Weighting stone with a diameter of 15 cm, for pots used for pickling cabbage, cucumbers or pickling. Recommended for barrels and pots (especially earthenware) with a capacity of 5 to 10 liters.

Handy in every household - the weight stones ensure the perfect process of pickling cabbage, cucumbers and other vegetables, but also for brining meat.
Effective - the size and weight of the pressure are chosen so that the charge remains below the surface of the brine/resulting juice in a vessel or jar of a specific capacity and matching diameter.
Practical and convenient to use - the stone consists of two halves with holes positioned side by side, which facilitates the extraction of juice during pickling and ensures easy insertion and removal of the stones, as well as quick access to the contents without having to remove both parts need to remove from the stone.
High-quality glazed stoneware – these aesthetic weighting stones are handmade from earthenware, a 100% natural material that does not react with food and is resistant to acids. An additional advantage of the stone is the glazed, scratch-resistant surface.
Functional - the stone is suitable for safely storing pickles for a long time, and the holes in the stone halves and the third, created after the pressing part is mounted, also allow the juice created during pickling to be released discharged above the pressure level.
Easy to Clean and Store - Thanks to the glaze, the stones can be easily washed after each use and once dried, easily kept clean during storage.

The stone can withstand temperatures of 0-300⁰C.

The product is certified for food contact.

Every lover of delicious and healthy homemade pickles (but also of cured meat specialties) knows very well how important good preparation and execution of the pickling (or brine) process is for the final effect. The matching vessel is perfectly complemented by a weighting stone of a selected size made of 100% natural material, safe for contact with food and resistant to acids. It keeps the charge below the surface of the brine/squeezed juice and ensures the best quality of the contents for a long time. This two-piece glazed earthenware stone is the ideal solution - functional and practical. Dividing the stone into two parts has the advantage, among other things, that the stone can be placed and removed in a pot with a neck diameter that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the stone when it is inlaid.

Each of the two halves of the stone has a hole and after the stone is put together, a third, center hole is created. These holes (2 cm in diameter) make it easier to insert the clamp halves and serve to drain the juice created during the fermentation process above the level of the stone. To take a portion of the contents you only need to lift one part of the stone.

The pressure guarantees the quality of the contents, aroma and taste. The glazed surface of the stoneware makes it easy to keep clean.

Usage tips:

Well-placed pressure should weigh down the vegetables so that air cannot get to them. During the fermentation process, the vessel/jar should be placed in a safe place, in an area with room temperature. When lactic acid fermentation begins, you need to check whether the vegetables are immersed in the juice that is formed. By maintaining such conditions, the contents can be successfully stored for up to several months without fear that mold or bacteria will appear under the stone.

When using pots with a water seal/water rim, you must remember to ensure that the water level in the rim remains at the right level. This will help prevent too much evaporation from the pot and prevent anything from outside the pot (for example fruit flies) from entering.

Cleaning and storage recommendations:

The weight stones should be washed with a brush and water, without the use of cleaning agents. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

Store after drying and ensure that the product cannot break.

Each product is handmade so there may be minimal differences in the appearance and size of individual stones.
