FAQs

How do I clean the jars?

Wash the jars, lids, and weights with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

What is the purpose of the airlock?

The airlock allows gases to escape while preventing air from entering, which is essential for creating a controlled fermentation environment.

Can I use these jars for sourdough starters?

Yes, these jars are suitable for use as a sourdough starter jar due to their wide mouth design and airlock feature.

What type of food can I ferment?

You can ferment various foods, including vegetables (kimchi, sauerkraut), fruits, and dairy products (kefir).

How do I use the glass weights?

Place the glass weights on top of the ingredients to keep them submerged below the brine, preventing spoilage and promoting even fermentation.

Ensure the lid is properly aligned with the jar and that there is no obstruction. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
