Humble House Sauerkrock 1.3-Gallon Water-Seal Crock (Kit)
$59.99
The best all-round fermenting crock: a glazed 1.3-gallon water-seal vessel that ships complete with glazed weights and a wooden pounder, so gases vent while oxygen stays out and vegetables stay under the brine.

- Complete kit: includes glazed weights and a wooden tamper or pounder
- 1.3 gallon capacity suits a family batch of sauerkraut or kimchi
- Lead-free food-safe glaze on durable stoneware
