They wouldn't work for finely cut or mashed vegetables, such as sauerkraut or salsa. They work in any wide-mouth jar that flares out below the neck. That includes the most common types of quart and half-gallon wide-mouth jars. I don't think they'd work in the tall types of wide-mount pint jars that taper inward towards the bottom instead of flaring outward below the neck. The Canning Buddies hold themselves in the neck by pushing outwards just above and below the narrowest part of the neck. They don't rely on the food to push them up, or on the lid to push them down. Forget the applicator - you don't need it. With a bit of practice these become second nature to insert with just your hands: put one side of the Canning Buddy in the neck of the jar and hold it there with two fingers. Then push the other side down into the neck with your other hand. I recommend running them under hot water before folding them the first time, to reduce stress in the plastic at the folds. Without doing that, I'm afraid the plastic will weaken and eventually break at the folds. After repeated use they mostly hold their shape. Insert them into the jars before adding the brine, and you won't get your fingers in the brine. I've used these for a few years now on many jars of lacto-fermented cucumber pickles, carrots, and kimchi. They barely pick up any odor from the food, they are fairly easy to wash, and they seem to be holding up to repeated use. They have picked up some color from the food. I use Canning Buddies to keep foods below the brine, silicone lid inserts with pinholes to act as airlocks and keep out the oxygen, a mini-fridge as my fermentation chamber, a temperature controller , and a heater . I've yet to have a bad batch. Review: The best option available - If you do fermenting or canning, you are always told to leave a gap at the top for expansion, and to keep all of the product submerged. The typical way to do this is with a weight of some sort. A clean rock. Glass weights specially made. Bags of water. One problem with all of them is that they take up valuable space... often that expansion space. The ViscoDisk Cannin Buddies work great. They take up virtually no room in the jar, and keep the product submerged. I use them all of the time and highly recommend them. ## Features - ISO 22 000>ViscoDisc inserts are manufactured to an ISO 22 000 standard in an ISO 22 000 certified factory - Fermentation Gate>It locks securely into the neck of the jar - Increased Shelf Life>The ViscoDisc dramatically improves the shelf life of your produce - Canning Buddy>It ensures consistent and uniform fill levels - Easy Drainage>You can use it as a liquid draining device, no more splashes and stains - It is recyclable - Wild Fermentation Device - Lactic Acid Preserving - Reusable if handled with care ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #105,022 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #641 in Canning Jars | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 196 Reviews | ## Images ![Home Bottling Wide Mouth Mason Jar Inserts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715ztdrldwL.jpg) ![Home Bottling Wide Mouth Mason Jar Inserts - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yGEbVbgyL.jpg) ![Home Bottling Wide Mouth Mason Jar Inserts - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81n0KqmMQML.jpg) ![Home Bottling Wide Mouth Mason Jar Inserts - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815frSgVh6L.jpg) ![Home Bottling Wide Mouth Mason Jar Inserts - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fhynPUBNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would these work in a bottle with a 4" mouth?** A: There are 2 different size discs. One is made for wide mouth canning jars and the other is made for regular size canning jars. Your 4" mouth bottle most likely will not work with either of these. They rely on the sides of the jar folding in the wings and holding the screen portion in place to trap any floaties. Perhaps someone else will have tried and be able to give you a better answer. **Q: Are they reuseable? Or are they a "one and done" item. Thx** A: They are absolutely reusable. They are made of a very high quality HDPE and can be washed and used again and again. **Q: Where can I buy the hand inserter for the canning buddies** A: I just use an 8-ounce regular mouth jar to push them in. Don't know where to get the actual inserter. **Q: So how do you get them out?** A: Just bend the sides up and pull!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for most wide-mouth jars *by J***B on June 24, 2017* These work well for pickling of almost any vegetable that you cut into chunks.

You can see the picture a relish kimchi is fully submerged in the brine only using the viscodisc. ## Frequently Bought Together - ViscoDisc Home Bottling Wide Mouth Mason Jar Inserts - ViscoDisc Home Bottling - Regular Mouth Mason Jar Inserts - Mrs. Wages Pickle Mix, Xtra Crunch, Easy-To-Use, Fast Results, Great Taste & Crispness, Ensures Crunchiness, 5.5 oz Jar (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/34980315-home-bottling-wide-mouth-mason-jar-inserts](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/34980315-home-bottling-wide-mouth-mason-jar-inserts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
