Fermentation & Preservation Crock

Ohio Stoneware, a brand made in the USA, utilizes a proprietary clay to produce their stoneware. Using traditional kilns, the crocks are fired at around 2,200°F and undergo an 18-hour heating and cooling process. Each piece is hand-finished by skilled craftspeople with a food-safe, lead-free glaze that prevents odor absorption, flavor transfer, and leakage. This manufacturing process provides exceptional strength, durability, and easy cleanup.

This 2-gallon stoneware crock employs age-old methods for fermentation and preservation. Unlike crocks with a water channel, this model features a lid that covers the full top of the vessel. Consumers can enjoy fermenting a wide variety of produce, including cucumbers/pickles, cabbage, root vegetables, beans, peppers, and olives, all while ingesting natural probiotics. Beyond vegetables, users can also experiment with home-cured corned beef, salami, pastrami, and even grapes for winemaking.

Visually, the crock boasts a white exterior with a brown interior. The accompanying lid is also brown. All components are made in the USA and covered by a 30-day warranty for production workmanship.

The sealed lid design eliminates the need for a water channel, making this crock suitable for both fermenting and preserving purposes. Furthermore, the materials and glazes used are lead-free and food-safe, allowing the crock to be safely used in the dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and conventional oven.

Included with the 5-gallon crock are a full-width lid, two pressing stones, and a set of starter recipes to inspire users' culinary adventures. The complete 2-piece weight set weighs 28 lbs, with the lid contributing 9.1 lbs.

In summary, the Ohio Stoneware 2-gallon fermentation and preservation crock offers a high-quality, USA-made solution for creating a wide range of fermented and preserved foods, all while adhering to stringent food-safe standards and providing a user-friendly experience.
