How to use

Before first use wash the jar and tongs with warm water and mild detergent then rinse thoroughly. Prepare vegetables and brine according to your recipe, place the ingredients into the jar leaving appropriate headspace, and cover with brine to avoid exposed solids. Close the jar as required by your chosen fermentation method and store at a stable cool temperature away from direct sunlight. Use the included tongs to lift or transfer solid contents to minimize hand contact and maintain hygiene. After each use clean the jar and tongs, dry fully and store in a ventilated area.

Usage recommendations

For best results maintain a consistent cool room temperature during fermentation and ensure solids remain submerged in brine to prevent mould. Avoid sudden temperature changes and do not use the jar directly on an open flame or heating element. To preserve the glaze, use non-abrasive cleaning tools and avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
