HEFTMAN Fermenting Jars

I am new to fermentation so wanted an easy jar to start. These jars are just that and they are the best priced comparable jars. Using a cold sterilization (diluted Milton 15ml in 4L) and 4 rinses followed by air dry and time in an oven at 130C I got going with a Kimchi, Sauerkraut then these pickled cucumbers. The jars are heavy and worth making sure the lids are fully on and your hands are dry when handling to avoid dropping. When sterilising DO NOT use boiling water in these. Even when using a metal spoon etc to equalize the temperature between water and glass, the glass is so thick that cracking will occur. Another reviewer noted this - and I also made this mistake. If you want to boil or heat to sterilise DO raise the temp gradually from cold. The plastic and silicone lids are great allowing for gasses and liquids to overflow if needed when fermentation starts - without causing explosions! And lids and glass being neutral material there is no risk of corrosion or metal contamination. These are all food safe , BPA free and lead free. Jovela were a great and responsive supplier.

I bought this fermenting jar to make my own sauerkraut and kimchi at home. I was impressed by the quality and design of the jar. It is made of strong glass and has a wide mouth for easy filling and cleaning. The lid has a silicone seal that creates an airtight environment for the fermentation process. The best feature of this jar is the one-way valve that automatically releases the excess gas that builds up during fermentation. This prevents the jar from exploding or leaking, and also keeps out oxygen and contaminants that can spoil the food. The valve is very easy to use and does not require any maintenance. I have been using this jar for a few weeks now and I am very happy with the results. My sauerkraut and kimchi are delicious and crunchy, and have a nice tangy flavour. They are also full of probiotics that are good for my gut health. I would recommend this jar to anyone who wants to try fermenting their own food at home. It is a great product that is worth the price.

These will take only very gradual changes in temperature, ie very little thermal shock, before the bottom falls out. I broke one by rinsing out with only about a two teaspoons of recently boiled water which would have been fine in an ordinary bottle. They're a good size to go in my fridge but don't assume your fridge has the same shelf spacing. The valves worked well for brewing kombucha and you can see how the brewing is going.

I read the reviews about these breaking but went ahead and I'm really glad I did. I sterilize with Milton and had a batch of red cabbage with garlic and caraway seeds going for 3 weeks. It's gorgeous, really tangy and very tasty. My first lot with white cabbage was ok, but not as good as red cabbage. According to taste obviously.. The jars leaked quite a bit when fermenting started but that is good news. I put mine in a tray so no probs. I put weights in and topped up to keep it going. Really easy to do and no worries about burping the jars. Very happy with the results and my gut is too. Great jars.

Great idea but rhey are not fit for purpose. As others have said, the bottom of the glass breaks upon ANY temperature change. Going from fridge to cold tap water did it to mine upon second use. Shame as otherwise very handy, but I won’t be buying again.

Excellent Perfect size. Shape & weight Love the burp option Nice wide mouth for kimchi and pickling eggs Easy to use and look at Didn't risk them in the dishwasher or with boiling water (instructions said NOT TO use boiling water) but I did sterilize them with steam. So for me I think they are quality Treat carefully and no boiling liquids and they should last fine I'm certainly happy with my pair

This is my 2nd purchase. Previously I bought one very similar but it expelled the liquid and cracked when one of my weights was loose in it. This one keeps all the liquid inside and is a slightly thicker glass!! Fabulous for making Kimchi!!

What more can I say. They are a great idea and well designed with the wide top and the lid etc. They even look nice. But I've now had two of these just break while fermenting kraut and kimchi. they both cracked at the base, under very normal use. Have I been very unlucky? I broke another one because it slipped out of my hand. We will see how long number 4 lasts... I think it makes sense to look for stronger jars.

Doskonały produkt, do tej pory różnie mi wychodziły kiszonki (czytaj nie wychodziły). A tu miłe zaskoczenie, ukisiłam rzodkiewkę. Wyszła super, zero pleśni. Polecam gorąco te słoiki.

Eccellente qualità. Kefir perfetto.

Bra storlek 1,4 L och bra kvalitet. Smidigt med stor öppning på glaset!

Los botes están muy bien y son muy fuertes los utilizo para hacer kéfir y la verdad se ha dicho que me van muy bien y son fuertes y resistentes así que los recomiendo

Super Gläser zur Herstellung von Sauerkraut. Wir sind zufrieden. Hatten zuvor Gläser mit Metalldeckeln, die dann Rost ansetzten. Kann hier nicht passieren.
