A 2-quart high stoneware crock from Ohio Stoneware, the tall narrow vessel sized for small-batch fermenting — a cabbage’s worth of sauerkraut, a jar of garlic dill pickles, single-flavor kimchi for one household. Tall walls keep the brine over the vegetables better than a wide crock would.
This is the starter crock for first-time fermenters who don’t want to commit to a 5-gallon vessel until they know the household actually likes homemade sauerkraut. Also the right size for keeping a perpetual jar of pickled garlic or kimchi going year-round.
Ohio Stoneware in eastern Ohio makes traditional crocks the same way for generations — Made in the USA.
