HoneyJar Kerazo 5 L (1.3 Gal) K&K Keramik German Made Fermenting Crock Pot Form_1 Kerazo 5 L (1.3 Gal) K&K Keramik German Made Fermenting

Excellent quality fermenter. Great Sauerkraut and other ferments have been delicious.

This seems perfect for sauerkraut can't wait to try it. It's beautiful and larger than I thought it was to be.

This crock is well made and very functional. The best part about this crock is the deep well that holds the water to seal it so oxygen will no enter and the gases can escape keeping the contents that are fermenting free from bad bacteria. As long as you keep the well filled with water and the room temp is not too hot the contents will remain good. I have kept sauerkraut fermenting for over a month before transferring to jars and then to the fridge. I have a crock very similar to this one and kept the kraut for almost a year in it and it was fine.

This crock is fantastic; Best deep water seal that doesn’t need a lot of refilling for evaporation. Highly recommend. The walls are thick, which insinuates quality to me. It is so much heavier and bigger than I imagined. If you don’t have a lot of strength, keep the heavy weight in mind. I deducted one star because it has already chipped a little. It’s still totally useable but about a 1cm chip has occurred on inner lip.

I like everything about this crock. As others have commented it is an excellent product. Solid, easy to use, easy to clean. One tip, which is pointed out in the accompanying recipe book, but maybe not obvious, is related to the water level in the channel. Please note that after the fermentation activity settles down you can get a vacuum effect that sucks in the water from the channel making it appear the water has evaporated. Just tilt the lid up on one side to equalize the pressure. I've made batches of sauerkraut and Sriracha in mine with excellent results. The only thing I might have done differently is to get a bigger crock. Friends and family like the stuff so much I can't keep any of it in stock.

Love everything about this crock. Made my first batch of sauerkraut and it exceeded my expectations. Really like the deep well to put salt water in, I don't have to fill it as often in case I forget about it. Came very well packed and arrived in perfect shape. I just ordered the same thing in the 10 liter size. A little pricey but like my Dad used to say, "you get what you pay for."

I have made two batches of pickles and I am on my second batch of Kraut. This product is very well made. The package it came in was form fit molded foam around the crock so it was very well protected. No worries. The glaze is consistent inside and out so no problem with leakage. It's very attractive and sits on my brown qranite counterpart. It's an ideal discussion piece for any country kitchen. I will certainly be buying another for my parents who are in their 80s. It's worth the price.

I had a minor issue with my original purchase, contacted the seller's customer support, and had a replacement on its way to me within a day or so. The product itself is well designed and of high quality, but the reason I will buy from the seller again is because I feel I can safely make an expensive sight unseen purchase with confidence given the seller's excellent customer support.
