Premium Easy Wide-Mouth Fermenting Kit: Waterless Airlock Fermenter Lids Set with Day & Month Tracker, Pump, Guide. Ferment Sauerkraut, Pickles, Probiotics. Time Saver (Farmhouse White, 6 Pack)

Below was my original review, but since then the seller reached out to me and asked me to give them another chance. The new set of lids worked to perfection. Tight seals and no fizzing. I'm so glad I tried these lids again. My new batches of ferments are coming along beautifully. Plus, these particular lids are cheaper than other comparable lids. Win-Win. Lemons happen, but the seller was great about making things right. Original review: I love to ferment foods, so I'm familiar with the process. I already have a set of fermenting lids similar to this one, but I decided to try this brand. I'm not sure if I got a lemon or if these lids simply aren't as good, but I've had trouble with three out of six lids. The silicone part does not seal properly. I did a batch of fermented garlic and the odor was overwhelming because the seals were loose. On two of the jars, they would bubble constantly outside the lid. I finally changed the lids to the other brand and the problem disappeared. I hate to return them because other than the seals being inconsistent, I do like them. They're easy to use. Still it does me no good to pay for six lids when only three of them do their job. I'd like to hear from the seller if they have an answer.

I’ve been using these for a good while now. Try them. You won’t be disappointed. My tips: if you tend to shake your jars occasionally then remove the lid afterwards n clean it up. It gets bits on the center seal and won’t hold a vacuum. Not a defect. Just something you gotta do to keep it clean. Also not cleaning it will get it gummed up n potentially stick shut making the lid hard to remove. Again. Keep it clean and no problems. Much better than metal lids that rust. Lastly. The company’s service is first class. You email them, they address it immediately. Buy their lid remover tool to make life easier. UPDATE: I’ve been using these for about 4 years now. It’s just simple. Many times I don’t even suction out the air if my contents are submersed. I have yet to have a failed ferment but that depends on your salt content. Just ordered more.

These are very well made and they work well, but they’re extremely difficult to clean.

It seems no matter how many jars of veggies I ferment, one jar in the batch always seems to mold--UNTIL NOW! Every jar was perfect after 21 days. I like having the date on the lid, and the pump to draw out excess air is the best idea yet. Also easier to clean than the air lock lids. I couldn't be happier with this set. I definitely recommend them.

I bought this because my Foodsaver has the handheld vacuum for jars but they are not selling the jar sealer for some reason. I found that I can remove the rubber tip on one of the pumps that come with the lids and superglue it to the vacuum pump on the handheld part of the Foodsaver. It is a perfect fit and it seals the jars wonderfully. I would like to have the sealer that works with the regular canning seal tops but this is the next best thing. And it is my way of showing Foodsaver that I am smarter than them.

Like the month and day dial vs just the day, like the price and the ease. Kombucha is happy and no fear of bottle bombs. Kraut, carrots, string beans, I'm happy with them so far, except now they're out of stock, typical. I came back for more, a few more.

The airlock on the lid is effective and has made ferments easy. As long as I do my part to use fresh veggies and keep it under the brine, I get great results. The pump is stupid simple to use, and the date on the lid reminds forgetful me how old the ferment is. Only minor nitpicks are the lid is a little difficult to open and close, but this is because it needs to seal tightly, no worse than some commercially produced products. It also makes a funny semi-quiet squeak from the airlock while vigorous fermenting occurs sometimes. Warn the family ahead of time or endure a witch hunt for it!

I thought of making sauerkraut from scratch. I did not try the recipe from online, because the product comes with some recipes, including sauerkraut. Well, you need a magnifier to read the tiny print of the recipe. I guess they are printed so tiny to reduce costs. So I bought red cabbage and followed the recipe. The kit does not have weights. I have to buy them separately (weights are needed to keep the cabbage under the liquid). Wow, the sauerkraut turned very good and far superior than store-bought one. The taste is far complex. Thanks for making great products.

The product is made very well and it fits the jars perfectly. I was sceptical about this purchase but I wanted to try it out. I am glad I did. I made a small batch of sourkraught. it turned out very well. The little pump makes all the difference.

Exactly right for the job of fermenting and makes the process much faster and easier

These lids work perfectly. I had no problem with fermented vegs and eggs, and I have sauerkraut and dill pickles bubbling away. They'll be ready in two days. The lids are very well made and should last for years.

i did not had good fermentation with it, may just me and not the product.

Great product, easy to use. Love the pressure release valve and the suction pump features. Successfully fermented kimchi, sauerkraut (18 days), kvass, peppers. All turned out great. No evaporation issues with my sauerkraut. Love the low profile lids and easy all in one storage. One flaw: cheap quality date system that pops off easily because it’s too loose.
