Brand name[edit]

does this page seem like an ad to anyone else? it's about a specific brand of crock. I am in doubt as to it's notability.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.144.16.61 (talk) 17:08, 10 December 2007

Definitely a noteworthy invention if you have any interest in fermentation. IMO, it's like other inventions that are commonly identified with the inventor or most prominent marketer. Eg. hook and loop redirects to Velcro. - N1h1l (talk) 22:21, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its looks like an ad to me. The book "The Food of China" By E. N. Anderson says "The cleverest is a very ancient type -- unique among early cultures --that achives an absolutely airtight fermentation seal by fitting the cover into a water-filled trough along the rim of the vessel. This idea spread widely in ancient days, but apparently originated in China." Ancient examples can seen on Travel Channel's food shows about korea/china.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.133.161.42 (talk) 16:33, 14 March 2009

I believe gärtopf is the generic term for this device in German, and Harsch/Südkeramik is a brand, one amongst various makers. I think the article should be at fermentation crock, and I will move it there. ENeville (talk) 05:05, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
