Reviews

I am pleased with the quality of the wooden stomper/wooden pounder that I got from this store. It doesn't feel cheap at all. I'll try to update this review after I've used it to make sauerkraut. On the other hand, I think they need to work on packaging their stuff a little better next time.

I'm pretty sure this infuser is nicer than anything I could have purchased through that online retailer that begins with an "A." In fact, I do have some coffee-cup sized infusers from the other retailer that are good enough, but I have to be careful when cleaning them because there is a sharp edge inside and I've nicked my fingers several times. Not so with this one! That was the first thing I checked for when I took this infuser out of the box and I couldn't find any sharp edges at all. And the mesh is so fine, when I made my first jar of tea, no sediment got through at all. I haven't made cold brew coffee yet but I look forward to equally stellar results.

Much better than the ones I remember from decades ago! Opens and closes easily, and holds the cake of soap out if the way, perched on its stand - great modification. The soap will last longer than it would lying in a messy soap dish. And plastic-free!
I’m so pleased!

This is the best cheesecloth I have ever owned! Extremely fast shipping

Wonderful for making sauerkraut and pickles .

These are high quality stainless steel lids.

Just got my yogurt maker and an extra jar. While I have not used the product yet I have to say it is a nice looking item. It came in perfect shape and very nicely packaged with clear instructions. Can't wait to give this item pride of place in my kitchen. Love that it is non-electric. I eat yogurt every day so this is money well spent.

This little yogurt maker is perfect for taking it with us on our summer camping trips. I used it for the first time last night, and the yogurt came out just right. So easy.

I like bought these as a present for my husband and he loves these, he said that they definitely make his fermenting process much easier, like OMG my husband is really picky with receiving his gifts so I was so surprised when he went absolutely wild for these glass weights. Also the craftsmanship is amazing I had been reading reviews from another site that had the same kind of product, but there were a bunch of disatisfied reviews talking about cracks and chips and things like that. I'm so happy I chose CountryTradingCo for my fermenting tools.

The weight of these is sufficient to keep the veggies below the brine surface in wide mouth Mason jars. The raised handle makes it easy to retrieve the weights; the glass is smooth and easy to clean. If I need more in the future, I will purchase from Country Trading Co. The notifications of shipping and speedy delivery were much appreciated.

I have been searching for the highest quality cheesecloth for squeezing every last drop out of our homegrown elderberries.... and I finally found it. Others I used before had a terrible smell when I received them, and even after washing thoroughly, they would continue to turn clean water into murky water. I have only purchased "organic" cotton before, but finally found cotton grown in the USA. the quality of this cheesecloth far exceded my expectations. No odor at all. Highest quality fibers (no tiny specs of fibers breaking off into my elderberry syrup!), ingenious hemmed design with just the right thickness, and strong enough to be used over and over and over again with SERIOUS squeezing and pressing each time. These are my new "go to" cheesecloths from now on!

Great product and extremely fast shipping. I always buy from small local shops.

I was excited to get my yogurt making set in a very timely manner. My happiness was short lived however when I broke the jar trying to get the metal top off. Country Trading made it right by replacing the jar. I am grateful and very pleased with my first batch of yogurt.

I like the sustainable nature of this product but it is pricey... Seems like good quality, but I just got them!

I love these airlock lids ,I am new to fermenting and these lids are a game changer, I received my order within a couple of days after placing my order.

Does the trick! Very simple to use, made some wonderfully creamy, tangy dairy yogurt on the first try. The recipe book has a lot of great info and ideas. Can’t wait to try a plant based recipe next. Highly recommend!

"Elly’s Everyday Soapmaking" You Tube channel was a source of information about this item. My shaker was delivered fast, packaging was nice, no damages. Looks great and works great too. Nice addition to my kitchen! I am using it with my own homemade soap.

I made my yogurt with lactose free milk since that is what I had in the fridge. The directions are very easy to follow. Eight hours later the bottle went in the fridge. Next morning I had delicious yogurt, thick and creamy texture. Surprised me beyond my expectation. I divided the yogurt in two jars. One plain for me and one with vanilla, cinnamon and honey for my husband. Yum!

Perfect for fermenting. Exactly what I needed. Easy to use, easy to clean. I really appreciate the plastic free packaging as well.

Enjoyed the non-electric yogurt maker —- fewer EMFs in this epidemic time.

Y'all had exactly what I was looking for my tabasco pepper and habanero canning. Your website is easy to navigate and your company seems very customer friendly. I hope Country Trading continues to be successful and y'all possibly expand your inventory variety in the future. Thank you.

The best cloth I ever owned

I love how this yogurt maker looks ! I don't have to hide it away in a cabinet where it will sit, begging to be used. And absolutely love the small vertical footprint. A whole quart of creamy, delicious home made yogurt in an 5"x10" space ! Pricey, but no regrets here :)

I have used the yogurt maker about 4 times now, and each time the end product is as expected. I have only used whole dairy milk, and to get the thicker consistency I want, I drain about a cup of the whey after the 8 hour set-time, using a cheesecloth. The initial process takes about a half hour, including cleaning up the dishes. I also place the whole unit into a small cooler just to keep the air consistent around the container. The flavor is very good.

I have only tried my yogurt maker once but the finished product was thin and didn't really taste at all like yogurt. I used pure oat milk but apparently it is difficult to actually make vegan yogurt. I'm not sure if I would have been better off with an electric maker as maybe it needed to be warmer but I will try again with a different plant based milk and hope for a better outcome.
