[duplicate] - Set of delicious jelly and caramel sweets arranged in lines by type")
I'm looking for ways I can use containers to mix and store kimchi from the thrift store. I don't want to buy special containers, unless I have to. I've seen plastic bowls and the like used to mix kimchi or when you do that initial salting (I've never made it, only watched others). After that I wondered if I could use things like canisters with lock lid or plain plastic (kitchen) containers. I'm sure you've been to a thrift store, so you can imagine the hodgepodge of possibilities.
I wanted to make sauerkraut too, and thought the lockdown canister might work? Maybe if I didn't lock it? Those crocks are expensive.
Best Answer
To mix, use any bowl that won't be damaged by the salt. I would stay away from metal or wood, anything else would be fine.
To store, just use a glass jar. I usually use a half gallon canning jar, but if you're making a lot you can use a gallon jar.
Cover the cabbage with a big flat cabbage leaf. (Or a grape leaf). Press down, so the leaf is covered with brine. Next you just need a weight. What I like to use for this is a plastic bag: get a big one(like the kind you put produce in at the grocery store), and fill with some water. Put that in your jar on top of the cabbage leaf, being careful not to spill any water.
