Product Description
Fermenting Crock Pots Make natural nutrition-packed sauerkraut and pickled vegetables with this stoneware crock pot from Germany! Through the years, sauerkraut has been recognized as one of the healthiest foods, and was even used on sailing ships to protect sailors from scurvy. In just 4-8 weeks you can have delicious sauerkraut from all typed of vegetables like cabbages, pumpkins, cucumbers, carrots, beans, beets, celery, onions and peppers. Recently in the news, sauerkraut and pickled vegetables fermented the natural way with lactic acid fermentation are being credited with correcting bodily imbalances of intestinal flora, leading to problems including acid reflux for which doctors often prescribe harsh antibiotics. Natural lactic acid fermentation is one of the oldest and healthiest means of food preservation. It allows natural, beneficial bacteria to perform a fermentation process in which vegetables develop a pleasantly sour taste and remain rich in vitamins and minerals. Lactic acid fermentation is the only method of preservation that retains all the natural plant ingredients while improving the quality, taste and aroma. These beautifully crafted stoneware crock pots from Germany produce 5.0 Liters of pickled vegetables very simply. The use of ceramic weight stones eliminates mold while the clever water sealing system allows fermentation gasses to escape without allowing air to enter the crock pot. Simple instructions for use and recipes are included. What's Special about Schmitt Crocks? Schmitt crocks are German quality stoneware made using liquid slurry poured clay.

| 42 of 42 people found the following review helpful  Really Great Crock, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Schmitt 5L Gairtopf German Fermenting Crock Pot - ME3205 My grandparents made fermented veg of all forms when I was a kid, they had several huge crocks and a big basement to keep stuff in. Recently I had a guy on my podcast talking about making sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables. I realized a few things...1. I missed this stuff 2. My grandparents crocks were too big for a household with two people and no basement 3. I wanted something like they had So I found this one and noticed it included stones with it. I have my first batch going now, cabbage, apples, carrots and caraway seeds. I sampled some at 4 days in, just beginning to get tangy but I can tell it is going to be awesome. I am now looking into fermented hot sauce and trying to recreate my Grandmothers Chow Chow. I was actually here to buy a two more of them but they are currently out of stock. I would like to have two to three going with different stuff at all times from now on. At 5 liters it is about the...

I also wanted to be able to ferment vegetables easier than putting the vegetables in mason jars. With mason jars, you have to release the gases each day and then they leak and its a real mess and pain in the neck. With this crock pot, I put all the vegetables I was fermenting in at once and put on the stones for weight (stones come with the crock which is more sanitary than using rocks) and then when the lid is on there is a trough for water to seal the crock and make it air tight.I did not have to check it until 9 days later when I opened it to find that all my vegetables had fermented well without any mold, etc. I love this crock pot!!! It holds about 2-3 very large heads of cabbage at a time which is enough for my husband and myself. I actually prefer to ferment smaller quantities because I am always trying a different recipe with different vegetables. This 5L crock is large enough for the two of us plus I am always...

The pot was leaking from the bottom rim! And the fermenting juices slowly leaking out of the bottom rim created a mold on the rib that I could not wash out. This product has some major production defects that should be reviewed. |
