Glass fermentation weights are one of the most important accessories for anyone fermenting kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles and other vegetables safely and consistently.

Their job is simple — and essential: keep all the ingredients fully submerged in the brine throughout the fermentation process.

Why are weights so important?

In vegetable fermentation, the biggest enemy is contact with oxygen.

When vegetables are exposed to air, the chances rise dramatically of: mould, off-flavours and unbalanced fermentations.

Glass weights:

• push the vegetables down
• keep everything submerged in the brine
• create a stable anaerobic environment
• reduce the need for daily attention

Result: safer, cleaner, more predictable ferments.

Ideal for kimchi, sauerkraut and pickles

Features

• Set of 2 fermentation weights
• Sturdy, non-porous glass
• Doesn't absorb odours or flavours
• Easy to clean
• Reusable and durable

The weight is 7cm in diameter (use a cabbage leaf to cover the whole surface, then the weight to press it down).

A small detail that makes all the difference

Fermenting without weights is possible; fermenting with weights is safer, simpler and much more relaxed.

If you want well-fermented kimchi and sauerkraut, without mould or stress, these weights are an essential ally in your kitchen.

Happy fermenting 🥬✨
