Built Like the Old-School Crocs — Because It Is One

If you're craving a traditional, American-made fermentation setup that can handle years of bubbling kraut and hearty batches of pickles, this is it.

The Ohio Stoneware 2-Gallon Crock Kit includes everything you need to get started: the crock, the lid, and a pair of classic fermentation weights.
The stoneware is thick, heavy, and made in Zanesville, Ohio — it feels like something your grandparents might've passed down (if they were fermentation freaks like us).

It's not flashy, but it's incredibly solid.
It’s dishwasher-safe, food-safe, and frankly — it just gets the job done.

Perfect size for two large heads of cabbage, and a great pick for folks who want something reliable, zero-plastic, and ready for serious fermenting.

Details:

  • Material: Lead-free glazed stoneware
  • Capacity: 2 Gallons (~7.5 liters)
  • Includes: Crock, lid, 2 weight stones
  • Made in: USA (Ohio)
  • Care: Dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe
  • Weight: 22.1 lbs (10 kg) — it’s got heft

🇺🇸 Classic. Durable. Made for fermenters who appreciate craft.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Made in the USA with heirloom-quality stoneware.
  • Comes as a complete kit: crock, lid, and weights.
  • Excellent size for sauerkraut, pickles, or cider vinegar.
  • Classic design that blends with any kitchen vibe.

    • Cons

  • No handles — can be tricky to lift when full.
  • Lid may allow minor airflow; not fully air-tight.
  • Heavy! (But that’s also kind of the point.)
