I use a mason jar. Which specific product should I get?
(there are some reports of issues with this)

Get a borosilicate 'Erlenmeyer' conical flask (or two. Or three...) first, otherwise you are asking for trouble. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Narrow mouth?
Is there a pressure release that is better than the ziplock bag with the rubber ring for this container?
What stirrer for this?

One would have thought one point of using a magnetic stirrer is that you don't need to shake the flask, hence no need for pressure relief as it's open anyhow. Can be closed temporarily with parafilm if necessary, or get some silicone bungs. Sorry I've no recommendations on the brand/model of stirrer per se “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.

Corning. they make tanks, metaphorically-speaking. can't go wrong with Fisher-Scientific either. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

I have a Bibby from the UK. I bought it because I'm in 230V land, and it was big and relatively cheap. No problems with it so far, and I can easily do a 3-4 liter extraction at a time. I've been using it for all kinds of things like making yogurt, water bath for agar bottles, candying fruit, and what the hell ever else. I love molecular gastronomy, which is a good alternative use for all the lab equipment I have in my kitchen. Do you believe in the THIRD SUMMER OF LOVE?
