Ohio Stoneware 3-Piece Water Seal Crock Set

Get the best results when making sauerkraut and other fermentations with the Ohio Stoneware Water Seal Fermentation Crock! Compared to a traditional open crock, a water-sealed crock does a better job at producing lactobacilli, that good gut bacteria your body needs. Water-sealed fermentation also tends to have a higher quality and depth of flavor compared to open crock fermentations. Why? Because water sealing provides the ideal environment for fermentation to happen. It creates an anaerobic (airless) environment where good bacteria flourishes and bad bacteria dies. Since there’s no air, yeast and molds can’t grow and flies and fruit flies can’t get access to your fermenting vegetables. If you’re looking for a carefree way to ferment, bring home the Ohio Stoneware Water Seal Crock!
