Wooden Weight

Postby ltwig on Fri May 30, 2014 4:44 pm

Hello! I received a crock for my birthday that came with a wooden weight. When I tried to remove the saurkraut I was making, I realized that the wood had expanded and is now thoroughly stuck inside of the crock. Any thoughts on how to remove it? I dumped all of the liquid out, and it has been drying out for 2 days, but it is still not budging... Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thanks!

You've probably sorted it by now. Warming it to dry it out is probably the way to do it. Once the water is gone it should shrink and come out.

Then you will need to find a way to prevent it in future such as making the weight smaller by using some sandpaper or a form of wood file or similar.
