These work great for holding down ingrediants for fermenting.
I make a whole range of hot pepper sauces and I couldn't find the right size fermenting weight for a 1 Gallon glass jar. Or the weights were just ridiculously expensive. From the pictures these looked roughly the right size, were made out of silicone, were flexible, had holes to allow gasses to go through but small enough to hold contents down. So I figured I'd give it a shot cause worst case I have drains here too. Well, they work great for this purpose. I just run them through the dishwasher first, then use them in my fermentors.
