Pros & Cons
Pros
- Water-seal lid prevents unwanted oxygen from entering without releasing built-up CO2 manually
- Food-safe stoneware with lead-free glaze — no plastic touching your ferment
- Includes two ceramic weights to keep vegetables submerged below the brine line
- 2-liter capacity is ideal for a household batch of sauerkraut (roughly 1–2 heads of cabbage)
- Dishwasher-safe body and weights
Cons
- Lid seal can occasionally let brine seep if overfilled
- No stamper/tamper included — you'll need a separate tool or a potato masher
- 2L fills fast; larger batches require the 5L model
