Also known as sauerkraut pots or Harsch crock pots, these ceramic crocks are made in Germany and finished in a earthen lead-free glaze. Not to be confused with the slow cooker crocks, these are a non-electric, manual Harsch crock design.
Each pot is designed with a trough around the top to enable a water osmosis seal for a cleaner, easier process. Simply ready the vegetables to be fermented, put the lid in place, and fill the trough with water. The seal allows gasses to escape during the process without letting bacteria in. Clean, simple and efficient!
Most commonly used for sauerkraut (or pickled cabbage), the range of these Harsch crock pots is surprisingly versatile. Some of the other popular vegetables are: beans, beets, carrots, hot peppers, kimchi, kombucha and pickles. Some people even do medleys or layers of different vegetables in a single pot.
If primarily making sauerkraut, you may also be interested in our Harsch crock accessories - the Tamper for packing the cabbage down inside the pot, and the Mandolin slicer for achieving an even cut to your cabbage for best consistency and texture in your sauerkraut.
Available in 5lt, 7.5lt, 10lt or 15lt.
Each pot comes with 1 pot plus lid, two weight stones and an information pamphlet.
•30lt and 50lt sizes available by special order only.
