Pickle Crocks have suddenly made an appearance in your average kitchenwares shop. I really like the ones with two separate lids, one to keep the contents under the brine, the other to create a water seal. It was actually fairly easy to make. But it then occured to me, why don't they sell just the weights? For use with an ordinary quart-sized glass Ball jar? So I threw about a dozen of these. If anyone would like to try one out, the small weight with the holes in it shown here, let me know and I'll send you one. I'd love to hear what people think of them. Ken Sunday, August 11, 2013

I'd love to try one out!
aKen, you are a genius. Sounds like a Kickstarter idea, to me.
I would love to try one of the weights! I'm an avid pickler/fermenter. No idea why the weights are not commercially available - I always have to rig something to make it work.
Guys, If I have any left, they're yours. A handful of people asked me already. Best, Ken
What a great idea!!!
Me, me, pick me :-) ... OK, maybe I can just share one with Jeremy
What a fabulous idea. I hope there is at least some of these left. I would love to have at least one. I'm in the SF Bay area, you aren't that far away, do you ever get to my area? I'm in Alameda, CA, but can travel to Oakland, Berkeley, Albany or close areas.
You're back on the wheel! Let's figure out a trade. I would love to surprise C with one of these, and what else do you have hanging around? I'm a pitcher-lover and ceramics lover in general...
Too bad duck eggs don't ship!
Absolutely ingenious! And about time someone would think to make these!. If possible, would love to try it out...
