You can even use an narrow Crock Pot to ferment and use a bowl or plate to hold the contents down under the brine. How often do we leave those Crock Pots in the cupboard for months or even years unused? I pour boiling water into the crock to sterilize (putting a big metal spoon in first) and let it sit for a while. Then dump, cool, then fill, and I put a mixing bowl on top and fill it with water to weight it down. It works really well.

It's not only about preserving, it's also about increasing nutrition content and absorption

Reuse glass lids from jar candles for weights.

Hi Caroline, I found my Chinese style fermenting jars at my local Asian market.

Just FYI, and let me know if this is not allowed...a FB group called Fermenting for Beginners has a member, Mark Campbell, that makes beautiful ceramic crocks. Made to order in whatever colors you choose.

Great info....that intro with green grass was just the pick up I needed!

[jennifergaylor]

My husband wants to start fermenting. He is a little discouraged by the cost of crocks and weights. Thank you for this info! 😀

[stellasmith]

Thank you for the information on all the types of vessels that we can use.

I need to learn more about this fermenting. This was helpful, thanks!!

I love fermenting. I started with just a couple of things about 2 years ago due to some health issues. I want to learn more about it. I have done the sauerkraut, fermented Carrots, honey and garlic, cauliflower, and a green tomato relish (since my tomatoes never all get ripe before cold weather kicks in.)

[sheliaheverin]

I have so many ferments going on, I'm going to need a bigger house soon.

I have started some limes fermenting after watching your video. My question is, can you add limes to the ones already fermenting as you make room by taking some out or do you need to start a new ferment jar?

[jendonofrio]

Have you ever used the vintage fermenting jars ? The kind that clamp the lid down. They look like canning jars but they’re not. They are fermenting jars by Ball

[loriann]

Crocks with the water airlock can be found at Natural Grocers.

Thank you for your wonderful fermenting videos. You gave me the knowledge and confidence to try fermenting for the first time. I used your videos to start sauerkraut, curtido, and carrot sticks yesterday. I can’t wait to try them ❤️❤️

[COWELLGIRL]

Yep. Use what you ve got access to for sure !

[admirerofcreativity]

Check with your local Asian market, a lot of them carry those fermentation vessels

[chrissihr]

If you’ve got a local H-mart, you may have much closer access to all kinds of varieties of Asian fermenting vessels than you realize. Definitely check to see if your nearest city has an H-mart nearby.

I recently ordered a glass fermenting jar from Temu. I don’t know how you feel about ordering from them but the price is roughly half what Amazon charges and you’re not going through a middleman.

[kristydickens]

I first watched this video a bit ago and came back to share that while I was in our local Asian grocery noticed they had the big glass fermenting jars you have there. They were $25, which I though was pretty reasonable. I think the box said made in the USA. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to look carefully.
