Question: Are there manufacturer guarantees such as certificats stating that this product is lead and arsenic free and is also free from other toxins?
Document: This product is wonderful for both the size capacity and the price! There are much more expensive models of crocks out there, but this one is my favorite. The edges of the lid and the top edges are unglazed, so I'd recommend getting some canning wax and coating the unglazed areas for ease of clean-up, as others have also suggested. With a tablespoon of lactic acid added, such as in whey from another product like kefir or yogurt, this crock will turn a batch of sauerkraut out in about 3 weeks that is delicious!
It seemed unsanitary. The water absorbtion was also an issue with my first batch because as the lid swelled, a large crack revealed itself. (Amazon was great about replacing it.)
Of course, letting it sit longer will make it even better, but the addition of lactic acid speeds it up and is even better for your digestion.The crock also comes with a few recipes for different krauts and such, but does NOT come with the clay weights.
I bought this crock because I am making homemade fermented sauerkraut. This crock is absolutely fool proof. I love it. I also recommended it to my brother and he bought one too and he is totally satisifed with his crock as well. This crock is as good as they get and it is an absolute bargain as far as the price goes.
Now she could make the pickled vegetables as she did back home.We've had the TSM fermentation pot for a few years now and she's very happy with it. The quality of construction is very good and the vessel is solid, so there's no concern for cracking and breakage under normal circumstances. I'd suggest also purchasing the matching stone weight, which is used to push the food below the fermentation liquid to guard against spoilage. The pot doesn't come with this weight and it's a wise purchase.So take it from my wife; you won't go wrong with this purchase.
My wife came from China to the United States in 2008. Since her arrival, she's been shocked at the lack of fermentation vessels like she had in China. In Chong Qing, these vessels are very easy to find and are also very cheap. Fermented food is a way of life over there, especially in the rural areas, like where my wife grew up. When she came to America, she was stunned to see how much us Westerners pay for such an item.We located another glass fermentation vessel sold on Amazon for very cheap and it broke within a month.
Thanks to the Amazon order policy, with a few day's patience, I was able to get it free of shipping costs too :)I cut up four heads (11 lbs) of green cabbage, mixed with 1/2 cup of Sel de Mer, and it only took up about 1/2 of the pot. I did need to make about 1/2 a gallon of additional brine, as instructed, but the extra space in the pot accommodated it no problem and I have a good 2&#34; of brine over my cabbage.
I am a newbee at fermenting sauerkraut. I am not new to fermentation. I purchased this based on reviews mostly. After pricing different crocks this seems too be priced right.The size was a factor also. This size is perfect for a average size family. I did not want something huge that I would have problems storing. I think ten pounds of sauerkraut is plenty with enough extra to give away to family and friends. So the size is perfect for my purpose.The quality of this crock is fantastic. It looks hand made and maybe it is?
In Manhattan no less, hmmm.I believe I'm soon going to have a pickling experience. Oh goody, just like being in California without spending the airfare and having to take off my shoes.Making pickles seems relatively easy except for all the waiting.Nowhere near as bad as waiting for a low yield, long term triple tax free bond to mature. Perhaps similar to watching grass grow. My jury is out on all this.The weather is turning colder here in Manhattan now (September) and I have to bite the bullet on my first pickling experience.
My ten liter Polish Pickle Pot arrived today in a very big double packed box. No sane person could complain about the packing. Arrived safe and sound.Unpacked, this a very nice, sensual looking pot.I live walking distance from the fabled Gus's pickles on NYC's Lower East Side. Can't buy better pickles unless you make them yourself.Astute readers will see that a pickling plot in a pot on my part herein is afoot.I'm also walking distance to the Union Square Farmer's Market. Multiple farmers offering nice, fresh Kirby cucumbers, very suitable for pickling, are available almost every day for reasonable dollar.
Answer: The product description states that the glaze is lead free. It's NOT made in China.....
