Can not say much about it, the pot came at all and is in operation. Most stores no longer carry those pots for lack of demand, and if, then very expensive. Important are the Henkel on the sides for better transport, especially if it is filled. The quality seems to agree, the cover is flush and there is no air inside. Hoping for a good result in 4 weeks when the sauerkraut is ready. Bubbling doing it this continuing moment during, so the fermentation process is erfolreich.
