Product description
Pickle Pipes are simply the perfect toppers for home vegetable fermentation. They feature one-way airlocks that vent gas automatically so they require no burping or babysitting. They prevent spoilage by releasing the gas that builds up during the fermentation process while preventing oxygen and airborne contaminants from getting inside. So they're the ideal lids for beginning home fermenters and old pros alike. They are made of high grade BPA-free and and contain no phthalates, so you can be sure they're food safe. They wash up with soap and water, or go right into the dishwasher along with the jars. Unlike the water venting types - which can be several inches taller - they are maintenance-free and their low-profile design makes them easy to store in cupboards and drawers. So don't waste money on expensive and ineffective probiotic supplements when you can improve your gut health economically at home by making your own delicious ferments. Our Pickle Pipes make it painless to ferment your own probiotic-rich sauerkraut, kimchi, carrots, tomatoes, garlic, radishes and more! They fermentation toppers make pickling "set it and forget it" simple.

Pickle pipes.
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2025Size: Wide Mouth 4PKExcellent product. Perfect for fermentation. Extremely durable and work fantastic. Will definitely be purchasing more of these.
They are a bit expensive for 4 of them. But they are easy to use and have made fermenting foods easier, as the jars burp themselves.

I purchased more!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2026Size: Wide Mouth 4PKThis is my 2nd order of these as I was fermenting some spicy kimchi and realized I need more lids to ferment garlic and some other things and I didn't think about using another brand - Masontops are top quality at a fair price. These lids make it so easy to leave and forget it for a few days/weeks as you don't need to manually burp your jars. The only suggestion I have is to put the jars in a container or on a rag as sometimes when they do release air a small amount of your liquid comes out as well and it will leak down the side of the jar. But for the ease of using and being able to go out of town for a few days and still ferment, that is well worth the price of a little preparation for my countertops.

The Best but Expensive
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020Size: Wide Mouth 4PKI've been fermenting quite a bit. I have had failures with water-airlocks, but never a failed ferment with these. Not to say it can't happen, but if you pick your produce well and chemical-free, no-wax, and if you sanitize your jar, weight and top, these tops clearly minimize chances for failed fermentation.
Pros: Easiest to use, easiest to clean, sturdy and flexible material, consistently great quality.
Cons: Really expensive for 4 slabs of silicone sold in a cheap plastic container.
Tip: I spray my jars, weights and lids and airlocks with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to sanitize them. Mist them all over and let them sit in it for 15 to 20 seconds, then rinse in distilled or filtered water. Tap water can kill your ferment, folks! I've learned to make my brine in a big pyrex measuring bowl. I weigh 7 grams or one level teaspoon of kosher salt or pickling salt into each cup of filtered water. I make extra brine, usually a quart, because I'd rather have too much than too little brine. I layer my veggies, herbs & spices, leaving lots of room at the top of the jar! place my weight, then add the brine very slowly to cover it all! Pouring slowly pretty well stops air bubbles from getting trapped under the veggies. I only use plastic utensils to stir the brine, and I'm sure wood works too, but they tell us not to use metal in our ferment because metal has antibacterial qualities. It's fine to use a metal Mason jar ring outside over the Pickle Pipes to hold them down.
Good luck with your ferments!

tankgirl5 out of 5 starsVerified PurchaseThese work great for fermenting!
Reviewed in Canada on July 19, 2025Size: Small MouthThese fermenting lids work great. I have a set of the wide mouth jar ones and they work so well that I purchased these regular mouth jar ones. Currently being used for my fermented ketchup that has a tendency to burn it a regular jar lid is even slightly too tight. Since they are silicone, they are non staining and I don't have to worry about outgassing or the acidy ferments damaging them and ruining my fermenting. They are way easier to use than standard fermenting lids. If I am making multiple versions of a certain ferment I can colour code it with the coloured lids based on the recipe I am using.
Highly recommend.
