This traditional pot is suitable for almost all types of vegetables including cabbage, pumpkin, cucumber, carrots, and more.

The new pot is a dark brown color and it is supplied complete with lid, weighing stones, and instruction booklet. Review: Great fermenting crock - This crock is a great size for "smaller" batches of sauerkraut or other vegetables. Two heads of cabbage fill the crock approximately half-way. It has a nice wide mouth, which makes it easy to place your vegetables inside. The two stones are a good weight and fit into the crock very nicely. The lid and mouth design are a great idea - pouring a bit of water adds an additional seal to keep air and bacteria out of the crock, but still allows the carbon dioxide to escape. The finish on the crock is consistent and very well done. I would like the handles to be slightly larger to provide a better grip when moving the crock when it contains vegetables. But, the handles being slightly small for me was certainly not enough to lower the rating. It is a great crock for fermenting vegetables! Review: Defective Workmanship. - I have a genuine Gartopf Fermenting Crock and there is no comparison. The Nik Schmitt Fermenting Crock I received is defective. It has so many imperfections in the glaze that I gave up counting them. It is as if there is sand in the glaze. One glob of glaze in the water seal channel prevented the lid from sitting flush as designed. This glob of glaze measures approximately 1/4 inch long X 1/8 inch wide X 1/16 inch high and is surrounded with space with no glaze at all. Overall, the glaze is uneven in thickness. In addition, the lid was chipped due to poor packaging. Final quality control inspection would easily prevent this particular crock from being shipped. I received a refund from desertcart for the cost of the product and I was told not to return it. I bought this for a birthday gift, so my experience has been especially disappointing and inconvemient. I would have given this product a zero rating, but one star was the lowest rating available. ## Features - ORIGINAL | Made in Germany ! - SIZE | 5.0 Liter (1.3 Gal) - INCLUDED | Two fermenting stones - Our pots are handcrafted from stoneware.
