Product Description
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.

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.

I don't know if it is the ring causing the rust or the sprouting screen(probably is the ring but I dont have anything else to use with it), but mine also rusted around the edges the first use and was dripping brown liquid when draining. I also bought some plastic screw on lids and I prefer those now. The seller did ship very fast though. They should sell these with a stainless screw on ring to go with it.

this screen is the perfect size,even for smaller seeds.they are also a great way to reuse old canning jars for other purpose.why buy an expensive seed sprouter when you can reuse items around the house.this is the second one i bought.and i will buy more.it fits large mouth jars nicely,and stainless steel means "it won't rust". the only items you need to for great tasting sprouts are seeds,jar,screen and water, and in a few days you get.......FOOD.

Great product.
My product did rust a little bit, NOT a big deal, lol. I love this product, I bought 6 because I also purchased 6, 64oz mason jars. I sprouted alfalfa and mung beans so far. Read more

Works well for the price. Screen does rust a bit but scrubbing with steel wool takes care of the problem.

Sprout Screen does the job
This sprout screen works great. I have sprouted lentils, mung bean, and soy beans so far with it. The holes seem small enough to sprout smaller seeds like alfalfa, but I haven't... Read more

Nice Product
This is good for sprouting grains and beans. I ended up getting the plastic kind as well because these began to rust just after a few uses, even with drying them. Read more

Screen for Beans
Great idea and works well for mung beans using a one-qt. jar. I just wish the screw-on cap wouldn't rust.
