Quality for generations Review by Dani

I invested in the 7.5 L crock for my pickles, and it is just beautiful. Like my best stoneware and cast iron, I know I will have this for the rest of my life and eventually pass it to my children. It makes fermentation incredibly easy. It isn't cheap, but if you appreciate quality, this is the crock for you. Be aware it is very heavy. When it is full, I cannot lift it well, so I have to have it in its final resting place to fill it or my husband has to help me pick it up. But the design is brilliant in its simplicity and quality is worth every penny. I can't wait for the sales on organic cabbage for St. Patrick's in a few weeks! My supply is too low already.

The best thing I have bought for my kitchen in years. Review by Bonnie

I bought this crock in order to save all those
cabbages we get from the garden each year and for my husband. He likes sauerkraut but I never did until
I tasted it raw right out of the crock. Now we are
both happy.I plan on ordering another soon. The price is a little high, so hopefully it will last. (Posted on August 2, 2012)

this one is the best! Review by JohnCole

We have had the unit for three months now and it has performed superbly. The lip for water addition without opening the unit is a plus. The weight fits so well that nothing slides out from under it. The water seal solves so many of the typical challanges we face. This system is terrific compared to other systems we have tried. Using Enagic Kangen Water with the unit has improved the end result too. This one gets an A+, highly recommended. (Posted on May 23, 2012)

I love my crock pot Review by ME

I bought 5 liter pot 2 years ago. Although the price for this pot is the highest of what I found on Internet, the advantage that the pot is coming with perfectly fitting weights is unbeatable. Once you fill up the pot and put the weights on your only worry is keeping the water around the lid, otherwise everything goes bad. It happened to me once. Since that time I very lightly cover the lid with plastic wrap leaving just few openings so that "pot can breath" and water does not evaporate so fast. The resulting sauerkraut is awesome, incomparable with kraut from stores. And comes so much cheaper! Twice a year you get even organic cabbage for peanuts (St. Patrick's day and fall harvest). Since I cook with sauerkraut often and I like it also eating raw, I realized that I should buy a little bit larger size. When buying pot, you have to consider your individual possibilities. Larger pots once filled up are quite heavy and the larger size might be more difficult to clean well. You also have to weigh your storage possibilities: If you have a really cool place where to keep sauerkraut in the pot all the time or if after fermentation is finished you will store sauerkraut in jars in refrigerator.
The pot has decorative country look.
I have only one critical reminder: The glazing on outside of pot is very soft. I rinse my pot with the hose outdoor and let it air dry. Although I turned pot very gently on concrete walkway the glazing on the surface started finely crushing. (Posted on March 26, 2012)

I absolutely ADORE these crocks! They solved a very significant problem I was having -- exploding kimchi jars in the basement so stinky that my husband banned me from fermenting ANYTHING... That is, until I found these lovelies. I was so impressed with my ten-liter crock, I bought two more. My first batch of cranberry-studded sauerkraut made all the hassles and expense of shipping worth it. One of them is a dedicated sauerkraut, the second for kimchi, the third for rumtoph (rum/fermented fruits). The idea behind the water seal is ingenious. And no parts that need to be replaced! Just make sure that the "lip" area is kept filled with water -- and there's your water seal. No more exploding kimchi. What a relief! (Posted on December 1, 2011)
