Onggi | Healthier, Superior, Eco-friendly | Premium Fermenting Crock (1 Liter)

Q: Can I use this for sourdough starter?

Dear Nick, we recently got the same idea that microporous structure of Onggi may help to create sourdough starter but no practical experiment yet. We will soon do and share the outcome with you and customers. Thank you for your question that moves us forward! :)

Q: Is this made in Korea or China?

Hi Maria, it is of course made in Korea - the country of origin of the Onggi and Kimchi. It looks rough but is the heritage of several thousand years of experience in fermentation. In Korea, fermentation and fermented food are part of their daily life and Onggi is loved and used for fermenting not only Kimchi but vinegar, pepper and bean paste, wine and fruit concentrates and etc. Thank you for your question and hope we gave you sufficient information.

Q: Does this come with a weight ? To put on top of food ?

Dear Solita, no - without weight. Traditional Korean Onggi, and accordingly also the eliefs Onggi is prepared with lid - without weight. However, we found many of our customers use their own ideas and wisdom for making Sauerkraut in Onggi, preventing mold. For example, cover your vegetables with leaves, put pebbles on them, and then close the lid. Or, just put a water-filled jar of jam/pickles on the sauerkraut (fit to mouth of Onggi). Leave it at room temperature for several days, remove pebbles or the water-filled jar. Cover Onggi with the lid, and then put the Onggi with sauerkraut in the fridge. Hope it helps and happy fermenting!

Q: Does Onggi require weights to submerge veggies?

Unfortunately I can't answer the question because the onggi was packaged so flimsily, I got it delivered all broken in shards and pieces. One would think for an item as delicate as a ceramic vessel, it would have been packed more carefully.
