How the Five Compare on the Numbers
A pickle weight lives in a drawer between batches, so the figure a reader needs is the size of the disc. The trouble is that most of these listings publish a diameter for the jar instead, in the same sentence and in the same breath, and a jar figure cannot tell you whether four discs will lie flat under a drawer runner.
Only Yesland publishes both numbers for the weight itself. Xileanalee publishes a height for the disc and a diameter for the jar. Elementi publishes two diameters and labels which is which. Masontops publishes no stated figure at all and leaves three dimension fields that cannot be inches. Honeydak publishes nothing for the weight and a box no utensil drawer takes.
What the table cannot tell you is how tall a stack of four is, because only two of these five publish a height for one disc and neither says whether the grip adds to it. The box figures are the nearest substitute and they are not equivalent: the Elementi box is published at 6.57 in on one side for four weights, while the Xileanalee box for four is published at 1 in.
Which Number Belongs to the Disc
Yesland Is the Only Pick That Measures the Weight Twice
Yesland publishes the complete answer in one line. Its value pack bullet states a size of 2-3/4 inches in diameter and 1 inch in height, and that each weight is 7 oz, which it also gives as 200 g. Nothing else in this group publishes a diameter and a height for the disc itself, and on a drawer axis that is the whole of the question.
It supplies nine weights, more than any other pick here, and states an upgraded knob handle it describes as a bulge that works whether a hand is dry, wet or halfway down a jar. Its box is published at 2.36 by 2.36 by 0.79 in, which is smaller than one of its own discs, so that figure cannot be the carton for nine of them.
Xileanalee Gives the Height and the Wrong Diameter
Xileanalee publishes half of what Yesland does and labels it in a way that is easy to misread. Its size bullet says the weights are designed for 2.75 inch diameter jars, then gives 0.8 inch height and 7 ounce each in brackets. The height and the mass are the disc. The 2.75 inch figure is the jar, and a reader skimming would file it as the weight.
Its box is the useful figure instead, published at 3 by 3 by 1 in for four weights, which is the only box in this group that reads like a drawer measurement. It states soda lime glass, dishwasher safe, an easy grip handle and that a weight too deep in a jar is retrievable with a fork. It publishes 1.85 lb for the set.
Two Diameters and No Height
Elementi Labels Both Figures and Measures Neither Side
Elementi is the only pick that publishes two diameters and says which is which. Its fit bullet states a 2.7 inch diameter compatible with all brands of wide mouth mason jar, and then that it fits 3.38 inch wide mouth jars, so the first figure is the disc and the second is the mouth it drops through. That is clearer labeling than anything else here.
What it never publishes is a height or a mass for one weight, so the drawer question is left open. Its box figure is no help either, published at 3.62 by 3.46 by 6.57 in for four weights, which is taller than most utensil drawers are deep. It states soda lime glass, top rack or hand washing, and 1.6 lb for the set of four.
Masontops Publishes No Stated Figure at All
Masontops is the best known name in this group and the least measured. Across five bullets it states soda lime glass, a patented finger grip you pinch to lift, a choice between wide mouth and regular mouth, and hand washing or the top rack. There is no diameter, no height, no mass per weight and no box figure anywhere in the listing.
What it does leave is three dimension fields reading 100 by 100 by 50, and those cannot be inches on a jar weight. Read as millimeters they are a sensible disc, which is what the fact sheet flags them as, but nothing in the maker’s own words confirms it. This page treats them as unusable and ranks nothing on them. It publishes 3.31 lb for eight pebbles.
The Purchase a Drawer Cannot Take
Honeydak Ships Six Jars With the Weights
Honeydak is the odd one here and worth including for exactly that reason. Its package bullet states six fermenting jars, six stainless steel lids with silicone rings, six fermenting weights, six airlocks, six silicone grommets, six label stickers and one marking pen, with a jar capacity of 24 oz which it also gives as 700 ml.
None of that is a drawer purchase. It publishes 9.92 lb, the heaviest here against 1.6 lb on the Elementi set, and a box of 12.01 by 15.75 by 6.5 in, and it publishes no figure of any kind for the weight inside. A reader who already owns jars is buying six of them again, and a reader with a shallow drawer has nowhere to put them.
Where the Published Figures Argue With the Words
Two weight figures here cannot be right. Yesland publishes 0.44 lb for a pack of nine weights its own bullet says are 7 oz each, and nine of those cannot come to under half a pound. The figure reads like the mass of one disc filed as the mass of the pack, and this page quotes the maker’s 7 oz instead.
The Yesland box is the second case, published at 2.36 by 2.36 by 0.79 in against a disc its own sentence measures at 2.75 inches across and 1 inch high. A box cannot be narrower and shallower than one of the nine things in it. No ranking on this page rests on either figure, and the Masontops fields are set aside the same way.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
You want to know what goes in the drawer. Yesland publishes 2-3/4 inches across and 1 inch high for the disc itself, at 7 oz each, with nine in the pack and a knob handle for wet hands. It is the only pick measuring the weight twice.
You want a box you can measure. Xileanalee publishes 3 by 3 by 1 in for four weights, with 0.8 inch height and 7 ounce each for the disc, and dishwasher safe soda lime glass. Its 2.75 inch figure is the jar.
You want to know which figure is which. Elementi publishes 2.7 inches for the weight and 3.38 inches for the jar mouth, labeled separately, on soda lime glass rated for the top rack. It publishes no height.
You want the patented grip. Masontops publishes a finger grip you pinch, soda lime glass, a wide mouth and a regular mouth option, and 3.31 lb for eight pebbles. It publishes no stated size at all.
You do not own the jars yet. Honeydak publishes six 24 oz jars with lids, weights, airlocks, grommets, stickers and a pen, at 9.92 lb in a box of 12.01 by 15.75 by 6.5 in. Nothing about it is drawer sized.
What We Could Not Verify
Six things a reader storing pickle weights in a drawer would want, and no listing among these five supplies.
- A height for one disc from Elementi, Masontops or Honeydak, where two of these five publish one.
- Whether the published height on any pick includes the grip or stops at the glass.
- Any stated figure at all from Masontops, whose only numbers are three dimension fields.
- What the Yesland 0.44 lb field measures, since nine weights of 7 oz cannot come to it.
- What the Yesland box figure of 2.36 by 2.36 by 0.79 in contains, since it is smaller than one disc.
- Any figure for the weight inside the Honeydak kit, where only the jars are measured.
