    Pickle goes directly in the pot. The heating element is in the
    outside container, and this transfers heat to the inside "liner"
    which then holds the pickle. Here in the US they are available very
    inexpensively (under $20 easy) for small simple ones at any "big box"
    store (think Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target) or any cooking
    supply/household goods store. If for some reason they aren't
    available where you live (and they may be called slow cookers or
    crock pots) you shouldn't have any trouble ordering from the
    internet. 

    The size you need depends on the size of items you will need to
    pickle, obviously :) Mine is fairly small with only an on/off
    setting. The lid must be pretty good because I have very little
    trouble with evaporation (on the other hand my studio stays fairly
    humid, so maybe that is it). I have larger/fancier ones with
    multiple settings that I actually cook in, but have never needed that
    level of sophistication (if you can use such a term for a crock pot!)
    in the studio.
