Description
Masontops Pickle Pipes – Waterless Airlock Fermentation Lids (Wide Mouth, 8-Pack)
Low-maintenance lids for your low-key fermenting life.
These soft silicone Pickle Pipes take the stress out of mason jar fermenting. They’re self-venting, waterless, and surprisingly discreet (you won’t bonk them on the cabinet when closing the door). Just pop one on a jar, press the center to open the valve, and let the gases escape while keeping the bad stuff out.
They’re especially great for wide-mouth mason jars—and for people who'd rather not hover over their kraut like an overprotective parent.
Why I Keep Using These
- Made for wide-mouth mason jars (Ball, Kerr, etc.)
- Airlock magic: lets gas out, keeps oxygen and dust away
- No burping, no babysitting
- Just ½" tall — perfect for countertop or cupboard ferments
- Food-safe silicone (BPA-free, phthalate-free)
- Dishwasher safe, low-drama cleaning
Little Things to Love
- Comes in four mellow colors — helpful if you’re running a kraut rainbow
- Great for ferments with higher gas production (like kimchi or garlic)
- Won’t roll off the counter (yes, we’ve tested this)
Note: This is the wide-mouth set. If you’re using regular (a.k.a. small-mouth) jars, check out the other version!
