No doubt, this is a very nice crock. The picture on the web shows a taller crock, but the 5 liter size is actually a little wider and "squattier" than pictured. Height and width of the crock did not matter in my case.The crock I received had a few coarse pieces of pottery on the edges of the rims and on the bottom, which caused a deep scratch in my counter top. I used an emory board to smooth out the burrs, which took about thirty seconds. So just be careful when unpacking the crock...an emory board took off the rough spots very easily and did not leave any mark on the crock. This crock is heavy and extremely will packed for shipping. I really hesitated to spend $106.on one crock, but just the fact that this crock has a ring on the top which holds water to keep the contents clean has already made me a believer in it. This is a good size for one person. I would recommend a larger crock for a family.Follow up: This is a VERY heavy crock when full.
Well, after two very deep scratches on my corian counter, I am going to adhere some thick felt or cork to the bottom of the crock. I did not completely remove the burrs on the bottom of the crock and it really messed up my counter. Set it on a cork pad or heavy felt before placing it on any surface. I am loving the results of the fermenting, though!

TSM Products Fermentation Pot, 15 Liter capacity Review

Just finished my first batch of Saurkraut after 6 weeks in the TSM pot. I did not realize you need to fill it no more than 2/3 so the cabbage could expand as it ferments. The stones were tight against the rim inside. I did get them out and the kraut had absolutely NO mold on top. No odors in the house either. My husband thought I was nuts when I started this but now he is a believer. And the kraut is wonderful, crunchy, not too sour or salty; much better than store-bought.
