My brother had one sent to me for my birthday. My daughter and I made a batch of sauerkaraut right away and it was wonderful!!! The crock made the process so simple and with not skimming or waste! I only wish my father could have had one of your crocks. He would have needed a much bigger one as he would make many quarts at a time in a huge old crock that belonged to his mother. We loved Tomo so much I had one sent to my sister for Christmas and she was delighted to say the least! Plus your crocks are beautiful! Thank you for making them!

Beautiful ceramic crock, thick, smooth, rich brown finish, all parts fit smoothly. Just made a first attempt at making sauerkraut. Can’t wait to see what happens

A great crock, quality made with great features, deep water lock gutters, attractive shape. My only complaint is the vegetable pounder. Very cheaply made (mine has a crack at the end which will eventually chip off). No flared bottom, and now attempt to bevel the ends. Given the high quality of the crock, I was surprised and a bit disappointed.
Omar K.
Excellent Quality. Excellent quality price is ok

Great Crock!. So I started with 2 heads of cabbage. 1500 grams. It can definitely hold a lot more.It arrived well packed and no chips or damage. Glazing is nice and consistent .I'll definitely consider getting another if this one doesn't keep up with our kraut consumption.

Love my first ferment crock. I liked the fact that I do not have to keep on worrying about mold. I can now have constant sauerkraut. I purchased a smaller 2L of a different brand, which turned out to be too small for 2 medium cabbages; so purchasing the 3L TOMO. I was surprised the crock did not crack given the packaging was almost falling apart when it got here. Also, the pounder was not very useful for me. I give this one crock an overall rating of 5 because it is easy to use and saves me loads of time.

Good looking crock that has a small design issue. A good looking pot to have on the counter for three weeks while your cabbage is saurkrauting, which came out just fine. However, the space at the top of the crock has an odd lip that can catch some of the cabbage when you pounding and will keep it out of the brine which could allow some mold to grow. It also makes it hard to pour the brine out of the crock. It also makes it a bit difficult to clean compared to some other designs.

Good crock. Only one thing to note. Good size and well made crock. The only thing you need to watch out for is if you are trying to ferment something small (in my case Tabasco and cayenne peppers) the weights tend to slip off and down to the bottom. I mitigated this by putting the weights in a gallon zip-lock freezer bag and leaving air in it. I then placed it on top of the peppers to hold everything down.

Prompt customer service. Bought this as a gift, the first one I received had some small issues with the glaze that wouldn't have bothered me if I had purchased for myself but since it was a gift I decided to return. Had a replacement at no extra charge to me in just a couple of days! Not only that but the second one was perfect, highly recommend :)

