⚡ At a Glance
- • Fermentation Control: One-way valve manages build-up of fermentation gases while airtight silicone seals limit oxygen exposure and sturdy glass supports stable storage.
- • Best for: Home fermenters making kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut and maintaining sourdough starters in small batches
- • Not ideal for: Large-scale fermentation or users who require dishwasher-safe containers and high-temperature sterilisation
Four 1.4 litre glass jars include airtight silicone lids with one-way valves for automatic gas release. Hand-wash care is recommended and very hot or boiling water should be avoided.
Reliable gas management - with one-way air release valve
A pressure-activated valve allows fermentation gases to escape while preventing outside air from entering, operating automatically as internal pressure rises.
Automatic venting simplifies daily monitoring and removes the need for muslin covers, reducing contamination risk during active fermentation.
Safe, low-oxygen storage - with airtight silicone seal
Silicone seals form a tight barrier that limits oxygen ingress and blocks contaminants from the jar interior during storage.
An oxygen-limited environment helps fermented foods mature cleanly in the fridge or at room temperature, preserving starter cultures and lowering mould risk.
Durable, reusable glass construction - with strong glass
Thick glass resists staining and odours and withstands repeated use, while lids include secure fittings that stay in place during fermentation.
A reusable set suitable for rotating batches, reducing single-use plastic and delivering consistent performance over time.
