When You're Ready to Upgrade from "Good Enough"

There are a dozen ways to keep your ferment under the brine.
A cabbage leaf. A scrubbed rock. That small glass ramekin that always tips.

But when you're done improvising and ready for something that just works — beautifully — these weights are it.

Masontops didn’t just make a hunk of glass.
They designed these Pickle Pebbles to fit wide-mouth jars exactly, with just the right weight to hold things down, and a clever little grip that makes you feel like someone thought this through.

They’re not the only good option out there — but if you want something that lasts, looks great, and makes your life easier?
This is the set I’d point you to.


What I Love:

  • Crystal-clear, non-porous glass — no stains, smells, or weirdness
  • Fits like a glove in wide-mouth Mason jars (2.7” diameter)
  • Flat, heavy, stable — keeps things properly submerged
  • Built-in finger grip — no more fork-fishing or jar-tilting
  • Top-rack dishwasher safe — and honestly, they still look brand new after dozens of batches

🥒 These are the weights I pull out when I want the whole process to feel smooth, clean, and just... better.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Perfect fit for wide-mouth mason jars (2.7" diameter).
  • Made of clear, food-safe soda lime glass — non-porous and lead-free.
  • Flat bottom and solid weight keep veggies fully submerged.
  • Easy-grip handle makes removing weights clean and simple.
  • Durable, easy to clean, and built to last through many batches.
  • Cons

  • Glass can chip or break if dropped — handle with care.
  • Doesn't fit oversized or half-gallon jars perfectly — works best in standard wide-mouth.
