Soligt Fermentation Kit for Wide Mouth Jars, 4 Glass Weights+ 4 Fermenting Lids+1 Pump+ 6 Ferment Record Labels+ Recipe Book

I wanted to wait to write my review after I had used this kit for a while. It’s been about 2 months and I have now used this kit with sauerkraut, and all kinds of fermented veggies (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, onions beets, green beans etc). I must say that for a beginner like me this kit is great! First of all the price is great and second I really feel like this kit makes fermenting fool proof. I really like the glass weights and that they have the little nub which makes it easy to remove them. I also feel that with the pump to remove air you are really getting to ferment without air interfering with the ferment. The seal really does work because as soon as I press the seal and open my sauerkraut you can see it expand. I really like the ease of the whole kit and that I can use it with mason jars. I plan on buying another kit and bigger mason jars to make bigger batches since I ferment the Kraut for the full 3 weeks. Overall I def recommend this kit for ease of use and price!!!

The items are packed beautifully in a nice box. This would be a great gift for Christmas. The silicon ring around the lid looks like it could be removed for washing. It has a dozen of interesting recipe including fermented salsa. That is interesting! I have never thought about making fermented salsa!I tried the fermented salsa. It was yummy. The glass weight could be slippery if it is wet. However, I read the reviews of other models, they all have the same problem. You can tilt the jar slightly and lift it up with a knife. Overall, I like everything in the package. I also love the recipe booklet.UPDATED 9/4/18: I did one round of fermentation of salsa and avocado. It works wonderfully to have them available any time in my fridge. Since I can pump the air out, I do not need to worry about mold. This saves time from burping my jars every day and keeping the veggies below the water level. Fantastic design. I need to order another set.IMPORTANT: Once you have pumped the air out when first placing the veggies into the jar, do not touch it until the fermentation is done. No more pumping is needed. Let the gas come out naturally on its own. Leave an inch gap between the water and the lid to avoid overflow of liquid.

TLDR: Really liked this kit and satisfied with my purchase. First-ever batch of fermented veggies (cucumber kimchi) came out greatI was a little hesitant to buy this kit since it has so few reviews, but, in the end, I picked this kit 1) because of the price and 2) because it was one of the few available (to me) for free same-day shippingThis was my first attempt at fermenting anything. I wanted to make cucumber kimchi because the SO and I are doing keto diet and need some good, low-carb, gut-busting, pro-biotic filled fermented veggiesDespite being my first attempt, the kit was very easy to use and ~25 hours later, my first 2 batches of cucumber kimchi - I made 2 different batches to try different recipes - came out quite tastyPROS:-4 lids and weights so you can make 4 batches at once-recipe book, which seems rare based on the other sets I was browsing-the pump really came in handy because it lets you use trial and error to see how long you want to ferment for. Taste not what you want? Just put the lids back on and pump out the air to keep fermenting!-the lids fit my "ball" wide-mouth mason jars perfectly (you can get them at target, walmart, ace, etc)CON (kinda):-Weights were kind of hard to get out. I don't really fault the weights for this, since I would probably have the same issue with any weights: I didn't purchase enough cucumbers to make two full 32oz mason jars worth of kimchi. In the fermenting process, they shrunk more I realized. 3/4 of a jar turned in less than 1/2 a jar. I couldn't fit my fingers/hands in far enough to get the lids out so I had to tilt the jars and use chopsticks to pry them out far enough I could grabAll in all, very happy I took a chance on this kit

I was hesitant to purchase because of being new to fermenting. I previously made kimchi and tomatillo salsa without any "equipment" and I knew from that experience that I wanted glass weights and a lid solution. I purchased because this kit because the price was so reasonable -- glass weights, lids and a pump. I love the glass weights as they keep the veggies under the brine and the air bubbles out that I worked so hard to remove. The lids worked great -- no smelly fermentation in the air or leakage of brine, I didn't need to pump because the ginger/carrot and pickled cucumbers came out perfect on first taste, so I can't speak to that. I think I made the perfect purchase for my use (small batch fermentation), I highly recommend.

Great product for quickly and readily pickling and fermenting just about anything. The rubber sealed lids have check valves and a pump that allows you to remove oxygen from the product. The lids fit all standard wide-mouth Ball type mason jars. Just swap out the lid and screw in the valve lid. To get the seal just right, I did have to manage it in place a bit while I screwed on the cap.Includes 4 lids, 4 glass weights, and a pump. The pump works perfect and the weights are fairly easy to pick up, even when wet. The instruction booklet is not written by a native English speaker, but that’s ok because it still covers the basics, has lots of recipes, and is still a fun read!Already made 2 sets of salsa, plus pickles and spicy carrots within 2 weeks. Thanks!

I like how the kit is stored with components protected in a foam insert. The kit store well in my pantry. I started sauerkraut and firecracker carrots this week. The weights are great and the knobs on top are really handy. I'm not to the "pump" process yet, but I'm sure it will be perfect and easy to use like everything else in the kit. Perfect for someone interested in trying small batch fermentation.

Packaging is lovely - the recipe book is good, but they should have hired a proof reader.Lots of great reviews gave me confidence to buy what looked like it would be an excellent long term purchase but...From an engineering perspective - the vacuum lids are terrible. The are basically a hard plastic disc with a circumferential gasket and a central one way valve. Air is expelled using a pump. The disc slides around under the vacuum so you need some pressure on the lid to keep it centred - but the twisting force from the two part collar either takes the disc off-centre and unseals the jar or just pushes it into the jar. If you don’t use a collar the disc either pops off because it had flexed under the vacuum or it slides to one side. I could design a far better product having seen this one in practice - there are manufacturers who could have made this an excellent product. Sadly it’s a cheap piece of rubbish.So did some of the great reviews get free product? Asking for a refund.

It was nice dealing with the company itself when needed help. The kit comes with 4x (hard-soft) plastic-silicon one-way fermenting lids, 4x glass tops nicely designed with little handle leveled with glass body hight, a vacuum pump, a fermentation guide with pictures, and blank label stickers. Highly recommend to deal with this company-seller as they really care about customer satisfaction. Wish the company goes greener with less plastic used for packing. All the best!

Son de excelente material y sellan a la perfección. Es necesario adquirir práctica sellando y sacando el aire excedente. Solo hay que tener en cuenta que NO INCLUYE FRASCOS.

This kit was exactly what we needed for our sauerkraut. Everything is the right size and it all works perfectly.

The lid is slightly smaller that the original ball jar wide mouth lid cover. You have to hold the lid in place when screwing the cover else it will move to the side and can see the end tip of the lid.
