Weck Glass Lid/Dunking Weight
Weck Glass Lids/Weights :
Weck glass jar lids are the only preserving lids in the world that can be reused thousands of times. Suitable for water bath, and pressure canning.
You can use these glass lids for weighting down food when culturing/fermenting as the glass is reaction free. Use one or more Weck glass weights to keep your veggies submerged under the brine. Or remove the fermenting lid when your ferment is ready to go in the fridge and replace with a Weck glass lid.
These weights are actually Weck reusable Glass Lids. Made of the highest quality glass, they contain NO BPA (Bisphenol A), lead, mercury or cadmium.
Lids come in 3 sizes: small, medium and large. Small = 70mm/ 2 3/8", Medium = 90mm / 3 1/8", Large = 110mm / 3 7/8 "
Weights For Weck Fermenting Jars, Choose the medium Weck weight for the 1L Cylinder and1L Tulip (tight fit) and 1.750L Tulip Weck jars. Unfortunately the medium lid will not fit into the mouth of the 2.5L Tulip shaped Weck jars - choose a heavier, handmade ceramic weight for this jar.
Note:if you are fermenting very liquid foods, the weight will sink unless there is sufficient food mass in the jar to hold it up.
