29.75ounce(5.82inches,880cc) Korean Traditional Table Earthenware Compact Size Pottery Pot Jar Hangari with Lid

A compact Korean earthenware hangari with lid holding 880 cc (about 30 ounces). Sized for the table or a small portion of kimchi, gochujang or doenjang rather than a full batch.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Earthenware with many micro holes for air flow, which the listing says helps pastes and kimchi ferment properly.
  • + Small footprint, under 6 inches across, so it fits on a counter, table or refrigerator shelf.
  • + Comes with a matching lid and a 3.5 inch mouth, wide enough to spoon paste or kimchi in and out.

Trade-offs

  • - At 880 cc it holds less than a quart, far too small for a whole napa cabbage.
  • - Expensive for the capacity, and the listing states it is for food storage only, not for cooking.
