Is this Fermentation Jar Press worth it for making small-batch kimchi?

I frequently make small batches of kimchi at home and struggle to keep the cabbage leaves from floating above the brine. Would this tool be reliable enough to keep everything down?

Yes, it is an essential addition for small-batch vegetable preservation. When fermenting vegetables, exposure to ambient air is the primary cause of mold growth, and utilizing the Fermentation Jar Press and Pickling Weight Tool ensures constant downward pressure that locks your vegetables firmly beneath the brine line. It eliminates the need for improvised weights and provides consistent, safe anaerobic fermentation results for any home cook.
