Baytoot Wide Mouth Sourdough Jar Starter Kit – 33 oz (Grey)

When You're Ready to Give Your Sourdough the Jar It Deserves

Yes, you can raise a beautiful sourdough starter in a Mason jar.
But if you’ve ever spilled discard on your counter, lost track of feeding days, or fumbled with cling wrap and rubber bands — this jar changes the game.

The Baytoot starter jar kit is thoughtfully designed for the fermentation-obsessed and the sourdough-curious alike.
The wide-mouth glass makes mixing and cleaning a breeze. The silicone sleeve keeps things cozy while shielding your starter from sunlight.
And the air-control lid? A dream. Let your starter breathe when it needs to, and lock things up when it doesn’t.

It even includes a silicone spatula (so you don’t destroy your knuckles scraping the jar) and a thermometer strip (for those of us who geek out over optimal temps).


Why I Love It:

  • Wide-mouth 33 oz glass jar — easy to mix, easy to clean, easy to love
  • Rotating lid with day markers — no more “wait… did I feed this yesterday?”
  • Silicone sleeve — maintains warmth and blocks light without hiding your starter
  • Airflow control lid — better than a cloth cover, with actual control
  • Bonus tools included — food-safe spatula + temperature strip
  • All parts dishwasher safe — because sourdough should be joyful, not messy

🍞 If you’re going to feed a living culture every day, it might as well live in a home that makes it (and you) feel taken care of.
