> 3 dayThings I love: Stainless, wont rust, no plastic Domed strainer, helps them drain better Dishwasher safe Alternative silicone top for refrigeration I just ordered a second set since I want to grow more sprouts. I had some quart Ball jars that are amber and dont have to cover them with a towel or put them in a cupboard! Just on the counter to remind me to rinse them 3-4 times a day. I do before/after meals and before bed, so its not time consuming. I transfer them to the clear ball quart jars on the last day to put in the window for greening, and store them in that jar. Today I got some citric acid (like I used to use for canning tomatoes) and will soak and rinse with that to keep them from getting moldy. 1 tsp per quart of water for the overnight soak and rinse. I wont rise it every time with the citric, but once a day and the soaking and last rinse before refrigeration. Not that they were getting moldy, but in the summer that will be a risk. I have also ordered the rack that tilts them but it hasnt arrived yet. That will make it perfect if it works well. I originally ordered Now Foods broccoli and mung sprouts, though they arent organic, they are meant for sprouting. They worked extremely well, full jars of sprouts. Next Ill try organic lentils (regular, not for sprouting) and see how that turns out. The sprouting seeds are more expensive, so Im hoping the regular organic versions will also sprout as well. Organic cant be treated, so as long as they are fresh, it should work. Ive been eating sprouts every day, since I like them, nice and fresh. I use a quart jar within 2-3 days. The mung are better for stir fry and the broccoli for sandwiches and salads instead of lettuce. Nice and crunchy.

Greater than one weekI gave 3 stars because the product itself is of a high quality and they perform their function nicely. They seem like theyll last a long time. BUT.... the product came missing one of the stainless steel rings that hold the screen on. When I inquired about this they said I had to pack the item back up and send it all back to them and only then will they send me a new one. This product cost 9$ and theres no way Im going through all that hassle with the costs required to ship this back to them the gas money and box and postage is way over 9$ for me... this is ridiculous.... So now I just have to deal with it and I paid for a set of 4 and only recieved 3 and thats my problem not theirs....

> 3 dayThis mesh rid is perfect for the purpose. I grow broccoli sprouts. The seeds are very small but the mesh is small enough.

Greater than one weekI like them a lot. Very nice quality. I didnt realize there were domed. I flip the dome toward the inside of the jar to be able to use it for sprouts so itll stay on the draining stand.

> 3 dayThese sprouting lids are quality, have not rusted, and are easy use and easy to clean. They hold up in the dishwasher to sterilize them.
