Product:

A snug-fitting yet removable strainer screen with a plastic lid band for your jar. Switch it out with
other sizes and materials for custom, easy straining, clean-up and space-saving storage. Plastic
lid band eliminates rust problems and is more durable than the standard tin canning lid bands*.
Dishwasher safe. Do not boil (it can shrink up to 1/4"), use other natural methods like vinegar or
sunlight for alternative sterilization instead.

*Please be aware that standard tin canning lids eventually rust, due to exposure to moisture, acids,
and other metals (galvanic reaction). You may use our stainless steel screens with those bands,
but the tin band will leach rust onto the screen. We highly recommend our polypropylene or
silicone screens for use with a standard tin lid band (if you are not using the plastic band).

Polypropylene is much more resistant to acids than nylon and has no known
hazardous chemicals (like bpa, yet atleast!). Many containers carrying food are now
made of polypropylene. Besides not being as prone to leach with acids, it is also
more durable when wet than nylon- making it perfect for straining.

with wide mouth lid canning jars.
Mesh size: Large. Our most open weave, suited for quickest
straining of large cultures (like big milk grains or kombucha
scobies. Not suitable for ginger beer plant. For sprouting this is
ideal for medium and large beans, chaffing off hulls and increasing
breathability..
