7 L (1.9 Gal) K&K Keramik German Made Fermenting Crock Pot, Kerazo F2

Beautiful, well made, worked great

Perfect to be used on the kitchen counter without taking up a lot of space and it looks good too.

I bought this crock to be able to make sauerkraut from cabbage out of our garden. I followed the directions in the little instruction book that comes with the crock, and it turned out great. The sealing mechanism on the rim requires frequent checks, because as gas pressures change inside the crock while fermentation is proceeding, the water can get sucked into the crock or expelled down the sides. It's a good idea to set the crock in a tray to contain the mess from the latter. The batch I made took about 5 heads of cabbage and took 7 weeks. Yield was 14 pints of sauerkraut.One caution: If you let the level of liquid get too high inside the crock during fermentation, water and bits of cabbage will be expelled into the sealing trough around the rim. Since the environment in the tray is aerobic, it will decay instead of ferment, producing unpleasant odors. I tried to keep the water in the trough clean by pouring/wiping it out and replacing it with fresh water. I'm pretty sure I had the crock too full, because if the level had been lower inside there would have been no opportunity for liquid to be expelled into the trough.

The crock works well for fermenting. I do wish the weights were a little bigger.

My wife and I love sauerkraut on a lot of our food. We enjoy the taste and the great probiotics and vitamins it contains. We shopped for an official German fermentation crock to make our own sauerkraut. We're glad we picked this one because it's not a cheap Chinese crock made with inferior products like lead. This crock is very well made and has a beautiful brown glazing on the interior and exterior. This 7 liter fermenter held 5 heads of cabbage (10 lbs, per scale) with room to spare for expansion. The lid has a built in water reservoir to keep air out while releasing CO2 from the fermenting cabbage. If you love sauerkraut, then get at minimum the 7 liter crock. This one is just tall enough to be placed on our countertop with a little room to spare under the upper cabinets. If you never made sauerkraut before, it's so easy...... Almost too easy for such a delicious meal or snack. Enjoy!!!

I waited a very long time to make this purchase. On a sustainable living urban homestead. This final piece to my journey. It is a dream. Beauty and function. I grow organic fruit and vegetables and work the entire growing season to "put up" healthy nutritious food for winter. This baby will take my health and efforts to another level. There are no harmful and toxic compounds to leach into my food. I am absolutely 💯 delighted with my purchase and with the seller. I highly recommend the items they carry. They have been around for a while and stand behind their products. Their reputation is perfect.

Loved it, but broke second use.

I was so excited when this arrived in perfect condition. They used a large amount of bubble wrap and packed it so nice. Not one blemish on it. I will be using it shortly because I have a large amount of cucumbers in my garden and plan on making the pickle recipe in the little cookbook that came with the crock. Then on to sauerkraut. I give this product an A+. Can't wait to try it out. Absolutely will buy from again.
