What should I do if the density of the ceramic jar for kimchi is not enough?

First of all, the so-called pottery jar is a jar with no glaze on both sides. This jar has good air permeability and high automatic temperature regulation ability. For Sichuan pickles, if you want to use them for a long time, you should choose this kind of pottery pot. When the clay pot is used for a long time, the wall of the pot will absorb the aroma of kimchi water, and the kimchi that is slowly brewed will be particularly fragrant (just like making tea in a teapot). Moreover, the pottery pot has a great advantage that its ventilation function is very beneficial to the maintenance of kimchi, especially the cultivation and maintenance of anaerobic bacteria can get twice the result with half the effort.

Treatment of the altar body: after buying the clay altar, open it in a ventilated place for one day; Fill it with cold boiled water the next day and pour some vinegar in (the variety of vinegar is not limited); Change the water on the third day and fill it with water and pour vinegar as on the second day; On the fourth day, empty the jar, wash it with cold water for several times, and finally wipe it with high-alcohol liquor, and you can use it.

Treatment of the jar cover and jar rim: the jar cover is soaked in cold boiled water and vinegar, which can be carried out simultaneously on the third day of treating the jar body, that is, soaking for one day, and the next day can be treated as the fourth day of the jar body; The altar rim is synchronized with the altar body, but the difference is that the altar rim should be soaked in salt water.

Tip: Vinegar is used because it is acidic, which can corrode and kill the impurities and bacteria in the natural tiny Chacon of pottery pots (this Chacon will not affect the normal use of pots, and you can check or ask the old people at home like the old containers before). The reason why salt water is used in the altar rim of the jar is that it will have the function of sterilization and bacteriostasis after absorbing a lot of salt, which is of great help to the maintenance of kimchi in the future.

Ceramic pot

Ceramic pots are those with a layer of glass glaze inside or outside. This kind of jar looks beautiful. As for whether it is good or not, we can only say that the ceramic jar is between clay and glass jar.

Treatment of jar body: this jar is relatively simple to handle, and it will be dried in a ventilated place for one day on the first day; The next day, blanch the inside and outside with boiling water, and then continue to dry for one day; On the third day, soak in cold boiled water and salt for one day; On the fourth day, the treatment method is the same as the mud cylinder.

Treatment of tank cover and tank edge: this step is the same as that of pottery tank.

Glass jar

The biggest advantage of the glass jar is that you can see the kimchi inside, and the others are not as good as the above two.

Glass jars are also easy to operate. Just scald it with boiling water, and then wipe it evenly with high-alcohol liquor. Pay attention to the temperature difference when ironing. If the temperature difference is large, the glass jar is easy to break! If it is summer or the room temperature is high, if the jar cracks, it is the quality problem of the jar! )

Tip: When buying a glass jar, pay attention to the thickness of the jar. Some manufacturers cut corners and make cans very thin! Don't say hot, sometimes a slight bump will cause the jar to break!
