    Great Product, Poor Shipping Practices (Amazon Fulfillment)

    I had a bit of saga with this purchase.Great Product:This fermenting crock is charming and functions exactly as I'd hoped. There's a delicious batch of sauerkraut nearly ready inside as I write. I appreciate that it's offered in a smaller size, as many are too large for my needs (and kitchen). The 2gal size holds a large head of cabbage, but takes up no more space on the counter than an old-fashioned coffee can. As a side note: the manufacturer is incredibly kind and helpful, do not hesitate to reach out for assistance if yours arrives broken as mine did. 100% class.Poor Shipping Practices (Amazon Fulfillment):The box this lovely little crock arrived in was barely bigger than the actual product box and contained zero packing material (both times) and was fulfilled and delivered by Amazon, not the manufacturer. There was also nothing on the outside that would indicate it required careful handling. Therefore, the first one arrived completely smashed. Thankfully the replacement arrived in useable condition, though it was packaged with the same carelessness. Amazon, please do better by these businesses if you're going to take care of the fulfillment. A paper calendar doesn't need to arrive in a box five times the size with half a roll of air cushion packaging, but a large ceramic crock just might.

    Zetilli provides an excellent product, with phenomenal customer service!

    My first order came without the weights. I liked the product so that I researched buying weights separately. I was unsuccessful, so I opted to return the product. The wonderful people at Zetilli contacted me and quickly helped me with a replacement. I love this product and the company. I am using it for the first time today. I am making kimchi inspired spicy sauerkraut. The weights are not submerged yet, but they will be. In 21 days I hope for vitamin, probiotic rich kimchi/sauerkraut. The Zetilli fermentation crock comes in different sizes. Mine is of course on Amazon, as are the other size. Kimchi inspired spicy sauerkraut recipe is from: Cultured Guru. Happy fermenting!

    Perfect fermenting jar

    Why didn’t I buy a fermenting crock before?!? The lip is perfect for catching the juice that spills out the first few days of fermenting. The weights fit great inside and do their job. Lid allows for air out, but keeps anything from getting in. Perfect for the job!

    Poor manufacturing.

    I wanted to love this fermenter so much. I love the light color, size, etc. Sadly, it was warped. When I sat it on the counter it wobbled significantly. Really poor manufacturing and quality control. I had to return it.

    Pretty fermentation crock

    First let me begin by saying I originally bought the 5L crock and felt it was just way too large for my needs. I ordered the 2L crock the next day. While I was waiting I went ahead and started a batch of kraut in the large jar. One 3lb cabbage filled the jar about 1/3 of the way. Once the 2L arrived I transferred the kraut to it only to discover that even with 2” of headspace I could not get the weights in. Only when I removed kraut to the halfway point of the crock was I able to get the weights in easily. So the big crock is rather large and the small crock is rather small. I wish there was one in between size. Ultimately the small one was just too small and was an uncomfortable for for my larger hands. I kept the larger one even though it’s huge. I like the color so I want to keep it, but really a better option might be a crock that has more size options. The 2nd pic is the large crock, the 3rd pic is of the smaller jar.
