Nik Schmitt & Sons German Gairtopf Fermentation Crock Pots
Pickling Crocks, Sauerkraut KimChi Maker, Cabbage Shredder
German Gairtopf Fermentation Pickling Crock by Nik Schmitt
Featuring the German Gairtopf Pickling Crock Pots with stone weights by Nik Schmitt & Sons!
We are pleased to announce several new additions to our line of fermenting crock pots. These earthenware pickling crocks are perfect for making raw sauerkraut and Kim-Chi.
These Gairtopf fermentation stoneware crocks are suitable for almost all types of vegetables including cabbage, pumpkin, cucumber, carrots, radish, and more.
The Stoneware does not require special storage or care and it remains neutral during the fermentation process.
These pickling crocks come with the crock, the lid, and the two semi-circle stone weights. These crocks keep the sauerkraut air-tight which prevents any mold or yeast from growing on the food.
These Gairtopf fermentation pots are manufactured in Germany by the company Nik Schmitt & Sons, (also called Nik. Schmitt & Sohn Steinzeugwaran.) These new German pots are the same as the Harsch gairtopf brand in that they are "fired" clay with a ceramic coating.
These Nik Schmitt pots are made with a mold and the Harsch pots are made the more traditional way, turned by hand. These new pots are lighter in weight. Both brands have a similar appearance and performance. Both use the lid and stone weights.
Here are the physical characteristics of the new sizes.
Size / Diameter / Height / Weight / Total Capacity
5 liter / 10’ / 12" / 12.1 pounds / 8 Liters
10 liter / 12" / 14.25" / 18.9 pounds / 14.75 Liters
15 liter / 11.5" / 16.25" / 19.7 pounds / 16 Liters
20 liter / 14.25" / 17" / 25.4 pounds / 23.5 Liters
Status: In stock! Ships with UPS Ground from Connecticut. Usually ships within one business day.
Comparison between the Nik Schmitt German Crocks, the Harsch Gairtopf German Crocks, and the Polish Pickling Crocks:
I carry three brands of ceramic stoneware pickling crocks. They are all designed the same way, with the stone weights, ceramic body and lid, lead-free glaze, and all three use the same lid and gutter system to make the air-tight water seal. All three are equal in quality and performance.
The Nik Schmitt crock are made a different way than the Harsch and Polish.
Harsch crocks and Polish crocks are manufactured the traditional way people make clay pottery, that is the clay is turned on a wheel and the clay is pushed and pulled into shape to form the pot. These have a homemade appearance, with slight differences in body shape and color.
The Nik Schmitt crocks are made in a mold with molten or liquid clay. Because of this the walls of the crock are thinner. The thinner wall has less weight. Because of the mold, each crock looks identical.
All three fermentation crocks have the lead-free ceramic glazing applied.
All three crock brands are neutral during fermentation, so there is no difference in the end result of fermentation. The performance of all three is the same, and the food will turn out the same in terms of taste and texture.
Free Shipping with UPS Ground to the 48 US States!
Additional shipping charges will apply to Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada. I am unable to ship these crocks outside of North America because of the heavy weight and oversized box.
The crocks ship from my warehouse in Connecticut. They are insured against loss or damage. I rarely have one break during shipping.
If you do receive a crock that has been damaged or cracked, I will mail you a brand new one at no extra charge. If the lid or stones become damaged during shipping, I will mail you a replacement at no charge.
