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!
