FAQs

Is the lid supposed to be loose?

Yes, the lid is intentionally designed to be loose-fitting to allow gases produced during fermentation to escape safely.

Can I put this jar in the microwave?

While borosilicate glass is durable, it is best to avoid abrupt temperature shocks; the jar is primarily intended for fermentation and storage.

What is the maximum amount of starter I should keep in this jar?

The jar is optimized to hold up to 300g of fully risen sourdough starter.

Are the measurement markings permanent?

Yes, the markings are integrated into the glass design and will not wash off with regular cleaning.

Can I store the jar in the refrigerator?

Yes, the borosilicate glass is suitable for cold storage when maintaining your starter in a dormant state.

Troubleshooting

Starter is overflowing

Reduce the total amount of starter being maintained; ensure you stay under the 300g limit for a healthy rise.

Tracking ring is difficult to move

Ensure the exterior of the glass is clean and free from dried flour or sticky residue, then slide the ring gently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, high-quality borosilicate glass construction
  • Precise measurement markings simplify feeding ratios
  • Adjustable ring makes it easy to track peak fermentation
  • Easy to clean due to the wide-mouth design
  • Dishwasher-safe components for hygienic maintenance

Cons

  • Lid is not airtight, which may require careful storage to prevent spills
  • Capacity limited to 300g of active starter for optimal performance
  • Glass requires careful handling to avoid breakage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before the first use, wash the jar and lid in warm soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. To begin, add your starter to the jar, ensuring you do not exceed the recommended 300g for active, risen volume. Place the lid on top loosely; it is specifically designed to allow gas to escape during the fermentation cycle. For cleaning, the wide-mouth design accommodates a standard sponge or bottle brush. Both the borosilicate glass and the lid are dishwasher-safe, ensuring long-term hygiene without the risk of material degradation.
