For Fermenters Who Want a More Classic, Hands-Off Setup

If you're looking for a non-plastic, beautifully traditional way to ferment — this stoneware crock delivers.
It’s solid, weighty, glazed inside and out, and makes your countertop feel like a little slice of farmhouse magic.

I often recommend mason jars — they’re versatile, affordable, and fantastic for small-batch experiments, yogurt, and daily kitchen rhythm.
But when it comes to longer ferments or bigger batches, this crock just makes life easier.

It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and the included stone weights and tamper mean your veggies stay fully submerged, right where they need to be.

Water-sealed crocks like this one are especially helpful for reducing surface mold and creating a more stable fermenting environment.
Gas escapes naturally, oxygen stays out, and your ferment does its thing with confidence.


Details:

  • Material: Lead-free, cadmium-free glazed ceramic
  • Capacity: 5 Liters (1.3 gallons)
  • Includes: Stone weights + wooden tamper
  • Weight: ~10.6 lbs (feels like quality)
  • Cleaning: Smooth surface for easy scrubbing — no corners or coatings to worry about
  • Design: Deep lid groove for water seal + breathable gas release

🥬 For big kraut projects or seasonal batches, this crock brings ease, beauty, and results.
