Pickling pickles

Any of you guys make your own pickled vegetables?  Was watching a video about how you can instantly pickle anything with a decent vacuum chamber.  The oxygen in the vegetables is replaced with the brine.

I have made lacto pickles and quick pickles with a vacuum chamber sealer.

Both are good depending on what you are doing.

But do you really pickle pickles?

Can get one of these set up for $150.  Thought about building my own with plexiglass (so I can do fun stuff with high voltage arcs) but...

I spent a shit ton of time 2 summers ago making pickles. Waited forever before I opened the jars. They tasted like shit. Prettt fn disappointing

I have. I like to throw some onions and hot peppers in there. After some time everything is spicy.

I call quick pickles, "quickles". *teehee*

I’m pretty sure you pickle cucumbers. :slight_smile:

I got a ceramic fermenting crock on amazon for about $75 that I use to make pickles and other lacrofermented vegetables.  Works great!

That’s what I use when making honey oil, wax and shatter 

Id like to pickle some shit.

Closest we do is slicing up a cucumber and putting them in white vinegar w/salt and pepper for about 20 minutes before dinner. Good on salad or just on the side.

I like half sour pickles, not full dill.

What, we're placing orders now? PretendDoctorHuge hasn't even bought the equipment yet!

Where did he get the brine from? He never explained that.

I started making sauerkraut this past year (fermented cabbage) but I do it the old fashioned way, where you tamp the cabbage to release its own brine and then add pickling salt and let it ferment in a mason jar for three weeks. I eat a little bit every day since it’s good for gut health. I love pickles too so I’d be willing to try making a batch. Not sure about all this sciencey voodoo though.
