WHAT IS THE SAUERKROCK?
Whether you are a longtime home fermenter looking to step up your home fermentation game, or a newcomer to the fermented food scene, The SAUERKROCK™ water sealed fermentation crock is the perfect piece of home fermentation equipment for you!
The SAUERKROCK™ fermentation crock by Humble House is a high-quality traditional German fermentation crock, oftentimes called a “pickling crock” or a “sauerkraut crock” after two of the most popular fermented foods.
Each Sauerkrock “Original” fermenting crock has a 5L capacity, perfect for a small family of 2-4 people while the 2L Sauerkrock “City” is perfect for 1-2 people who need more kitchen real estate or simply don’t wish to make as much food. Have more mouths to feed or just can’t get enough of that fermented goodness? Then the Sauerkrock “Family” with its 10L capacity is right for you!
Both include two heavy, full-coverage crock weights sized for the crock that will keep fermented foods submerged in the brine throughout the fermentation process. The fermentation crocks features a water seal to prevent the fermented foods from being contaminated during the fermentation process.
The fermentation pot is finished with a food safe glaze that promotes flavor integrity and makes cleanup a breeze. The Sauerkrock “Family”™, the Sauerkrock “Original”™and the Sauerkrock “City”™ by Humble House are perfect for making probiotic-rich fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, sour pickles, and more!
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A FERMENTATION CROCK?
Fermenting crocks are used to ferment foods and crock fermenting or “crock pickling” is a highly effective method for making them.
There are thousands of fermentation crock recipes out there and we offer a few basic ones here for beginners including a dill pickle crock recipe (nothing beats dill pickles in a crock!) and a homemade sauerkraut recipe in a crock. Sauerkrocks also make EXCELLENT crocks for sauerkraut as well as for kimchi fermentation since that is what they were originally created for in Europe and Asia!
Fermented crock foods are generally better than those made in fermentation jars. There are many reasons for this which we highlight in this article on the topic, but the punch line in this – if you think you will be fermenting foods with any frequency, use a fermenting crock as opposed to using fermentation jars for a ferment container.
