Le Creuset Stoneware 5 1/2" Canister with Wood Lid, 1 1/2 Quart, White

I used to keep my sourdough yeasties in a quart jar, but that yeast dries like plaster and is the dickens to clean off. What is wonderful about this crock are the straight sides. It is SO easy to stir with a spatula and then clean the edges down. It's wide enough, deep enough . .it's PERFECT. Sourdough yeasties produce gas - so the lid lifts as the little guys eat up the flour. It doesn't matter, because a closed jar will actually explode if you don't have an open seal - so I don't know if my crock would keep the lid tight or not, but I don't want it to for how i use it anyway. I love the crock and will have to order another of a different color, just because it's beautiful and useful!

The best for sure!

I bought this canister to add to other ones in a different color to give my kitchen a modern look. Love it

Perfect sourdough starter container!!!!! I just started making my own wild sourdough culture. I add 100g starter to 100g flour to 100g water to give you an idea of what it holds. Plenty of room to fully mix and fluff as it becomes mature. Pretty enough to keep on your counter, works great for rests in the fridge, cleans up beautifully. My only complaint....honestly it is a bit pricey, but so are other sourdough containers that come w/o screw top lids ; which I was looking to avoid. Instead of $75 for a fermentation crock (or more), I paid about $50.

Love! I keep my sugar in this and it stays nice and fresh! Also it looks beautiful on my counter!
