26 L (6.9 Gal) K&K Keramik German Made Fermenting Crock Pot, Kerazo F2

Look where it’s made!!!!! It’s a no-brainer!

I will be using this to brine olives this year. Package arrived in one piece, wrapped very well and as pictured and described. It is sturdy and well made.

I purchased this specifically to make our years supply of sauerkraut. I was able to fit 46 pounds of cabbage in this 26L crock and possibly could have fit 50 lbs, it's nice and big.They packed it well and nothing was missing, arrived when it was supposed to via UPS.I'm quite surprised, however, that the handle/knob on the lid is not very big at all and the lid is pretty heavy, feels like 4-5 lbs. I know that no 2 crocks are going to be alike, but the handle on lid is not at all like it looks in their picture, it's about half the size! VERY small (1 inch X 1 inch), hard to grip for sure which really sucks! That is the only thing I am disappointed in, I will have to be very careful putting the lid on and taking it off the crock; seems like a no-brainer that it would be bigger/easy to grip.Also, on the outside the glaze is nice and smooth; inside the crock is definitely rougher, like extremely course sand paper, even rougher than 80 grit in places, I expected it to be a little nicer inside, not perfect, but not quite as rough. I only found one crack that appears to be from firing, it's centered between the handles along the joint at the top, just under the reservoir seal. I don't think it will be a problem, it's not deep and only about 6 inches long. Overall it seems very well made.The entire thing is actually much different than the photo shown on this site, I think it looks much nicer. Including photos because I was definitely wishing the photo was better so I could see what I was getting.The weights are, in my opinion, too small. I have another crock, a 7.5L, and the weights fit very nicely together/perfectly inside. With these there's a ton of space around them and they could be way bigger and thicker. In fact, the weights in my small crock are larger than these. I'd use them instead if I wasn't using the other crock right now.Still, glad I purchased this. After I filled it I was able to move it to the other counter that will be it's home for a month+. It was heavy so I grabbed around the bottom and had my son grab the handles and it was an easy move. I put some towels under it to keep it from scratching the counter and it's easy to slide around that way, too.

Extremely well made! Beautiful classic look. Olives taste amazing!

i loved it but it was broken during shipment so am returning it I was heart broken it was what I always wanted for my picked corn and green beans plus perfect for kraut

It seems well made but the lid has different color than the crook. Also, the little nob on the lid is way too small to be practical to lift the lid with

Original

Huge! Heavy when loaded. Still working on the batch of sauerkraut from 6 months ago.

You get what you pay for.Worth the money. Should last a life time.

Very good quality, arrived fast with no damage at all!
