Sourdough Starter

Grease Jar

Small-Batch Sauerkraut
Create your own probiotic-rich sauerkraut in smaller quantities. Perfect for families who love natural goodness but prefer to make fresh batches more frequently.
Fermenting Pickle Chips

How to Use Your 1-Pint Starter Jar for Fermentation:
- Clean your crock thoroughly before first use.
- Prepare your vegetables or fruits for fermentation.
- Place the prepared food in the crock, ensuring it's fully submerged in brine.
- Cover the crock and store in a cool, dry environment.
- Check regularly and enjoy your fermented creation when ready!
Care Instructions
Place the crock in your dishwasher or handwash with hot, soapy water. We like to use our natural dish care set and pot scrubbing brush for harder-to-clean areas. Both of these are great because they are metal-free and won't hurt the glaze.
To ensure the longevity of your crock,
- Avoid exposure to direct flame or extreme temperature changes.
- While microwave and oven safe, always handle with care to avoid thermal shock.
- Store in a dry place when not in use.
