What we liked

  • + Traditional porous earthenware lets the ferment breathe the way onggi is meant to
  • + 2L size suits small kimchi batches or storing gochujang and doenjang
  • + Korean-style shape looks good on a counter or open shelf between batches

Trade-offs

  • - Unglazed clay needs gentle hand washing and full drying to avoid off smells
  • - Too small for whole-head napa kimchi batches for a family
