-mouth jars and apply steady pressure without cracking glass.

• Approximately 180–200 g per weight for consistent pressure
• 2.75" x 2.75" x 1.37" dimensions suited for wide-mouth jars
• Flat, textured base helps distribute weight evenly over vegetables

What makes the handle and texture useful for everyday use?

The raised handle gives a simple, secure grip so you can lower and lift weights without submerging your hand. The textured design increases contact with produce to prevent slipping and helps hold small pieces in place under brine.

• Raised handle for controlled placement and removal
• Textured surface for better grip on vegetables and kraut
• Silicone tongs included to reduce brine splashes when handling

Are these weights durable and easy to care for?

Made from corrosion-resistant tempered glass, each piece is designed to withstand repeated use with vinegar and salt brines. Cleaning is straightforward: the included jar brush helps reach around the handle and you can also use standard dishwashers when appropriate.

• Tempered glass resists staining and corrosion
• Dishwasher-safe components reduce maintenance time
• Includes brush to clean crevices and the jar mouth

What else comes in the kit and how does it help beginners?

The package arrives ready-to-use with tools and guidance so you can start fermenting right away. The recipe booklet offers simple, approachable methods for sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, and other ferments aimed at everyday kitchens.

• 10 glass weights so multiple jars or batch sizes are supported
• Silicone tongs for safe, splash-free placement and removal
• Jar-cleaning brush and recipe booklet included for convenience

Who is this for? Home fermenters who work mainly with large wide-mouth mason jars and want a reliable, easy-to-handle solution to keep produce submerged will find this Artcome kit useful. It’s suited for people starting with basic vegetable ferments and for experienced makers who need multiple weights for batch work or to fit different jar setups. The durable glass and included tools make it a practical addition to any kitchen dedicated to pickling and lacto-fermentation.
