Caution
Many craftspersons use non-ferrous crockpots in lieu of the above professional pickle pots. Anything  comprised of iron (ie. ferrous) will immediately contaminate your pickle, so your crockpot container must be something like stoneware or plastic. Even the quick use of steel or stainless steel tweezers to remove items from your pickle pot will contaminate the pickle. Professionals use copper tongs to add and remove items from their pickle (clean non-metallic chopsticks can also be used).
