"very smooth and take note, they fit ball mason jars" star star star_border star_border star_border I saw a couple of reviews re putting them in kilner jars, I bought some as I have a lot of kilners. I got one into the jar easily enough but they must be uneven around the edges because no way could I get it out now that my sauerkraut is ready. I ended up with ground glass on my sauerkraut. So the pebble is spoilt, not the jar. They are also very difficult to grab hold of as they are so smooth. So I am going to stick with the lovely glass pebbles with a handle that I found for wide mouth ball mason jars, I had to buy jars too but oh well, my kilners are coming in handy for dry storage and jam support_agent A note from the team Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear these weren’t suitable and we’ve sent you an email. The best way to take the pickle pebbles out of the jars is to tip the pebble so the sides are facing to the top and the bottom. Then lift pebble out with either fingers or a pair of tongs. The pebble may have to twist to get free from the top of the jar.
"Too small" star star star_border star_border star_border I like the design of the pickle pebbles but they are too small for wide mouth kilner jars. Had to pack three into sauerkraut but they’re a tad light to be effective. I would like to purchase the larger size which doesn’t appear to be offered for sale on your site. support_agent A note from the team Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear these haven’t met your expectations and we’ve been in touch to offer a full refund.
"Does what it says on the tin." star star star star star Perfect weight and handy wee grips for lifting out. A slightly larger diameter to fit larger jars would be great.
"Makes sauerkraut easy!" star star star star star This review is for an older version of this product This is a new improved design! It has the pinch handle and is noticeably smaller. It also fits in a kilner jar as well as Ball regular mouth jars. According to my measurements this one is 5.2 cm. In short the new one is great and makes great sauerkraut.
"Too small and not the same as the photos" star star star star_border star_border These little glass weights are really useful for weighing down fermented food to stop it floating. However they are too small for the Lakeland fermenting jars and only weigh down around half of the surface of the jar. Also, the ones I were sent were nothing like the ones in the photo which have a little "handle" on the top to help lift them out of the jar. The ones in my box were perfectly small, like small paperweights, which made them harder to use. support_agent A note from the team Many thanks for placing your review. We're sorry to hear these weights aren't suitable and we're glad we've been able to put things right for you. We stock the regular pebbles rather than the wide mouth so they can fit in smaller or larger jars. We're looking at the wide mouth version - thanks again for your feedback.
