Cooking method

• My husband's grandmother lived all her life on the state farm ..... she pickled cucumbers and tomatoes in makitra. When we lived there, she gave me recipes for barrel tomatoes and cucumbers.
  
• 
  
• These cucumbers were poured over with cold water and stood in the cellar in makitras and pots, on top of a clean napkin and a plate with a load. And it was necessary to wash off this napkin every 10 days. They ate them until March ... then they became that smell.
  

Oh, I have a makitra, inherited! Few already remember what it is! I will definitely soak the tomatoes!

I have makitra, inherited! Few already remember what it is

And what kind of animal is this? Curious...




Here's what I found on the Internet: "Makitra is a dish. In Ukraine, it is a wide, conical earthenware pot with a rough surface inside. It is used to grind poppy seeds, seeds, tobacco with special makogon. It is believed that the aroma is retained in makitra better than when grinding."
Sometimes makitra is used to warm sour milk to make cottage cheese.
In ancient times, there were also large makitras that were used for washing dishes. "
In my opinion, in it, in makitra, is it inconvenient to salt? After all, it is conical
Oh, I read so many interesting things about this pot. This is a symbol of the feminine principle, and the mortar with which the poppy was pounded in it, the grain is makogon - the masculine principle. Therefore, there are many wedding ceremonies associated with makitra. And in the old days they cut their hair by putting this pot on their head. "Under the pot" is "under the makitru"
