Lakeland Fermentation Jar with Air-Release Valve 1.4L – Ideal For Kimchi & Sauerkraut

Product number: 72471

Making your own delicious sauerkraut or kimchi at home is surprisingly easy. And our special 1.4 litre glass fermentation jar with an air release valve in the lid will make it even easier – and foolproof – with no other equipment required.

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. Our buyer, Veronica, was still enjoying a batch three months after she originally made it.

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.

"Excellent"

star star star star star

Used for sauerkraut. I have 3. Perfect. Mine are earlier slightly wider base version used all the time since they first came out

"To make kefir"

star star star star star

I’ve been using one of these jars to make a batch of kefir. Opening the air release valve means I don’t need to use a muslin over the top, and it’s useful to be able to make a larger quantity. The jar is sturdy and well balanced on a wide base. This is a second jar so I can always make some when I need to, even when there’s still a little left in the previous jar.

"Perfect"

Great job. Good wide top to make packing down easier. Might get some more....

"Excellent for sourbread dough starter"

star star star star star

I purchased this jar as a newbie to sourdough bread making. I'm really pleased at how well the starter has developed using this jar. For the first few weeks I had used a covered jar for the starter, but this is a far better solution.