It was time to upgrade to a stoneware crock for making sauerkraut. This turned out to be an excellent decision. The crock is heavy, well-made, and easy to use.
Deb A.
Beautiful. Beautiful crock. Sturdy. Will be used for years for my kimchee. Highly recommend. Quality crock.
Char B.
Great crock great company. The crock is beautiful! Well made and easy to use. Comes with great instructions and recipes. HUGE crock - lots of space for large batches. Most importantly, the company is fabulous. My first crock arrived cracked. I contacted the company and they had a new one shipped out immediately- even responding after normal business hours! Highly recommend.
Joe P.
Kinda perfect.. These crocks are beautiful, but more delicate that American made stone crocks. All in all it is a nice product, but delicate.
Helen R.
No odor when fermenting.. So nice! I made sauerkraut and no odor! The water seal does the trick. The weights are included.
Brianna P.
Beautiful!. Arrived quickly, in perfect condition, and I can't wait to make some homemade sauerkraut!
Joel B.
Excellent for homemade pickles!. Great size, works perfectly.
James M.
I recently made my first batch of homemade sauerkraut and it turned out delicious. It was such a simple process! Came out tasty and a great way to save money. Highly recommend TOMO Crocks
Carla L.
Works as it is supposed to!. I gave this as a gift to a person who is familiar with fermenting vegetables, and he is very happy with it!High quality ceramic, nice size, looks good on the counter.
Sharon B.
Nice design and large enough. I made my first batch of sauerkraut and it could have easily taken more cabbage. Now I'll know for next time. I did use the recommended book on fermentation too, which is a good source of info having never fermented before. The design is simple, yet clean looking. It comes with weight that are a smooth-fired ceramic so they don't get slimy. I do wish it was a bit bigger, but too big would make it difficult lift when full; perhaps half again bigger?
Mark L.
Happy Fermenting. This TOMO crock is great and beautiful.
Andrea J. S.
Loving my sauerkraut crock. My first batch of sauerkraut was crispy, and delicious. I love that it has a water seal. It's pretty large. If you want just a small batch to keep in the refrigerator you might go with a wide-mouth mason jar. But if you're going to can a larger batch, this is the way to go!
Tom K.
Very good quality crock. Just ideal size for 5-6 lb of cucumber pickles, I made a batch, came out perfect. Haven't tried sauerkraut yet, but it's coming. Great quality crock, the moat lasts 3-4 days easily,
Will H.
Design flaw. Returned after arrival. Quality pottery but concerned for adequate ability to assure thorough cleaning. There is deep narrow space where the top interior wall of the vessel meets the edge of the crock mouth. The space is difficult to acess and view for cleaning. Low rating not for ease of use, quality of pottery or value but for food safety concerns.
Eileen C.
Fantastic quality crock highly recommend. I received my crock super fast, the quality is top notch. I've used it right away and am currently fermenting my first batch of sauerkraut! I highly recommend this crock! It is super roomy also! And the tamper is very good quality
Rachel K.
This crock is perfect for large fermentation projects such as sauerkraut, pickles, or fruit. The craftsmanship is top-notch and I'm confident I'll be using this crock for years to come, possibly even passing it down. The water around the lip helps eliminate any unwanted odors, and the weights are a game-changer. I highly recommend this crock and believe it's a great value for the price
S. Ryan
Fantastic!!!. Absolutely love it! I read that many people had an issue with cleaning the inside, found a solution. I rinsed out the container, then took a long toothpick and ran it around the inside rim to make sure nothing was left behind.The sauerkraut came out in 3 weeks, I did three heads of cabbage and that yielded 7 quart jars that I canned. We already emptied one jar. I am currently working on another batch for fermentation.
Martin H.
sound purchase. quality product and well made ,hefty stoneware. don't hesitate to purchase.
Michael J.
Ceramic crocks are the way to go, especially for larger batches - I wish I had known about them sooner! After many failed and frustrating attempts with mason jars, I'm loving my TOMO crock.
Mary S.
What a Fermentation Crock is suppose to be.... Bought a 15L (too big) brown crock from a different maker, turned out the glaze was bad (almost lost 5 heads of cabbage) and the weights were unglazed. This TOMO crock has the quality you expect when you open the box, the glaze inside and on the weights is white, smooth and just feels thick. The outside glaze is beautiful. The size is perfect. As others have stated the inside lip at the back of the water seal isn't ideal for cleaning but the overall quality outweighs that small inconvenience. It will be a heirloom handed down to one of the kids.
Emily W.
I received this crock as a Christmas present and it has been so easy to use. I've made some fantastic sauerkraut, beet kraut, and kimchi that even my boyfriend, who has refused to eat my homemade kraut in the past, has enjoyed. The first crock I received had a wobble, so I contacted customer service and they promptly sent me a new one.
Sandy A.
Perfect and compact ! It was exactly what I was looking for! I appreciate the weights and the simple water seal. It's great looking too.I started using it right away ! Everything I've made has turned out perfectly.
Christopher B.
I just packed my very first batch of cabbage into the crock this morning and the crock looks like it's going to produce some amazing results! I'm eager to see how everything turns out. Check out the recipes on their website.

Great crock!. The TOMO stoneware crock is nicely glazed, including the weights, which meant I did not need to soak them when I used the crock to make my sauerkraut. I found getting the residual water out of the crock when I cleaned it rather difficult because of the shape of the crock at the top. I gave it a few shakes to remove as much as possible, and then set the crock out in the sun as they suggested. A quick wipe with a paper towel ensured it was clean and dry and ready for use.
William J.
Works greay. I use this crock to make Sauerkraut. It works great, the air seal works good. Clean out is slightly difficult as it is with all fermentation styke crocks because of the water seal lip design. Very high quality crock. Shipping was fast and it was packed in foam so it would not break during shipping.
Strix N.
Inside rim is hard to clean. The inside rim is recessed on the inside where the lid sits. It is very hard to clean and rinse out because when you dump the water debris gets into this area. Other than that the fermenter works as it should!
Selwyn S.
Wll post another review when it's done. I just bought it and the quality seems excellent . I did start my cabbage fermentation and will keep posted.
Josh P.
Great jars. First order - lids were broken. Replacement order arrived very quickly and are perfect for water sealing fermentation. Thank you.
Beck B.
The crock appears well made and the weights are fully glazed.
Becky S.
nice. just as ashown
William D.
This is my second crock purchase from Tomo. I am a big fan of their stoneware over the years. The crock was perfect and my kimchi came out delicious. I plan on using this crock for many more years in the future.
