How Do Easy Grip Lids Work?
The Easy Grip Lids have a center valve that will release the build up of gases and air pressure automatically. The fermentation process builds up a lot of carbon dioxide gases quickly, which automatically forces the oxygen out of the jar through the center valve.
How Do Easy Grip Lids Block Oxygen?
After a few days, the fermentation process produces less carbon dioxide and less pressure inside the jar.
These lids prevent daily burping. This means you do not reintroduce oxygen into the ferment in the later stages of the process which would happen if you had to daily burp the lids. This greatly reduces the chance ruined ferments.
Smooth Rounded Edges and Tabs
Our Lids were designed to be comfortable to use. All the upper edges are rounded and the 4 tabs themselves are smooth as well. No sharp angles or edges means they are comfortable to your hands.

Just started experimenting with fermenting peppers for hot sauce. Thought I would try these and they seem to work very well. They seem quite durable and provide a tight fit on widemouth jars.

Tried 3 of 4 lids, they did not maintain an airtight seal on standard 32oz wide mouth Ball jars. At first, the pump works fine and the lid seals air tight. The lids are very difficult to open, with a rush of air pressure when opened. Checking back a few hours later, the airtight seal is gone, the lids open very easily, with no rush of air. I am returning these, I will try another brand of the same lid, and if that doesn't work, I will look for another solution to vacuum seal jars.

We are huge fermenting fans, and did the traditional pickle pebble using the standard pickle pipe for a while but got tired of the messes. Inevitably the pipes would plug up and the pressure beneath sent an oozing mess up over the lid and down the sides of the Mason jars. We ended up with sticky messes everywhere. Then we came across these lids and thought "Genius!", the solution to our problem. Well, they have been! So glad we bought these. We've purchased several sets since. Additionally, the pump eliminates all oxygen which makes for a bacterial-free environment allowing the veggies to ferment in a very healthy, clean jar. We pump all the oxygen out, to the point that it's hard to pump at all, and that pulls up all the brine to make certain the veggies are covered, including the cabbage. We have found cabbage to be the most difficult to maintain moisture over the top due to our very dry climate which encourages the cabbage to reabsorb the moisture. Using these lids and the pump discourages the reabsorption and maintains fluid over the top where it is most needed. Since using these lids we have yet to find any yeast, kahm, mold, or questionable growth on our ferments, which is hugely reassuring. Whenever we do a taste test we test the PH with a pen first, and once done tasting and putting on the lid we reapply the pump to remove all oxygen inside of the jar. The sterile oxygen free environment makes all the difference for a healthy ferment. Overall we very much recommend these lids for serious fermenters. It simplifies the busy lives fermenters deal with due to juggling so many projects. Also, the date marker is a big plus for taste testing. The nice grip is another big plus for lid removal. They are very easy to clean, but we do not put anything into a dishwasher so there is no risk of residue being left inside our jars or sealing lids. It's much safer to hand wash, rinse and allow to drip dry. These are great for wide mouth jars, and we've used them on pint, quart, and half gallon-sized jars. Versatile and easy to store, too. Great product for fermenting!

These fermenter lids by far are the best design I've tried yet. Easy to use , well made and good value , keeps air out and vents co2 . I do wish they sold the replacement silicone gaskets for the lids thought.

This kit has been invaluable in fermenting for me and gives me a Perfect Fermentation every time! The automatic venting valve makes it so easy - you don't have to do anything after you pump the air out. I have seen videos where the person pumps up and then takes the pump off to expel the air - you do NOT have do that with these - you just pump up & down as you would a bicycle pump and it works perfectly!I put the weight on, pump the air out, turn the dial and that's it! I Love these lids! There is no need to use any of my other lids because these are Perfection! Also the Customer Service is beyond what I would've expected. I wanted to solve an issue and the owner personally solved it with the most Caring, Excellent Customer Service - a company is only as good as it's Customer Service, in my opinion. I don't write reviews unless I am 100% sure of a product and this one definitely deserves it! Fermenting should be easy and fun and this kit makes it just that!

So far the product seems to be working well. I’ll know more when the fermenting cycle is finished.

So I bought 2 different styles of fermentation lids and this one really stood out for the ease of getting the lid back off with the built in grip tabs. There was some negative reviews regarding using the air removal tool but I found that it was a great tool for removing air. I would put the tool into place, suck the air out, remove it and return the plunger to down position and put back into the lid to remove air again. I did this 3-4 times and you could feel the air come out as it got harder with each use. I removed the lid daily to mash the sauerkraut back down since I didn’t have a weight for my jars and my kraut turned out perfect! Great Quality and overall extremely satisfied with this purchase.

I LOVE these lids. I purchased a nearly identical lid a year ago that has a slightly better 'date dial' in that it is more secure and less likely to get shifted than these. Other than that, these are literally a must have for fermentation aficionados. The fact that they come with a pump to remove oxygen when you pop the lids to check your ferments is a big bonus.I've never had an issue with fungus nor mold in my ferments using these lids as long as I pay attention to things like removing air if I take the lids off for checking.The only downside is the aforementioned loose date dial and the rubber seals pickup the odours of the ferment.

I first bought another similar system like these but they were on backorder so I settled for these. I wasn't disappointed with these by no means. They performed like they were suppose to and I actually liked the lids a bit better with these because they are more transparent then my solid black ones. I do wish the pumps they send with all these kits were of a better quality though. Pumps in both kits are very cheap and perform cheaply too. I'm always afraid I'm going to break them. Still they got my peppers fermented and made me a could sauce that'll keep for awhile.
