King Arthur Baking Company Sourdough Crock

The primary advantage of glass is visibility. Because you can see the starter from the outside, you can easily monitor bubbles, texture, and fermentation activity without having to remove the lid and disrupt the environment.

No, the lid is designed to sit securely on top while remaining loose enough to allow gases produced during fermentation to escape. This prevents pressure buildup while still protecting your starter from dust or debris.

The markings are spaced in 1/4-inch increments, allowing you to precisely track how much your starter has risen after a feeding. This helps you determine exactly when your starter has peaked and is ready to be used in a recipe.

No, this crock is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the glass container and the stainless steel lid with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and the markings.

This crock holds 1.25 quarts. It is sized appropriately for maintaining a standard amount of starter for weekly baking without taking up excessive counter space.
