My friend said to skip the airlock for my first sauerkraut, and it worked
My buddy Mark told me to just use a clean jar and a cabbage leaf as a lid for my first batch, saying airlocks were overkill. I was nervous but tried it with 5 pounds of green cabbage. After three weeks, it was perfectly tangy with no mold at all. Now I'm wondering if I should ever buy an airlock, or if this simple method is good enough for most veggie ferments. What's your take on using airlocks versus simple lids?
