E-Jen ( 1.7l 1.7L, Earthenware Brown) - Premium Kimchi, Sauerkraut Container Probiotic Fermentation with Inner Vacuum Lid (Earthenware Brown, 1.7l1.7L)

My husband do not like the fermentation smell but I love kimchi too much to let it go 🥹 very pricey for such a small container but it does the job but keeping the smell in! Great job! May buy again once I have the budget 😜 Also, this small container works well when the cabbage is small and it is chopped up. It will only fit one cabbage at most! So enjoy the kimchi process if you’re going solo like me 🤪

I have use ceramic pots for kimchi and find this range better for me because it’s easy to release the gas, store in the fridge and contains the odour better - not Purfik, but much better.The 5.2L is very large for one Chinese cabbage, but I find it best because the seal works very well - it does take quite a lot of space in the fridge, so I have tried the 1.7l and 3.4l which contain a Chinese leaf, but the fermentation does break the seals and liquid rises above the seal - not a problem if you’re religiously checking every day and cleaning away.So, my personal choice for Chinese cabbage is 5.2L if you don’t mind the space it takes in the fridge - I often put mine in the cellar when needed, and it’s okay left for several days without attention. The 3.4l is a much more appropriate size for a single cabbage, but does need daily attention because liquids will rise above the seal and must be removed. The 1.7l is a wonderfully convenient size for the fridge, and perfect for chopped vegetables, not perfect for a halved cabbage.

A good little box for kimchi. Making home made fresh kimchi. The inner lid compresses the kimchi works well and doesn’t release the smell. Sits nicely in the fridge because of its size.

Loving it. I read in reviews that it blocks smell well and it is true, I have housemate who hates kimchi smell and since I got this, said absolutely nothing. Made my first batch on Kimchi. Very excited waiting for results now.

I'm using the 1.7L, which fits two cabbages nicely. I like it and it's better than basic solutions like a jar with a fermention weight. The problem is that when fermention starts you come back to it each day and the the inner sealing lid has been pushed up out of the way by the gases that have been produced. There's a pool of liquid that could mould sitting on top of the inner lid, and it isn't airtight anymore because the inner lid is tilted out of position and the top surface of the food is uncovered in contact with air. It doesn't make a mess if you didn't fully fill the container, and you can pour off the liquid, stir the contents and push the plate back down where it should be and re-seal, but it means you have to clean it up every day and it feels like the food is at risk. It really needs a redesign with a one way valve to let the gases escape, but without that you can't just set it up and check it every few days on a long ferment, it needs more attention and work than that.

I am a rookie kimchi-maker and invested in this pot to make sure that what I made didn’t go off. My previous attempt was spoilt by the fact that I stored it in glass jars, and it went off. It has taken a year to decide to try again….This container has worked extremely well and I’m very happy. I might even get another one. (When I’ve saved up…) It has a cunning system of squashing the kimchi down so that the brine covers it all, there are no escaping tendrils to go mouldy.When I first received the container I was surprised by the size - quite small. But owing to the fact that you really squish the kimchi down with the inner lid, it takes almost twice as much as I actually made in my pottery 2L crock. The box seems very sturdy and I imagine it will last a long time, so, recommended by this newbie.

Its small 1.7 ltrs, but I can squeeze 1 small chinese cabbage in it. Tried it 3 times already and I managed to produce decent kimchi out of it. Its made in South Korea so the real thing !! Wonderful product and I recommend it to any kimchi addicts !

Used to make kimchi in an normal airtight plastic container but the mess of the overflowing juices and the smell (which I love but my kids hate) would take over the whole house. Since using these not only does it stop the smell but it comes with an airtight lid inside that has a small hole in it, that lets out the overflowing juices during fermentation. You just simply pour it out with ease and no mess. I have purchased a few now. They are fantastic but a bit pricey.

Perfect for lazy cookersHelps to make fermented cabbage in easy steps! Definitely recommend, and sent link to all my friends - fermented food is extremely good for you and your gut healthThanks to the seller and the whole Korea for making it easier!

Quería hacer un buen sauerkraut a la manera tradicional para fortalecer mi flora intestinal pero mi cartera anda decaída últimamente y como los gärtopf son algo caros este recipiente de plástico me parece un buen sustituto, sobretodo por lo opaco del trasto (los mason jar de cristal con válvula no me convencían mucho). En general creo que es un buen recipiente, aunque si se me hizo algo costoso pero creo que si lo vale, las paredes del recipiente y la tapa exterior son gruesas, la tapa interior hace bien su función. De repente puede ser que con el paso de los días la tapa interior se pueda ladear un poco, por los gases que suelta el chucrut durante la fermentación, pero no hay mayor problema, lo que hago en no apretar demasiado la válvula (el taponcito de goma que viene en la tapa interior) para que por ahí puedan ir saliendo los gases.Adquirí el de 1.7 litros rectangular (el más chiquito pues) y perfectamente cupieron 1200 gramos de col (pesada en crudo y en seco) con su salmuera, incluso creo que le pueden caber cómodamente unos 1500 gramos pero no quise llenarlo mucho para poder darle espacio para que la salmuera pueda ir saliendo y no se vaya a rebosar. Como el chucrut es solo para mi y lo dejo reposando 4 semanas entre lote y lote, está bien esta medida de recipiente pero si se requiere fermentar para más personas creo que es mejor adquirir una medida más grande, ya eso depende de cada quien.

Bien hermétique, semble solide.

Great product. Good quality. Better then a simple jar to make kimchi. I ordered 2 more!
