Know before you buy
This model features a traditional lift-off lid design rather than a deep water-seal moat. It is best suited for fermenting projects where you are using weights to keep ingredients submerged.
Yes, the Polish pottery used is high-fired and finished with a durable, non-porous glaze. It is completely food-safe and will not react with the acids produced during the fermentation process.
While the brimful capacity is approximately 140 ounces, you should account for headspace. For successful fermentation, it is recommended to fill the crock to about 80-85% capacity to allow for bubbling and the placement of weights.
The crock features integrated side handles designed for a secure grip. However, given the weight of the ceramic and the contents, we recommend using both hands and supporting the base when moving it.
The crock is durable, but we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the hand-painted Gingham Flowers pattern. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glazed surface.
The lid is a traditional lift-off style, which is designed to sit securely on the rim to keep out dust and debris while allowing gases to escape naturally. It is not airtight, which is standard for traditional fermentation crocks.
