Intro & Finding Crocks in NYC

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

My name is and I'm new to the world of fermentation.  This week, I’m

taking a four evening workshop on wild fermentation with Sandor Katz at the

Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC.  This class has made me really excited about

starting my own ferments, especially veggies. 

 

Are there any folks out

there in the New York City

area who know where I can obtain ceramic crocks? I’ve seen things online but

they are kinda expensive and then there is shipping. 

 

Any recommendations would be

appreciated.

 

Be well,

I got excited as well and also did not want to invest in another space

taking device, so I started with a one gallon glass jar I got at the

Korean store (they repackaged the kim chi from it) for about 50

cents. It works and I don't feel the need for anything more. You can

also use regular quart canning jars. The gallon jar takes about 2

large cabbage heads for sauerkraut or kim chi

Thanks Connie!  That sounds like a doable alternative.

Hi -

Hope you have fun with Sandor!

I live in NYC and have found crocks at flea markets around town. Just make sure

that the

crock is not cracked.

One of the most successful containers I've used is the crock that comes in a

slow cooker.

The shape of mine is perfect and it has a good lid. These are often sold in

flea markets as

well.

Happy Fermenting.
