High Standards from cleanliness:
Highest priority by preparing high-quality and healthy food is cleanliness. Our pots are handcrafted from stoneware. This stoneware is fired at 2300°F giving it exceptional properties. It has a prior density of 3%, which means that the material - even without glazing - will not absorb water. This effectively prevents mold growth. All jars are coated with a natural lead-free and cadmium-free slip glaze.

Cleaning:
The jars can be cleaned with all common detergents. Stoneware is absolutely resistant to all natural acids. The jar is scratch proof, heat-resistant and dishwasher proof.

Two part stone: keeps the veggies during fermentation in the water, they do not absorb bacteria.

Water channel:
Cabbage and veggies need to be cut off from the oxygen in the air during the entire fermentation process. Fitting the lid into the water channel and filling the latter with fresh tap water creats a water seal. This prevents air from penetrating from the outside to the inside but, owing to the high pressure, excess gases such as a carbon dioxide produced during fermentation can pass from the inside to the outside. Always keep the water level continually topped up - otherwise fresh air can get in and spoil the fermentating veggies.

Fermentation period:
Depending on the veggies (hard or soft) and the fermentation method, it can take from 3 - 6 weeks.
