Amytalk Plastic Sprouting Lids, Sprouting Jar Strainer Lid, for Wide Mouth Mason Jars, Canning Jars, Suit for Grow Bean Sprouts, Alfalfa, Salad Sprouts etc.

I wanted to try sprouting but wanted to use plastic instead of metal lids as I was worried about rust. These are great. Very sturdy and they hold up to scrubbing. I kept 6 and gave 6 to a friend. They fit wide-mouth jars perfectly.

As described. Arrived on time. Quality product.

I was up in the air over these over my traditional sprouter systems (yes, I have 2 other types one 3 tray and one 4 tray). These take simple and easy to a new level. I love that I can do everything in the jar and then once they are sprouted take the jar to work and keep it in the fridge and use them as I want (just do the same fill with water and drain once a day and they stay fresh and crisp for a week). They are inexpensive and last forever, no rust no-fuss, unlike the metal style. The only caveat is that you don't try to over tighten them (you're NOT trying to make seal-like canning here and it's not like tightening the prop nut on the Queen Mary). Combine these with your own wide mouth jars, both 16 and 32 oz work well and spring for these holders "CASAFE+ R18-0029 " which are WAY better than the foldable ones as they catch any excess drips on their own. and you're golden.

The seeds that are sprouted in these grow very well if tended very day. The sprouts tend to grow into the holes of the lid, have to take off the lid to get water into the jar to rinse the seeds - doesn't go thru the lid very well, and the water doesn't drain out very well either.

I love these lids. They fit my Ball mason jars perfectly and I strain my herbal tinctures through these reusable lids into the reusable coffee strainer baskets. These are amazing for my bigger roots and leaves but I use them to strain my powdered herbs too. I have to admit I know nothing about sprouting yet, but I do know about straining my herbs. These lids are easy to clean and I would recommend them to any one who tinctures herbs. F.Y.I. I was not given these lids and I was not bribed or paid for this review!
