Layer Cabbage and Salt, and Begin Pressing

What happens here

Once sliced, begin placing the cabbage into the German Style 5L Harvest Pot. After adding a layer of cabbage, sprinkle pickling salt over it. The instruction manual indicates a ratio of 2 tablespoons of pickling salt per 5 pounds of cabbage. Using a flat wooden spoon or your clean fist, press the cabbage down firmly. This action helps to release moisture from the cabbage, initiating the formation of brine. Continue layering cabbage and salt, pressing down after each addition, until all the cabbage is in the pot and liquid starts to accumulate.

Goal: Combine cabbage and salt, and begin extracting liquid
