If you need a heating pad in the winter, it must not be Unless you want to kill them, that is. Just a few of these for summertime sprouting.
Jars the size of quarts fit into them. Lids for half gallon jars should be larger than the current ones
In a half gallon jar with mung beans and broccoli seeds, I always prepared 2 tablespoons of those seeds in order to fill half of it up consequently, 2 tablespoons of those seeds would fill a 32 oz jar.
The model with the handle is the one I use more because it drains better when I tilt it. Every two hours, I fill up the jar with seed with water and set it in a sink tilted against a handle to let it drain Once I have it, I tilt the handle on the counter and store it there. It is never a good idea to use models without handles since they don't I hope this is helpful!

If you plan to order, please make sure you have quart size wide mouth jars on hand. They are hard to come by these days. For $17 for a dozen, they were available at my local grocery store. However, these lids fit well on the jars and were easy to use. I sprouted three jars of mung bean sprouts quickly and easily. In addition to the subtle perforations on the lids that allow water to pass right through, they are small enough to drain without losing seeds. I rinsing them in water from the refrigerator dispenser seemed to work well. It would have been nice if they had dedicated saucers, but I just used dishes to catch the 3 of the lids have the leaning handles, and the other 3 lack them.
The handle on top allows the jar to rest in a tilted position for drainage, and I liked the idea of the handle on top. This thing won't stay upside down in the tilted position on its own! Isn't this supposed to have been tested already? For the water to fall, I need to prop the jar upside down inside a solid mason jar top and tilt it. It has drainage holes that are too large for tiny seeds to fit through, and water pools around the perimeter of the top, so it doesn't drain fully as well. The lids with handles on all my other bags appear to be identical, so I was planning to return them. It is certainly better than rinsing sprouts in an open strainer and growing them on the floor. Everything seems to be going well for the sprouts.
Was it a mistake to expect what I expected? There appears to be no reason why the lids with handles are supposed to support the jars on their own. It DOES NOT happen to me when I use handles on my lids. It is impossible for them to stand on an angle, then to hold a jar in place. The results were not what I expected. It is so disappointing to be let down like this. It is a nice lid, but would not work if you are thinking that they rest at a slight As a reminder There is no angle at which the handles rest on lids. You just have to let go to see how the jar goes back to upright. In this case, I used Mason jars in pint and quart sizes.
It was only the lids with the handle that made it possible for the jar to stand at the correct angle unsupported. However, I found the lids without handles also allowed the jar to stand at the proper angle. Those places where the ground won't be bumped will be fine, but otherwise it's not stable. Rather than using handles, I now prefer lids without them The footprint is more compact. Their design and ease of use make them ideal for all types of cleaning.
This is exactly how it was This lid works perfectly on standard wide mouth quart mason jars, and the holes in the lid allow you to easily add water and rinse sprouts without losing little seeds. The handle allows them to sit on an angle while draining. It goes in the dishwasher without any issues, and it's terrific to be able to grow sprouts at home without stressing out about.
After wondering why these lids do not drain when in the upright position, I realized that they do not drain in the stand-up position. It must be something to do with surface tension? My video is very surprising, so check it out. Testing of these didn't take place, as far as I know. I would not recommend it for a stand-up purpose, but it could probably be done.
It was my fault I didn't pay attention to the handles and got the yellow ones instead, but I guess I shouldn't be upset. A major problem with the lid is that there is no grid or mesh - only a louvered design. There are just some problems with drainage since my old mesh ones worked so well. The water drains out each time you pick them up after re-rinsing them so I might not reorder. You have to shake them out and I'm prone to more water dripping from They have mesh grids that allow more air to flow, so the sprouts are able to dry between washings a bit faster.
For my canning jar rings and metal mesh screen, I used to use Though they work just fine, the rings rust over time. I finally got a set of these and I'm very pleased with them. In addition, these lids do not rust and are engineered in a way that they are at an angle when the jar is upside down draining, which facilitates drainage and (I expect) With as many sprouts as I get in a package, I can grow two or three lots of different sprouts at once, depending on the kitchen temperature. These are the things you need to buy!.
