(More customer reviews)I bought this crock in February and I have now just opened it up after trying my first batch of saurkraut. It turned out great. I like it much more than any store bought brand. I'm eating my first bites of it as I type this review. This crock really works. I've never made saurkraut before and I have to admit it was realatively easy. You do have to place the crock in a warm place for a few days to get the fermentation started. You want a good start so no spoiling will occur. After you hear bubbles escaping from the lid then you know it's at work. The aroma is distinct at this time. You don't want to go at it too long or all of the sugars will be used up and you will have really sour saurkraut. Then you put the crock in a cooler area (in the 50's to low 60's) for 3 plus weeks. This period is a slow fermentation period that develops the aroma of the finished saurkraut. The longer you can leave it the better. I think it is important to note that at this time you have just purchased a crock but you've had to wait over a month before even opening the lid. So.. I'm glad I bought the 7.5 L size. I think it is enough to make 8 or more quart mason jars of finished saurkraut. You may end up leaving it in the crock for over 6 weeks. The longer the better the flavor gets. There are other recipies of pickled vegetables that I'm anxious to try. Alas I only have one crock and these are rather expensive. I wish I had two of them. They are heavy, and of good quality. The water seal really works. I highly recommend this if you want to make fermented foods. Now I need to cook up some hot dogs! (p.s. - Use good, organic cabbage). 5 Stars!
