There is nothing but clear glass on them. Lead should not be contained in these products.
The size looks to be two and one half inches but extremely close to the 2 5/8 inch mark.
It says on the box that my product is made of "high quality lead free, mold free, and BPA free pure soda glass.".
These are not the same things. There is an indication on the box that it was made

It is heavy enough to hold all my fermentation projects below the brine level and fits perfectly into my jars. It is also relatively easy to remove them from jars (the fit is snug but not cumbersome or uncomfortable- I think that's a bit This number was also pleasing to me (most out there seem to be 4-digit The number of packs is insufficient I love this pack, and I find the price to be extremely competitive (similar to the 4-pack) Packs of cards, but twice as many as usual).
Weighing the food down is a generally good way to keep food in brine, but when they become wet, removing them can be a challenge. Whenever I remove the weight of a wet object, which is almost always the case, I push down on one side until I get the weight firmly in place, then remove the weight with a set of tongs with coated ends. When I have to remove a container, I prefer ones that do not have a recessed handle, but are above the weight rather than below it. You pay a small price for such a small convenience but can save a lot of time and effort while fermenting.
The weights I own are great. As long as the food is submerged during fermentation, it is safe to put in jars. Easy to remove and easy to clean in the dishwasher, I find that they are easy to grip. It's great to have a box with easy access and a safe place to put things. Gifts such as these would make ideal presents for fermenters.
Many others are prone to trapping liquid, but these do not, and they are straightforward to clean. Although I have found them to be more slippery than other items I have come across, I find them The fermentation jars are my preferred method of using these. stack well in a jar as well, without taking up a lot of space.
I've been fermenting sauerkraut in wide mouth mason jars for some time, and I have been scaled with household objects like Chinese tea cups. Then I realized the light was too low, so I wondered if there was a better way. A while ago, I came across these weights while researching online. There were 7 in the package, which on first glance I thought was more than I needed, but I quickly realized it was exactly the right number. When I removed them from the jar, I found it much easier to hold on to them than I had Tongs are not used by me, but instead my fingers. These are very easy to care for, and I keep them in the little box that If I had to buy more of them, I would definitely do so.
I love the kraut! I can move it into jars without hesitation it is heavy enough to hold the kraut below the brine, and I can easily take it out by pinching the middle. There is a flat and smooth bottom to the weight.
It is much nicer and better than I had expected. Handles well and can be cleaned easily. In addition, it can be easily removed from fermented substances. Besides being a storage box, the box is also a handy method of transportation, so do not damage it when opening it. There is no doubt that I will This is the best price on Amazon by a long shot.
While the weights do work to keep whatever you are fermenting secure, removing them is as difficult as pulling them out. For fermentation of raw honey and garlic, I used them. To remove it, it was nearly impossible to get a grip on A spoon was needed to dig it out. After draining some honey, I dug some out. Buy weights with a knob instead of purchasing weights without a knob so that you don't get frustrated.
