Overview
Pressing vegetables below the brine with an adjustable inner plate, this earthenware container ferments kimchi, sauerkraut and other pickles. A polypropylene lid closes it airtight, and the body is food grade.
Compared with a heavy crock, it is easier to lift and fits in a refrigerator or pantry. The pressing plate holds the contents in an airtight space that favors anaerobic fermentation. The dimension row in the listing does not describe the real shape.
Who it's for
Home cooks who ferment cabbage and other vegetables and want a light container that stores easily. Bulk pickle makers, or anyone who needs reliable external dimensions, should confirm sizing with the seller.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable pressing plate
- Lighter than a heavy crock
- Small one-batch capacity
- Listed dimensions unreliable
- Lid and plate are plastic
Performance notes
The pressing plate rests on the vegetables and holds them below the liquid, so they stay out of the air. The airtight lid maintains the low-oxygen conditions that fermentation uses. Earthenware is the body, with polypropylene only in the lid and plate.
