We have really enjoyed this kit

We have really enjoyed this kit. We have some very nice cabbage we have added to salad plates. We are now experimenting with mixed salad type vegetables. It reminds me of salads we had when we lived in Germany. We just put a little vinegar on the fermented product and it is lovely.

Cookbook surprise!

I was so pleased to see that this set actually comes with a nice and colorful recipe book with a few basic recipes that you can tweek for different vegetables. I've made the Ginger Garlic Carrots so far and my entire family loves them! The whole set is quality. Love it, and very easy to use. I suggest you buy the heavy duty white plastic canning jar rings also on Amazon for this purpose.

This kit is amazing.

This kit is amazing. I make fermented veggies all the time, but never had a pounder, or such easy to use tops before. The pounder is perfect for stuffing jars tightly (without making your knuckles sore). The glass weights hold everything down, and the silicone tops just slip right on top when you are all done, and are held in place with a mason jar rim (not included). I did fine before with what I had, but this makes it easy to have jars fermenting all of the time. The kit is beautifully and snugly packed and I just slipped the foam from the box right into my kitchen drawer to hold the pieces in place when not in use. I'm impressed. I spent more than the cost of this kit on two fermenting lids that are awkward to use and store. Clear instructions for use and storage. Well done!

My only disappointment is that I don't have more pickle pipes and ...

A vendor at the local German festival who was hawking his homemade Kraut told me about the Masontops product and how it made in the jar fermenting a relativity simple process. He wasn't kidding! This weekend I made 2 Qts of Sourkraut and a couple qts of Gardiniera and things couldn't be easier. My only disappointment is that I don't have more pickle pipes and pebbles so I can get more jars going! So far seems like a great product and I most likely will order more pipes and pebbles so I can make enough ferments to share with friends and family. The follow up email from Genuine Essentials was a nice touch! Thank you! Happily Fermenting

Great for fementing

I use this frequently for making sauerkraut and Kim Chee. Easy to use and to clean. Holds up well (two years of use, going on three). Makes only small batches (4qt. max) due to being restricted to pint or quart mason jars. I really like this fermenting system & have gifted it to other fermenters since getting mine.

Great starter kit!

I enjoy this kit very much. It's basic as fermenting isn't rocket science but the burping nipples are an awesome idea. Only one wasn't cut all the way through but that's an easy fix so nothing to complain about. Just take a sharp knife(with parents supervision if of a young age) and slowly push it through where it is perforated already and it's that easy. Most you just need to squeeze and they pop open. The glass waits do the trick though I find for some jars I need to put two in to cover the top and hold everything down. The masher is pretty and of course not rocket science to use ether. I'm not one for fallowing recipes but I the book gave me good rule of thumbs to go by and so far everything has been delicious and I feel so much better getting good probiotics from my fermented food.

Its fun to ferment!

This was my 1st go at fermenting. I saw a YT vid of someone using this and so I got one to try. Its great! Made some sauerkraut last week. Came out PERFECT! Even got a little nervous about the process so I emailed Mason Tops and someone got back to me with 2 days! Everything turned out great. Just needed a little reassurance that the Pickle Pipe was working correctly. It was. All is well and I'm very happy. I'll be buying more sets as this fermentista makes more yummy goodness! Thank you!

Yes

My wife has wanted to get into pickling for some time now, and this set is perfect. All you need to provide are the jars and veggies. The packer fits well in the hand, works in smaller or larger jars, and smells sweet. The weights and pipes work as described, and keep us from having to burp the jars all the time. If you are ready to enjoy the benefits of fermented vegetables, get this.

Stunning.

I admit I haven't used these yet so I'll update after I have. But this kit is beautiful. They put a lot of thought into presention (and we all know that that's what usually catches the eye) the box is just stunning. It's VERY well padded so everything is snug and safe. The actual contents were also very pleasing to the eye, while being simple and easy to use. I've read through the instruction/recipe book and it's very concise and, of course, beautiful. We will see how well everything petfoms once I hit the farmers market. :)

Great kit, worth the money.

Works great. I made sauerkraut with a little ginger root and its the best sauerkraut I've ever eaten! I thought the kit was a little pricey when I bought it, but now that I've used it I would recommend it without reservation. My garden is just starting, but I have plans to pickle many fresh vegetables! If you're seriously considering this fermentation kit -- do yourself a favor and just buy it. Then use it. Yum!
