IMPORTANT — JAR COMPATIBILITY
This Lid Kit is designed exclusively for genuine Bormioli Rocco Fido jars, sizes 500 mL through 5 L. It replaces the original Fido lid.
Other brands are not compatible, even if they appear identical. Please verify your jar's brand and size before ordering.
This lid kit turns your Fido Jar into a Probiotic Jar System and creates delicious probiotic food in as little as a week (see recipes for specific time frames).
Step #1 Prepare the vegetables (peel, slice, dice) and put in the Jar
Step #2 Mix and add the brine, and place the Brine Bowl
Step #3 Lock the Lid, add water to the Airlock, and twist into place
Complete instructions are found in the Quick Start Guide. A printed copy comes at no extra charge with every order that includes a Probiotic Jar or Lid Kit.

Lid Kit
I really llke having extra Probiotic Jar Fido jar lids, around, since I also use Fido Jars as kitchen cannisters, if i ever need another Jar for fermenting, I can just grab a kitchen cannister jar, put a Probiotic Jar fermenting lid on, and "Voila" problem solved.

Spare parts
I am a Goodwill shopper and have been able to find Fido jars there, with regular tops, cheap. The solid lids are great for when my ferments are ready for the refrigerator, freeing up my fermenting tops with the gasket for the water locks. But sometimes due to staggered timing, I was finding all my (3) gasket tops in use! I needed a couple more and was so pleased to be able to just get the tops and pinch bowls from the website. I ordered some new rings for the Goodwill tops and now I'm all set. Even though I didn't order it, there was a bamboo tongs in the package. It's great to have those serve the kraut, especially from deep in the tall jars. Thank you for that!

thanks
Slam dunk best way to ferment, so easy and correct and versatile in sizing, everything from 0.5L to 5L. I have standardized on Probiotic Jar and Fidos.

fits on my other jars
I appreciate that one can just buy the lid system, because I have dozens of 1.5 liter jars already. It is very easy to switch out the lids with these. Great!

great so far
I had tried making kefir in a mason jar with a loosened lid, but was having reactions. I gave it up for months, then decided to try again with this lid/fido jar. So far, no reactions! And the grains developed much more quickly this time. This is now the only way I will make kefir.

Good Quality, but Missing Items and Instructions
Would be 5 Star but I did not receive the sample salt packet, nor the black plug for the lid hole (to be used for transport, as described in your videos). However it did not bother me enough to complain bc I appreciate the quality of the lid itself. A little pricy at $34 for the lid, wish the pamphlet/recipe guide that came in it’s was more comprehensive or better quality. It was hard to follow how to get started bc the 2 recipes included weren’t detailed enough. Also I wish there was a discount option for ordering something like 3-5 lids without any jars.

Excellent Lid Kit Quality

Good Addition to My Health Program
Being that I had a number of Fido Jars The Probiotic Lid Kit is perfect for my future HEATH PLAN, therefore I give the product five star without question.
