    While the whole thing was a success, (they were VERY Tasty) I kinda forgot about the cucumbers pickling over the winter and just remembered I had them in the crock.

    Very oderifous situation. The cucumbers liquified inside but the skins turned into leather.

    So.... I was able to clean the Pickling Crock of the stank and nasties. The crock weights are not glazed and there was nothing I could do to get rid of the awful smell. So before I chucked them and asked a potter to make me new (glazed) ones, I figured since I had two cast iron frying pans that I got at a yard sale that needed stripping/reseasoning, I would stick the crock weights in the oven on a clean cycle with them.

    Worked like a charm!

    Ready for this year's attempt at pickling!
