Very easy! Bought it to see if it would work on my Sauerkraut because well I have a lot of ferments and was always releasing the top. This looked like a volcano you built in elementary school. I haven’t opened it once. If I do have to open it, a couple pumps to remove air. I haven’t tested that part yet. I have ordered more tops.

The packaging was excellent. I think you could throw this box on the porch and nothing would get damaged. It came with a nice recipe book plus it's easy to find some online. I did sauerkraut but it is still fermenting. It was easy enough to figure out the pump, but those directions probably should have been included.

My grandmother was incredible at canning foods from her garden, everything from pressure canned foods like beans to fermented foods like crock pickles and sauerkraut refrigerated to maintain the health benefits of their probiotics. I miss her greatly but am doing my best to carry on her traditions, but we lack the acres of land and long growing season that made her very productive garden possible. As such, instead of large ceramic multi gallon ceramic crocks for fermenting bushels of fruit at once, we need a solution that lets me easily do small batches of fruit as they ripen.This kit includes the devices that I’ve found most successful, and provides them all in a great starter kit. The lids are easy to use, allowing CO2 to escape and extraction of oxygen using the included pump, as well as dials on the top to remind you of the date you started fermentation so you don’t lose track as I’ve ruined a few batches letting them go too long. The glass weights are a must to keep the fruit under the brine and these have a great feature I wish I had on the ones I’ve purchased previously, which is a small handle. Why is this so important? Because the weight is just smaller than the jar opening and when you’re removing it after fermentation ends, you’re desperately trying to remove this slippery smooth glass out of the brine without contaminating the food with the oils on your fingers. I’ve gotten fairly proficient doing this with a couple of forks, but having a handle like that to grab with fingers (or tongs if below the brine) would make it so much easier.Another benefit of using a kit like this is that you can use them with whatever sized wide mouth jar that best holds the amount of food you need to ferment: Half gallon, quart, pint, or smaller. This flexibility is really critical so that you can ferment foods at their peak of freshness, rather than waiting until you have enough to fill a larger fermentation vessel. This also makes storage and cleanup convenient as you’re not needed to move the food to another jar for storage in the fridge - I just swap the lid with a airtight one so I can use the airlock lids for my next batch!A great and cost effective way to get started on the path of fermented foods.

I have used it to make sauerkraut, and hot sauce. Very happy with it.

Really like the date dial. The lids work well, no weeping or overflowing jars. Will buy more.

Been wanting to dive in to the ferment world. Bought these and made hot sauce with a bunch of peppers given to me. Came out excellent with no mold scum or anything on top. Easy to use. Can't wait for tomorrow to try some squash.
