What we liked

  • + Water-seal lid lets fermentation gas escape while keeping outside air away from the brine.
  • + Comes with glazed weights and a wooden pounder, so the kit is complete apart from vegetables and salt.
  • + Glaze is described as lead-free and cadmium-free, with thick walls, large handles and a wide opening.

Trade-offs

  • - Two liters holds only a small batch, roughly one medium cabbage at a time.
  • - LIYYOO is a little-known brand, so long-term durability is harder to judge than with older makers.
