E-Jen Premium Kimchi, Sauerkraut Container Probiotic Fermentation with Inner Vacuum Lid (Earthenware Brown, 1.6 gal/ 6.4L)

Have had this for a while but just got round to using it. I made some sauerkraut and decided to ferment it in the e-jen. I didn't need to stuff a jar and tamp it down, there was no need to cover the cabbage with a large cabbage leaf or bags of water to keep the cabbage under the liquid. The inner lid creates an air tight seal and the outer lid keeps the smells in. The cabbage fermented quite quickly and after only a few days I put the whole box in the fridge.It is quite expensive but overall I would say it is worth it.

My husband do not like the fermentation smell but I love kimchi too much to let it go 🥹 very pricey for such a small container but it does the job but keeping the smell in! Great job! May buy again once I have the budget 😜 Also, this small container works well when the cabbage is small and it is chopped up. It will only fit one cabbage at most! So enjoy the kimchi process if you’re going solo like me 🤪

I've been making amazing kimchi to a traditional recipe with this container. It works as well as traditional clay pot, but without faffing about with weights and water locks. The vacuum plate just makes it all so much easier.I will say that because of the nature of the materials with clay being mixed with the plastic to enable it to breathe, whilst watertight, it does emit a fierce smell of kimchi in the fridge even when sealed. This does not bother me and I'm not marking it down for it, because I have a separate small fridge I keep it in, but it could be a useful thing to be aware of.

I have use ceramic pots for kimchi and find this range better for me because it’s easy to release the gas, store in the fridge and contains the odour better - not Purfik, but much better.The 5.2L is very large for one Chinese cabbage, but I find it best because the seal works very well - it does take quite a lot of space in the fridge, so I have tried the 1.7l and 3.4l which contain a Chinese leaf, but the fermentation does break the seals and liquid rises above the seal - not a problem if you’re religiously checking every day and cleaning away.So, my personal choice for Chinese cabbage is 5.2L if you don’t mind the space it takes in the fridge - I often put mine in the cellar when needed, and it’s okay left for several days without attention. The 3.4l is a much more appropriate size for a single cabbage, but does need daily attention because liquids will rise above the seal and must be removed. The 1.7l is a wonderfully convenient size for the fridge, and perfect for chopped vegetables, not perfect for a halved cabbage.

Used to make kimchi in an normal airtight plastic container but the mess of the overflowing juices and the smell (which I love but my kids hate) would take over the whole house. Since using these not only does it stop the smell but it comes with an airtight lid inside that has a small hole in it, that lets out the overflowing juices during fermentation. You just simply pour it out with ease and no mess. I have purchased a few now. They are fantastic but a bit pricey.

I am a rookie kimchi-maker and invested in this pot to make sure that what I made didn’t go off. My previous attempt was spoilt by the fact that I stored it in glass jars, and it went off. It has taken a year to decide to try again….This container has worked extremely well and I’m very happy. I might even get another one. (When I’ve saved up…) It has a cunning system of squashing the kimchi down so that the brine covers it all, there are no escaping tendrils to go mouldy.When I first received the container I was surprised by the size - quite small. But owing to the fact that you really squish the kimchi down with the inner lid, it takes almost twice as much as I actually made in my pottery 2L crock. The box seems very sturdy and I imagine it will last a long time, so, recommended by this newbie.

A good little box for kimchi. Making home made fresh kimchi. The inner lid compresses the kimchi works well and doesn’t release the smell. Sits nicely in the fridge because of its size.

Loving it. I read in reviews that it blocks smell well and it is true, I have housemate who hates kimchi smell and since I got this, said absolutely nothing. Made my first batch on Kimchi. Very excited waiting for results now.

My puppy likes it, the only problem is that, it's small.

Malheureusement, il est arrivé la boîte ouverte et un des attaches en mauvaise état

I make a lot of sauerkraut and just love E Jen. Keeps the smell of kraut contained inside. Very easy to use. I also do pickles, and veggies.
