Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sprouting Screen
Customer Review: Terrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
I cannot recommend this product. I bought a few, excited to try my hand at sprouting.
Well, today is the 3rd day, and the sprouts have been doing well! The alfalfa outgrew the clover and mung beans, so I decided to harvest some of it. Imagine my disgust when I unscrewed the lid and found that the screen had turned black along the edge! I wouldn't call it rust -- it's not red -- more like some less-friendly oxidation. (Nickel? Chromium?) And the black wasn't just some surface-finish, but a fine powder. I tried eating some of the sprouts, but couldn't, because they had a very strong metallic taste. Possibly poisonous, but definitely not wholesome. What a waste of my first batch of sprouts.
I won't be deterred from this little hobby, but I'm going to pick up some of the plastic perforated lids instead.
Notes: The edges are rough-cut, not finished or folded over. Also, if you do decide to ignore my recommendation and buy this product, it is designed to fit a widemouth jar.
Description of Sprouting Screen
Stainless Steel Screen. Fits a wide mouth mason jar. The screen does not rust - what rusts is the metal rim that screws onto the jar. The metal rim is made of an alloy that contains metals which rust. Use a little bit of olive oil on the rim to protect the screen from the alloy metals.Cook's Tools & Gadgets
