The kimchi pots used for a very long time in Korea were not even close to air tight. </p> <p>Fermentation also creates gas which will create pressure in an air tight container. Then when you open it you could spray kimchi juice. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/kimchi-fermentation-1#post-6570 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:13:20 +0000 Amelia 6570@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi, I am from Malaysia.
