It is scratch-proof, heat-resistant and dishwasher-safe. Any household detergent may be used. - When you start fermenting your own foods to make sauerkraut or kimchi amongst others and get a taste for it, you'll want to keep a ferment going at all times.

Kimchi made with vegetables, spices and optionally seafood is eaten with every day by Koreans. Sauerkraut is popular, particularly in Germany and makes for a healthy and very tasty accompaniment to your meal. Delicious just eaten as a salad.

- Air needs to be excluded from fermenting vegetables which is why they are covered in water in the jar. To keep the fermenting ingredients submerged, this jar comes with a pair of weights. To keep any unwanted air-borne bacteria entering the jar there is a neat gulley around the top into which fresh tap-water is added and the lid fitted stopping air coming in but allowing the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation to escape.
