There is so many ways that are so much easier 😂
Hi will this work with lettuce?
This is the most informative explanation yet on YouTube. Thank you
Can you use this product for making Asian (Korean) Kimchi?
I use my cuisineart food processor to eliminate waste, a German 15 gallon crock with stone and ferment for 2 months. Makes a perfect batch.
You don't add water to the kraut, you stomp it so the juices come out, works best in a stainless steel pot. Then cut a piece of food grade cutting board to fit into the pot. Put a stone on top so the juice covers the disc. Leave for 2 weeks, done.
"Two to three percent salt" – by weight?
I wonder if you can use a beer fermenting container with an airlock to ferment sauerkraut and to prevent moulds, using a waterbag inside for the weigh to compress the cabbage. ?
Doesn't the boil bath canning processes kill the probiotic in the krut?
If you heat the kraut you will kill all the good health giving probiotic bacteria.
I would never ferment in aplastic container
Can we use any type of salt
Very good information thanks for what you do
115 degrees kills the probiotics in sauerkraut. I will never heat my kraut.
What an unpractical cutting device, and it will take to much space when stored. Use a knife. Also I go by wait in salt, that's more accurate! And at last I have a wooden masher….. so I m not impressed by this explanation 🙋🏼♀️🇱🇺🌷

"It should smell like Sauerkraut."
"It tastes like Sauerkraut."
It must be Sauerkraut then.
Cut a square block for that cutter. Fingertips are nice to keep attached.
This is my go to government approved video I refer to every time I can up some kraut. So far I've run about 7 heads in a Kerazo modern design waterseal crock (1.4 gallon I think) without any failures. Just peel and stick some felt pads on the bottom of the crock as a bonus since stoneware can be abrasive. I've already broke even on the crock purchase especially since a pastor gave me two giant heads from their community outreach (trust me I was reaching out)! My second run I added in a couple layers of cranberries and some carrots upon the reccomendation of a guy from Georgia (in Russia) and that was interesting. I reccomend that fresh as the berries will color the kraut some when canned, but still attractive. For probiotics be sure and set aside some fresh kraut from each batch for immediate ingestion, lol.
Superb demonstration!!
Can you drink the juice nice video ❤❤
Woow what a creativ intellegant trik to cover cabbage !
why you remove core ? its have most vitamins and nutrition and you use plastic to cover kraut , dumb as hell because acidic cabbage will suck on plastic toxins
Did you have to open the lid and stir as others suggest? This is such a professionally done tutorialm
Great and professional video… Many thanks 😊

Mason jar set up, wouldn’t it make jar crack if you put a lid and ring on it?
This is great, Julie! I place layers of beet and onion slices and caraway seed between layers of packed cabbage and layers of too-be-packed cabbage before fermenting. Works like a charm. Cheers!
Great video, thank you!
I was surprised to see the 2-3 months refrigerator storage time. I just finished a 3 year old batch and have one left. I made a new one today which is why I visited the video. The old batch tasted great! Am I going to die?
I’d always been told not to use plastic containers. glass or stone
All of my krout cutters are probably close to 100 years, May I ask where you got a new ?
I would use glass containers ,plastic is not good for fermenting, cause plastic cause its own gas. Also I would take my metal jewelry off while working with this. Just saying….
Why are you not wearing clean rubber gloves to pack the cabbage in the jar?
Better to just cut it with a knife it’s a lot faster !
Easy, but choices of methods. Bravo Zulu!
Very well done Mam.
Thank you!
