Review on 🥛 Kefir Caps for Wide Mouth Mason Jars - Live Culture Grains Strainer - Home Fermentation Starter Kit - 2 Pack by Masontops by Freddie Newton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Smart, but doesn't hold up to daily use for long periods of time and doesn't necessarily seal well when closed.

I bought two packs of these fermenting lids and now use them every day to make water kefir and milk kefir. It's a clever design: Screw the colored part firmly onto the wide mouth jar and line up the three small grooves on the translucent lid with the corresponding dots on the colored filter lid. Twist the top cap one way and the jar is (mostly) sealed. Flip it the other way and you will see a hole about 1/8 inch to allow air flow during aerobic fermentation. The only thing that disappoints me about these lids is that they don't necessarily close when closed. Так что, если вы хотите, скажем, перевернуть ваш кефир, чтобы увидеть, как он продвигается, у вас может быть беспорядок на руках (я говорю "может" и "обязательно", потому что один из моих все еще запечатывает нормально, а другой No). Over time with daily use, I suspect none of them will close well. The top lid is quite flimsy and I expect it to warp at some point even if it closes well now. top cover and pour the finished kefir, leaving grains. I can even add fresh sugar water without removing the filter cap if I'm careful. I lose tiny new grains in the process, the filter is fine enough to catch them. And it doesn't catch milk kefir grains, except for very large clumps, which I understand are old T-cells. So good marks for the design, mediocre marks for the execution.

Pros
  • Household and kitchen
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
