Glass fermentation insert for pickling Tescoma TESC-FO-01-17 (model 895328.00)

Glass fermentation insert designed for pickling and fermenting vegetables and fruits. The Tescoma glass insert is made of smooth, non-reactive glass that provides a hygienic surface ideal for lactic fermentation. It is intended to be placed inside compatible jars or fermenting containers to keep produce submerged and to help maintain an even fermentation environment for sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi and other fermented foods.

Advantages

The glass construction is non-porous and does not absorb odors or colors, which preserves the natural taste and appearance of fermented foods. Its smooth surface is easy to clean by hand or in a dishwasher and resists staining and corrosion. Being made of glass, the insert does not react with acidic brines, ensuring safe contact with food throughout the fermentation process. The circular shape and weight distribution help to keep vegetables fully submerged for consistent fermentation.

Suitable for

• Home fermentation of cabbage, cucumbers, carrots and other vegetables
• Preparing kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled vegetables and fruit preserves
• Use inside compatible glass jars or fermenting crocks to hold produce under brine
• Short-term fermentations and controlled room-temperature fermenting

Key specifications

• Material: Non-reactive glass suitable for food contact
• Function: Keeps produce submerged under brine during fermentation
• Shape: Circular insert designed to fit compatible jars and containers
• Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe and easy to hand wash
• Durability: Resistant to staining and acid corrosion under normal use

How to use

Place the glass insert on top of the prepared vegetables in a compatible jar or crock so that it presses the produce below the brine level. Adjust the amount of weight or add additional clean objects if needed to ensure full submersion. Monitor the fermentation periodically to check for proper brine coverage and remove any surface scum. After use, rinse the insert and wash according to the container’s care instructions; allow to dry fully before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use only with jars or crocks that provide a stable fit for the insert. Inspect the glass for chips or cracks before each use and avoid extreme temperature shocks to prevent breakage. Store in a dry place away from heavy impact and follow standard food safety practices for fermentation, such as using clean utensils and fresh ingredients.
