...Today I pickled my first batch of cucumbers! ...I’ll admit, I use that cheap store-bought cucumber brine—but I like the taste, anyway...😋...I just went ahead and used my tiny garlic cloves—which I’d had to use up a while back—with the skins on; otherwise, I’d still be peeling them tomorrow 🙄...Since there weren’t too many jars, I left the Weck pot in the kitchen cabinet—the sous vide bath was just the right size, and it definitely guarantees precise temperature control...And yes, I like my pickles very crunchy, so a 20-minute hold time at 82° is just right! ...Since the brine is vinegar-based, the pickles will still keep for years! 🤷

Es gibt Gurkenaufguss aus dem Laden? Hab ich noch nie gesehen, ist das ein schweizer Ding?

...EDEKA, REWE und wie sie alle heißen, haben das zur Gurkensaison eigentlich immer im Programm...es gibt ihn zum Verdünnen 1:4, oder als fertigen Aufguß...der konzentrierte spart natürlich Verpackung! 🤷
