Harsch crock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Harsch crock (also called a Gärtopf crock) is a type of stoneware fermentation crock produced by Harsch, a German company. The Harsch crock's unique design features a gutter in the rim. When filled with water, this gutter creates an airlock to prevent the food within from spoiling due to the development of surface molds.
