🍲 5L / 1.3 Gallon Seeutek Fermentation Crock Jar - Stoneware Pot for Fermenting, Pickling Kimchi, Pickles, Vegetables, Kombucha - Glazed Fermenter with Stone Weights, Lid & Pickle Tamper Review

When this arrived, one of the shipments was chipped and the other deformed. I have contacted the seller and they cannot replace the weights even if you return the faulty ones. They were responsive but the only option was to return the product which is very difficult when you are an expat using mail routing. Unfortunately, I would get a few more of these to make miso.

For many years I fermented food without proper equipment. Marine style, improvise and customize. What I love most is that I now make sauerkraut and my whole house doesn't stink. My kids would love it if I had gotten it years ago. They always complain when I ferment food how the house stinks. You should look at it daily, you may need to add some water at the top of the lock. But it's a small price to pay for not having a smelly house.

My kimchi recipe is perfect here. I haven't transferred it to another container so it's still doing its job in my fridge. This jug comes with a wooden pestle which I used to step on the contents to add more. There are also two semi-circular weights that provide ventilation. The design of the jug and lid is durable. I'm glad I went with this 2 liter size as a larger volume would have required a lot more preparation. This size is just right. It also holds up beautifully on my counter and matches…

Look at the photo. This is how I received the product. Dirty, dusty and patched inside. The base has been loaded with baked chunks/shards so it doesn't sit flat. Absolute garbage and waste of time. I was looking for 2 smaller pots (1 gallon) to rotate the enzymes, so I bought these. It is made in China. I'll look for a smaller pot from Germany or the US (not an easy task). This will be sent back. I am very unhappy that the manufacturer has allowed this product to be sold as premium.

Good pot for small portions (1 medium cabbage). What I don't like is that the water channel that forms the lock is narrow and shallow. Filled to the top, it hardly closes the openings in the lid, so air can pass through with little evaporation. So you'll need to check and top up daily, especially if you're fermenting in a jug where it's warmer. If you have a basement or somewhere else the temp is around 65, no problem, but many don't have that luxury, especially when spring arrives. Will it…

The pot is well made, strong and enamelled throughout. The look is traditional and fits perfectly with the style of our kitchen. I really love this piece! I've tried making sauerkraut many times and it's always failed in jars. For the first time my sauerkraut turned out perfect! No problems with mold and yeast. The first batch of sauerkraut has been in this new jar for a few days. I'm super impressed! It does not let light and air through, which is very important when fermenting products! This…

As I just received this pot and am currently fermenting my first batch of vegetables I cannot judge the taste or quality of the product. However, I am very disappointed with the quality of the product. I've had two Polish fermenting jugs from TSM Products and I know what a quality jug should be, but this one is a lot worse. Even though it shipped from Kentucky, the grammar in the instructions indicates it was made in China or some other Asian country, not the US or Europe. First, the ceramic…
