LockandLock Press Plate Leakproof Airtight Pickle Kimchi Container 4.5L / 152oz BPA Free One Handle Clear Body Maintain Fresher Taste

My kimchi came out bad but that's on me! As a fermented food, it's important for the kimchi to have access to air. It's heavy when it's done, too. So this container has a very sturdy latch and handle, but leaves room to breathe. The recipes I looked at encourage the cook to squish the kimchi down from time to time to get the bubbles out, and the thingy on top helps with that. I also made kimchi fried rice (this hid my sins and still tasted outstanding) and that calls for kimchi juice, like a lot of other Korean recipes. The grate also helps for pouring kimchi juice when you want it. You wouldn't want it for anything but kimchi, but for kimchi you wouldn't want anything else but this or a purpose-made clay onggi. Other sizes are available.

Been using this to make pickled garlic and I absolutely love it. It works super well to help submerge the things you are pickling. Might buy more because of how perfect these are.One warning is that when you remove the plunger, its very tight, so go slow or you might splash your pickling liquid all over yourself.

This sealed very well bit the divider did not stay put. Kept falling in. All in all I like it

I love mine :) I use it frequently to make kimchi. size if perfect for a batch with a single head of nappa cabbage of average size.

I bought this to start fermenting foods and it has prevailed with every batch. Definitely recommend

I bought this assuming it was glass as it states for material. But reading further, it then states glass-like material. By the time I discovered that misrepresentation in the advertising, it was too late to cancel as the order has already been shipped. For some people it may not be a big deal but for me it is. If I pickle something with a strong flavor mix I would not want that flavor to co-mingle with something else that I am pickling with an entirely different flavor. Glass would ensure to prevent that from happening, but glass-like may not have that capability. In any case, I like the design and I am sure that it will work for my first time use but any subsequent use will have to determined later on how the flavor comes out.

I use this for when I make kimchi. It I the perfect size for a small batch and it keeps it fresh for longer then I need it. I am happy with the color, size and style. My sister even loves it

I started making my own kimchi about a year ago and this container is a game changer. It allows for minimal air to help with fermentation. Great buy!
