Reasons why the Pickle Pusher is superior to other weight systems:

Glass or other solid type weights can:

Sink! They rely on the fermenting contents for support!
Crack! This leads to harmful fragments in your foods
Fit very sloppily! Lots of room for floaties to get to the surface!
Rocks could contain harmful minerals that could leach into your foods!

Cabbage leaves stuffed on top of ferment:

Work well until CO2 relocates them
Could add unwanted flavor to ferment.
Because they are organic, they are susceptible to mold should they lose brine coverage!
Hold very little if any downward pressure on contents below them!

Plastic "baggies" on top of ferments with or without airlock and lid can:

Sink! They rely on the fermenting contents for support!
Leak! Causing dilution of your brine your foods
Become rather messy to handle when working your ferment

The Pickle Pusher:

Can not sink or move from it's inserted position due to the adjusting rod! It does not rely on the fermenting contents for support!
Can not crack or chip!
Specifically designed to fit the wide mouth mason jar and fits perfectly to allow CO2 escape and keep your floaties below the brine!
Is made from silicone and stainless steel which do not favor mold growth! Very easy to sanitize! Can be boiled!
