Ohio Stoneware 1 Gallon Preserving Crock

Ohio Stoneware 1 Gallon Preserving Crock

Ohio Stoneware's 1 gallon preserving crock is a plain open stoneware crock for small batches of sauerkraut or pickles. It is sold as the crock alone, so weights and a cover are separate purchases.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + One gallon capacity takes roughly 5 pounds of cabbage, a manageable size for a first open-crock batch.
  • + Stoneware from Ohio Stoneware, a maker known for traditional American preserving crocks.
  • + Costs far less than the lidded water-seal crocks here, which leaves budget for weights and a cover.

Trade-offs

  • - The listing describes only the crock itself, so plan to buy weights and a cover separately.
  • - The listing gives no dimensions or glaze details, and 1 gallon limits you to small batches.
