Know before you buy
No, this crock is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water to preserve the finish and integrity of the stoneware.
Yes, the fully glazed interior makes it suitable for fermentation. However, please note that it features a standard lid rather than a water-seal system, so you will need to monitor your ferment closely.
No, the Larder Crock No. 5 is not lead-free. It is designed primarily for decorative use, dry goods storage, or serving items that do not come into direct contact with acidic foods for extended periods.
The crock measures 5 inches in diameter and 3.75 inches in height. Its compact size makes it ideal for small-batch ferments, storing spices, or serving side dishes.
The crock comes with a standard lid that sits securely on the concave lip, but it is not airtight. It is best suited for items that do not require a vacuum seal, such as dry goods or active ferments.
