Description

Create delicious sauerkraut, pickles, and more with these ceramic, water-seal crock sets.
Healthier Eating: Fermenting is an ancient tradition that allows your vegetables to retain their nutritional value.
Water Tight Seal: When the gutter is filled with water, and the lid is placed on top, an airtight seal is formed. Water keeps out surface molds but allows CO2 to escape. The water-seal makes it easy to ferment without having to constantly check the food. You simply add water as it evaporates to keep the seal intact.
Easy to Use Sets: These sets are easy to use and come complete with lid and weights. Built-in handles make them easy to carry and move. Select the right size for you and start fermenting.

  • 2L crock holds approximately 1/2 gallon
  • 4L crock holds approximately 1 gallon
  • 5L crock holds approximately 1-1/3 gallons
  • 10L crock holds approximately 2-3/5 gallons
  • 15L crock holds approximately 4 gallons

Durable Construction: Constructed of fine, fully-vitrified stoneware clay. Crocks are kiln-fired, lead-free, with a glazed exterior and interior.
Our Traditional Style Water-Seal Crock Sets are made in China to our stringent specifications and is backed by our one year manufacturer's warranty.

Made my first batch of sauerkraut in it, very easy to do. Only had to top off the water “moat” twice over two weeks, turned out great! Well packaged with plenty of padding, looked exactly like the picture. Gonna make more and looking forward to fermenting pickles this summer. I got the 5 liter and 10 liter, I could fit at least 6 heads of green cabbage in the 5ltr, I got the 10 ltr so when my cucumbers (pickles) come on I’m ready for a bunch!!!

8 Questions
Why does salt bleed through the crock? I'm afraid to use it again

Please reach out to our Customer Service Team. They are available Monday - Friday from 8AM- 6 PM EST - 877-536-7763

Where are these made?

Country of origin: China

Is the glaze lead free?

Yes it is lead free.

How do you clean the ceramic weights? They are porous like a pizza stone.

Soak it in bleach water and then place in 250 degree oven for 20- 30 minutes.

We borrowed an Ohio stoneware crock first time we made kraut. The lid had notches to let co2 escape thru water channel. This one does not. Do I have to manually burp and let gas escape? Which is better?

When the gutter is filled with water, and the lid is placed on top, an airtight seal is formed. Water keeps out surface molds but allows CO2 to escape. The water-seal makes it easy to ferment without having to constantly check the food. You simply add water as it evaporates to keep the seal intact.

Waiting for a response from customer service - 2nd time using the crock broke while I was stomping. Wondering if there is anything LEM can do?

Please call our Customer Service Team. They can troubleshoot the issue with you and determine the correct course of action. They are available Monday - Friday from 8AM- 6 PM EST - 877-536-7763

I have large hands ! how big is the opening to wash it out ?

The opening is approximately 3.5".

Any lead or metals in the glaze?

None that I am aware of
