Why is Crazy Korean Cooking Fermentation and Storage Container Better?
The CKC Fermentation Container combines the ancient Korean Onggi (earthenware) principle with modern, easy-to-use technology. Onggi dates back to 57 BC and is referred to as the “breathing pot” because of its unique porosity, and it is known as an excellent vessel for fermented foods like kimchi and pickles. Although Onggi is amazing, it's difficult to use in a modern home environment because it is very heavy, difficult to clean and awkward to keep in the fridge.
The CKC Fermentation Container was developed to solve those problems while maintaining the ingenuity of Onggi. It is made from high quality polypropylene plastic mixed with natural clay. The inner vacuum lid is easily adjusted according to the level of food. So regardless of the amount of food, the container protects the surface of the food and induces an anaerobic environment in which probiotics thrive and the crispy texture and vibrant color are maximized.

I've found a game changer for my fermenting adventures! The E-jen container seems like a fantastic tool for making the process more convenient and efficient. Removing oxygen is crucial for successful fermentation, so having a container that makes that easy is definitely a win. I'm saving space in my fridge and is easy to clean too.

Bought this to make sauerkraut in. I was considering getting a stoneware crock as that's traditionally what people use, however since I was making a large batch this plastic crock seemed like a good idea to take a gamble on as they are easy to move and less chance of breaking.PROS:- light and durable- very good airtight seal on the inside instead of weights (I had almost no scum or mold to scrape and therefore almost no wastage because of this)- easy to clean and reassembleCONS:- the smaller versions are a bit pricey which is another reason I went larger as it's more cost effective. Probably worth buying small if they ever discount them.- this isn't really a con, but handles would be nice for picking up and moving if needed while it's full. Either way this doesn't affect my 5* rating because it worked well and I have lots of sauerkraut to eat.

I have brewed sauerkraut for over 30 years and have always had to discard the top inch no matter how good a seal I thought I had. I got the 5 gallon round product and shredded 5 soccer ball sized cabbages into a rectangular dishpan, salting and pounding after each head. When done, I mixed all 5 batches together for even salt distribution and packed it down so I had juice on top. I cleaned the sides and inserted ithe inside lid with the gasket and pressed down on it until juice came out of the dome and inserted the plug. AIR TIGHT! Then it was set it and forget it for 28 days. I checked it once a week and the was no mold or slime. Today I wiped down the top of the inside lid and removed it. Underneath was the most perfect kraut that you could imagine. No soft spots at all. It is to bad the product rating only goes to 5 stars, because I would give this a perfect 10! Congrats to the seller for suppling such a wonderful product.

This extra large kimchi bucket works very well. We eat a lot of kimchi, so it is nice to make a large batch. We especially like the interior seal that can be pushed right into contact with the Kimi to create an anaerobic environment. Highly recommended!

It does what it promises and keeps our kimchi fresh while containing the smell. Taking out the food does get a little messy though, but it’s not a big deal.

I have this and a larger version of this, but this size is perfect for keeping in the fridge without taking up and entire shelf, and makes incredibly good kimchi and can go straight from starting ferment to fridge without having to do anything. Keeps smells in and kimchi crisp and tasty, and doesn’t let it ripen too fast! Really great container, I definitely want more of this size for smaller batches of pickled turnip, carrot, whatever. It fits a small Napa cabbage in quarters, or a half a larger one with the large leaves chopped.

I've made kimchi once before having this container, and I had been disappointed by the lack of fermentation. It never got sour, it was fishy and got spicier and spicier over time. The tupper I used made the fridge smelly, too.This time I used this kimchi container, and the results were AMAZING! Admittedly I used a different recipe, but the fermentation was there! I had to burp it every so often, and the flavor was sour and so delicious! No smell at all, and a convenient size! Packing down the kimchi was easy with the way this container was set up. Overall I am VERY happy with this container! I don't make it often, and when I do I don't make much, so this size was perfect for me. I want to experiment with sauerkraut, too! Seriously, it was so successful it made me want to try other fermentation projects!! If you're thinking about it and dabbling in kimchi, GET THIS CONTAINER. You won't regret it, it's amazing!

I originally bought this small Kimchi Fermentation and Storage Container as I had never made my own Kimchi before, and wasn't going to make a lot of it my first time. However, it turned out so good that my wife and I went through it in no time. I then purchased the larger 1.3 gallon container by Crazy Korean Cooking so we could make larger batches, and found that we could still use this container by keeping the larger container in our older refrigerator in the garage, and taking out enough Kimchi from that one and placing it in the smaller container that we keep in our kitchen refrigerator (which is always pressed for room it seems), and it works great!So, if you only need to make small batches of Kimchi, this is a great container for just that. And, if you like making bigger batches but always have to haul out the big container every time you want some, this smaller container can make things much easier on you as well by keeping a good amount taken from the larger container handy in your kitchen refrigerator. Thank you Crazy Korean Cooking... these containers are fantastic!!
