Lakeland Fermentation Jar with Air-Release Valve 1L

Product number: 72470

If you’ve always wanted to have a go at making your own delicious sauerkraut or kimchi but are unsure where to start, fear not – this special 1 litre glass fermentation jar with air release valve is all the equipment you need to begin fermenting at home.

Air Release Valve

There’s no messing around with muslin cloths or remembering to 'burp' your jar as the airtight lid features a special one-way valve that allows built-up gas from the fermenting process to escape automatically, so there’ll be no explosive situations, while also preventing contamination from outside, which can make your food go mouldy.

Ideal for Sauerkraut

To make a basic sauerkraut that’s a world away from the stuff you find in supermarkets, all you need is cabbage and salt. Simply shred the cabbage and massage the salt into it until the cabbage goes soft and starts to produce a natural brining liquid. About five to ten minutes should do it and it’s really quite therapeutic. Add some caraway seeds for extra flavour, if you like, then put everything in this wide-mouthed fermentation and preserving jar, top up with water until the cabbage is covered, weigh it down with a cling-film-covered ramekin filled with baking beans and put the lid on. That’s it.

After about three days, it will be ready to eat, but the longer you leave it, the more the tangy flavour develops. When you’ve got the flavour just right, put the jar in the fridge to halt the fermenting process. It will keep for ages.

What Else Can I Make?

As well as cabbage sauerkraut, you can experiment with other vegetables to make different flavoured sauerkraut – celery and dill, beetroot and juniper, ginger and carrot… the possibilities are endless.

You can also make kimchi to accompany Asian dishes, or try kombucha – a fizzy black tea. Ideal for preserving pickles and chutneys, too, it can also be used to make kefir or hold your sourdough starter.

What is Fermentation?

Fermentation is one of the oldest techniques for preserving and storing food. When you combine your vegetables with salt and store them in an airtight container, the naturally present beneficial bacteria transform your food into a natural probiotic.

Comes with a recipe for kimchi.

"Makes it all eady"

star star star star star

Have made my first saurkraut with this. Easy to use, and once the saurkraut was packed in and weighted down (I used a small freezer bag filled with ‘blind baking beads’), and the top was secured with the valve pressed down, it happily fermented away. Had read reviews and knew not to put in dishwasher. Cleaning it is easy, so not a probkem.

"Stylish and neat"

star star star star star

Brilliant for fermenting. Having the vents is so helpful as I used to forget to release the top on my containers and I now don’t have to worry.

"Lakeland Fermentation Jar With Air-Release Valve 1L"

Ideal for home pickling with the air-release valve for added safety.

"Perfect jar for fermenting vegetables"

star star star star star

Kind bought this jar for fermenting my own sauerkraut and other vegetables. The size is perfect and great shape. Has a valve for releasing air. Another great product from Lakeland.

"Good fermental health"

star star star star star

This is a great jar, load it up and let it go and don’t worry about the burping (unless you’re fermenting Jerusalem artichokes). One question, can it go in the dishwasher? Looked everywhere and can’t see. One tip for the weights, use the cabbage core to press down on your kraut and simply throw it out when it’s ready.
