This works perfectly for my kimchi crock. Perfect weight and dimensions.
absolutely perfect for 3 gallons of kraut
Mrs Betty Turner•November 11, 2017
I have lactofermented cabbage (kraut, kimchi, and pao cai) for years in half gallon mason jars. We eat a lot of fermented cabbage per year. I recently snatched a 3 gallon Ohio Stoneware crock in great condition at an estate sale but it had no lid and no weights. No worries, used a plate and a filled mason jar as a weight. But I worried that my plate might crack/break and ruin 3 gallons (15#) of fermenting cabbage so a treated myself to this weight set made by the same people who made my crock.
It's amazingly effective. The balanced 6# of weight holds the cabbage under the brine perfectly. The size is ideally suited to my crock. The materials are tested safe. It stores in the bottom of the crock. It's a dream.
I'll be buying another set to get 12# of weight total on my ferment in the future.
[recipe: 15# of shredded or thin sliced cabbage. Reserve 4 intact clean out leaves. Place cabbage into 3gal crock 5# at a time strongly massaging in 3Tbs of canning or sea salt for each 5# batch. Do not use iodized table salt. Let sit 30mins to 1hr to draw out cabbage juices. Press down cabbage in juices until the juices rise a minimum 1" above cabbages in the crock. Cabbage must remain covered with brine. Add a brine (1.5T salt per quart of filtered water) if sufficient brine doesn't form naturally. Place the four whole leaves over the cabbage and place the weights over the top. Cover. Let sit 2-3 weeks at 65-75F. Jar and refrigerate or can for storage.]

Unsatisfactory

Very disappointed. It came cracked and splintered. The weight was still good enough to use,. I would have sent it back, but I wouldn't have enough time for a replacement.
Highly recommended for a perfect batch of sauerkraut.

They fit perfectly in either of my three-gallon crocks. Just the right amount of weight!
I am a bit concerned about using them in a batch of red cabbage for red sauerkraut as they are porous and I fear that they will take that color and maybe pass it onto other, white batches.
Not a worry as at this price, I can buy two more sets.

Great weight set. Took a couple tries to get one that wasn't cracked.
