This traditional pot is suitable for almost all types of vegetables including cabbage, pumpkin, cucumber, carrots, and more. Stoneware does not require special storage or care and is neutral for all fermented vegetables. The new pot is a dark brown color and it is supplied complete with lid, weighing stones, and instruction booklet. Review: Great fermenting crock - This crock is a great size for "smaller" batches of sauerkraut or other vegetables. Two heads of cabbage fill the crock approximately half-way. It has a nice wide mouth, which makes it easy to place your vegetables inside. The two stones are a good weight and fit into the crock very nicely. The lid and mouth design are a great idea - pouring a bit of water adds an additional seal to keep air and bacteria out of the crock, but still allows the carbon dioxide to escape. The finish on the crock is consistent and very well done. I would like the handles to be slightly larger to provide a better grip when moving the crock when it contains vegetables. But, the handles being slightly small for me was certainly not enough to lower the rating. It is a great crock for fermenting vegetables! Review: Works Great! - Great size for kimchi. Water seal works perfect if kept in stable temperature space. Bottom rough so recommend adding felt to it to avoid scratching surface it sits on. ## Features - ORIGINAL | Made in Germany ! - SIZE | 5.0 Liter (1.3 Gal) - INCLUDED | Two fermenting stones - Our pots are handcrafted from stoneware.

Bottom rough so recommend adding felt to it to avoid scratching surface it sits on. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made product *by M***. on January 25, 2021* This product arrived in perfect condition. I have my first batch of sauerkraut fermenting now. The included recipes were useful, but perhaps not adjusted to the size of the pot. The Sauerkraut recipe calls for 25kg of cabbage, which would never fit. I could fit two heads of cabbage into the pot and (barely) place the weights on the shredded cabbage. What I did was to shred 1 head of cabbage and massage 1.5tbsp of sea salt in to it in a large bowl, and then put the cabbage into the pot. I did the same with the second head. I used a tamper (purchased separately) to press this down. This mixture shrank to about 1/2 of the pot within 12 hrs or so, and within about 48 hrs, the liquid was above the weighting stones. At 3 days, the cabbage is already tasting pretty good! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/41597309-nik-schmitt-fermenting-crock-pots-5-liter](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/41597309-nik-schmitt-fermenting-crock-pots-5-liter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
