Review on Terracotta Sprouter With 4 Tiers By GEO Terradisiena by Sarah Hunter

I was very hopeful when I bought this because I hate using plastic in any form. The problem with this sprouter is that there aren't a lot of holes in the bottom of each pan, this the roots grow inside the pan itself, hold a lot of mositure and turn black. On around day 4 I found mouldy sprouts, which are very dangerous to eat, so I threw out the whole batch. Maybe it's the fact that I live in a pretty hot and humid place, but I think the design is flawed: the holes in the bottom need to be slightly larger and more numerous to get the kind of drainage necessary to grow sprouts properly.I am getting an 18/10 stainless steel tamis--a 12-inch round French-style flour sifter with a wall--and attempt to use it as a sprouter with a plate underneath for drips and one on top for darkness. It's a damn shame that no one in the US makes a stainless steel sprouting tray: how hard could it be?!? It's not rocket science.
