Today a friend gave me an ornamental-looking pot with a lid which would be a good size for making sauerkraut in.
1) How do I know if its finish is a safe surface for fermenting in?
2) What do I look for when examining it? (if you can tell this way)
3) If I succeed in finding out which company made it, what do I need to know/ask them?
I think that it is ceramic- it is shiny and white on the inside whilst it has some colour and hand-painted pictures on the outside. It looks expensive and it was from an expensive shop.
I phoned the shop, however they no longer stock the brand or have records. I have also been unable to find it online.
Thank you,
Angel
