Question: Can this crock pot be used to make dill pickles?
Document: I did some pickles, you really do need to put tannins in there, that said! the crock worked great, no scummy stuff. I Can't wait to try kombucha in here. This is heavy and durable and wonderful!
Crock its self is perfect, but the weight stones have cracks in them, this is probably caused by the heat treatment they get.Haven't used this yet but appears that it will do what we got it for.
Don't believe the picture. What was actually sent was the Polish TSM 5L fermenting pot.Have no problem with it as was wanting a 5L since I have several 10L crocks and just wanted a smaller crock. The handles have no indents and are a bit hard to hold onto.
I bought this crock pot because it was German made. 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.
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 fermenting something in it to give to the neighbors. It is not too large to wash and clean.
I clean this one in the kitchen sink easily.When my vegetables are fermented to my liking, I then place them in mason jars and set them in the refridgerator. I always have some smaller mason jars to fill and give away as gifts too. People are really excited to recieve a gift of fermented vegetables because it is truly a unique homemade gift.By using this crock pot, there is never a question if the fermenting is going to come out okay or not.
Crock Pot looks great, it arrived undamaged. Great protection provided for shippment. I have my first batch of cabbage working right now. Will open it up for a taste in about 3 weeks. Tried the provided reciept using butter milk. Time will tell. I like the design and how the lid functions. Can leave it out as it looks great.Popped the lid and tasted my first batch. Both my wife and I were very pleased with the results.
I ordered this for my husband who wants to make his own fermented veggies and hot sauce. He hates ordering online and asked me to do it for him so I could handle it if there were any hassles with the product or shipping. He researched this product well and is happy with the purchase.
This is managable in the kitchen. I fill it in the sink so it is lower and pound the vegetables as I fill it. It is easier to get the veg out too when it is in the sink. I live in Hawaii and so veg ferment faster here. I start tasting it after about 3 days and usually the 4th or 5th day it is ready. Keep checking regularly as one day can make it too sour.
We ordered this to try fermenting due to the healthful nature of the process. LOVE the product. Yes it's rough on the bottom....duh....don't put it on your counter without a towel under it! It's not "perfect". There are rough spots and odd little bits BUT it does the job and easily. We skimmed just a little bit of scum from the top of our cucumber batch. The cucumbers made wonderful brine pickles. We are HAPPY!!!!
Answer: Technically I think they're called half-sours but... Yes - the pot makes very good pickles.
