The Science of Fermentation

Lacto-fermentation is one of the oldest and most natural methods of food preservation. The beneficial bacteria naturally present on vegetables convert sugars into lactic acid, creating a tangy, probiotic-rich food.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the press-top water-seal airlock work on this fermentation jar?

A: The lid features a built-in water channel that you fill with a small amount of water. This creates a one-way valve — fermentation gases produced by your vegetables can bubble out freely, but outside air (and the bacteria in it) cannot get in. This controlled environment is exactly what you need for safe, successful lacto-fermentation of kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickles.

Q: Is this 5L pickling jar safe for long-term food storage?

A: Yes! The jar is made from certified food-grade plastic that is free from BPA and other harmful chemicals. It is specifically designed for direct, long-term food contact, making it completely safe for fermenting and storing your favourite pickled and fermented foods over extended periods.

Q: How do I clean this kimchi container?

A: The smooth surfaces and simple construction make cleaning easy. You can wash it by hand with warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher. We recommend rinsing thoroughly after each use and allowing it to air dry completely before the next batch to maintain optimal hygiene.

Q: Can I use this jar in the refrigerator after fermentation is complete?

A: Absolutely. Once your kimchi, sauerkraut, or pickles have reached your desired level of tanginess, simply seal the press-top lid and transfer the entire jar to the fridge. The airtight seal will keep your fermented foods fresh and flavourful for weeks.
