I recommend using jars. Much easier to get airtight, and all the pickles need to be submerged. Maybe not enough salt as well.

It needs to be in a jar. You didn’t even bother to google this?

Why tf would you do it in a sheet pan? Did you even attempt to find information on it or did you wing it

Are you accidentally calling fermentation pickling by chance?

This just tells me you are incapable of following any directions.

Bro threw brine and cucumbers into an old drawer and thought that was pickling

Yup. That’s not how you’re supposed to do that.

I may not be a smart man, but that’s not what pickles look like.

You do know there’s a legit reason pickled stuff is often made in air tight containers, right?

As someone who grows cucumbers to make pickles this is hurting my soul but I know you don’t have the wherewithal to figure out how to grow anything based off of whatever the fuck this picture is so at least you didn’t waste too much of your time.

You have way too much exposed cucumber. Them being fully submerged in the salty brine is what keeps them from molding.

Looks good!

Tbh, most of this looks like kahm yeast, which is fairly common and harmless in lactoferments. But it also looks like there could be large pockets of bad fuzz in there. . .

you were supposed to press it down with something flat, making cucumbers fully dipped.

Why would you do this in a pan and not a jar xD
Jeramy_Jones
When you ferment you want to do it in a deep container with as little surface area in contact with the open air as possible, all the fermenting product needs to be *under the brine* and you should cover the top of the container with something that lets gases escape but keeps bacteria from falling into the ferment.
If you try again, use at minimum 2% salt by weight, do it in a food safe plastic or glass container and put several layers of cheesecloth over the lid, or use a screw on lid but leave it loose.

What’s this? Pickles marinated in mold and undiscovered diseases?

im crying whyyyy… i feel like its common knowledge the container at least needs to be air tight?

You know how pickles come in air tight jars? This is the reason, or more like to prevent this shit from happening 😂

You attempted pickling without using a sealed environment? Someone wants botulism.

Wrong container. My parents do make similar cucumbers. ‘Rychlokvašky’ loosely translated quick starters/fermentation.
Salted water, horseradish, dill, pepper. Can add other stuff based on your tastes. They throw it into a tall container and submerge everything in the salted water. It takes a few days to ferment and it does make this white mold on top that is gathered with a spoon and thrown out.
Now, personally, I don’t like them and prefer classic pickles in vinegar, but it’s edible and some people like them 🤷

Is that *mold???*
you fucked up pickling so bad there’s mold
Not enough vinegar maybe?
Pickles need to be airtight. That’s not airtight.
