Glass fermentation weights – ensuring perfect fermentation
These fermentation weights from Westmark are specifically designed to keep your fermented vegetables submerged beneath the brine. Each weight is made from solid glass and weighs 231 grams, providing the necessary heaviness to keep ingredients fully submerged. With a diameter of 8 cm, they are compatible with most standard fermentation jars and crocks.
Ideal for homemade kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles and other fermented foods, where it is essential to keep ingredients below the surface of the liquid.
Practical design with a focus on functionality
The fermentation weights are fitted with an ergonomic knob that makes them easy to place and remove, even with wet hands. The smooth glass surface prevents bacteria from hiding in cracks and crevices, which is essential for hygienic fermentation. The glass material is also neutral and does not affect the flavour or the fermentation process, unlike weights made from other materials.
A long-lasting investment in your fermentation hobby
These fermentation weights are tools that will last year after year. The glass withstands repeated use and can be cleaned in the dishwasher without losing its functionality. Mould growth and failed fermentations are avoided, as the weights effectively keep all ingredients below the surface of the liquid where anaerobic bacteria can work optimally. The result is flavourful, healthy fermented foods with a longer shelf life.
