Discover one of the oldest, easiest and healthiest ways to preserve food. Natural lactic acid fermentation allows vegetables to retain more vitamins and minerals than other methods. Plus, styled after the traditional European fermenting pots, these crocks are made for easier use.

• Designed for making sizable batches of sauerkraut or preserving food for a large family or emergencies.
• Lead-free, food-safe glaze will not retain foods’ flavors and makes cleanup easy
• Two semicircular weight stones rest on top of food and create pressure needed for proper fermentation
• Also make excellent containers for kindling, feed, seed, plants or decorations
• Rustic dark brown with rounded handles
• About 15-1/2″H (w/ lid), 13-3/4″D, 10-3/4″OD, 5-5/8″ID
• Total wt 25 lb
• USA made

When the gutter around the rim is filled with water and the heavy lid placed on top, an air-tight seal forms to protect food from air and decay. (The gutter must be occasionally refilled as water evaporates.) These crocks can be kept in a cool place for months, letting the vegetables inside ferment naturally.

Note: Weight stones vary in color.
