The pots are multi-functional, from the traditional use of preserving vegetables such as pickles for cucumbers and cabbage for sauerkraut to everyday use as a pantry or kitchen container. Food-filled pots can be stored in a cool, dry environment, allowing the vegetables inside to ferment naturally. As our pots are made with lead-free glazes, they are food safe and easy to clean. They are also conventional oven, microwave and dishwasher safe.
