Authentic Japanese Pickle Press: JapanBargain 3856, 3-Liter Plastic Tsukemono Pickle Maker, Made in Japan Review

Sizing is correct in the post but I didn't pay much attention to it when purchasing. It works really well, I made sauerkraut the day after I got it and it turned out great! I was not deceived, but inattentive. I would like 3-4 times more. To be clear, I am 47 years old and have been a professional chef since high school. So. I'm used to cooking things in bulk.

I tried it and it seemed too salty to me so I added MORE greens, I had to lower the lid hard but it caught and held. Anyway the greens have produced enough liquid to cover them and the spring in this press keeps the…

Enough. Yes, it's really small. And it's true that spring is a bit weak. The size was fine for me though, just right for getting fresh cabbage etc more often (rather than making a large batch which spoils sooner). it is eaten). Unfortunately, my kale went bad the first time. I don't know if the airflow isn't enough or if it was one of those bad batches that happen from time to time. Personally, the spring did a fair job of keeping it below the fluid line. It was very cheap so I wasn't expecting
