Sauer Stick - Wooden Vegetable Fermentation Tamper - Cabbage Sauerkraut Pounder - Fermenting Food Mashers and Packers

I was amazed at the workmanship of this stick. My father used to do beautiful woodwork and this is equal to his quality. I mean, it's just a kitchen tool to pound cabbage for sauerkraut, and I didn't expect something that would be worthy of display! It's also efficient. The length is perfect, the wood is very smooth. I used the wide end to pound in the bowl, while the smaller end fit perfectly into the jar for additional pounding and pressing. I would buy this again.

Was using the butt-end of a meat clever to tamp down my sauerkraut makings. Then I got this tamper tool and wow, what a difference; saves time and can now pack more cabbage in the canning jar. It's both quick and efficient for tamping cabbage for sauerkraut!

This is exactly what I needed to help me prepare my naturally fermented sauerkraut. It is large, heavy and high quality. When not in use, it is also very pretty and looks good stored on my soffit with decorative baskets, crocks, and other larger items. Not expensive, beautiful and very, very functional.

I would give this 5 stars for the type of wood, the wood's quality, the stompers shape and smooth surface, but it gets 4 stars since no matter what I try, I cannot remove the glue residue that remains on the wood after a difficult effort to remove the sticker. Now, when I use it, my hands stick to the glue residue. Not good.

I love the look, weight and length. It is beautiful and adds to my kitchen decor.I just make 13 containers of fermented veggies so will need to wait to use it BUT I knowby looking at it and feeling it it will Easily do the jobTU

This stick is sturdy, easy to clean, great product. The conic shape allows an easy grip and tuning it around you can use the small end on smaller jars.The finish is great, no gaps where food could get stuck.

The item is fine. Why does a food processing item need a large sticker that is impossible to remove though? I can't even tell how many times I've tried to wash it to remove the sticker residue and it's still there.

The stick has many different uses. It's perfect for use as a pestle for grinding coffee beans in the 5 x 5 wood mortar. The pestle that came with my mortar is hollow and fragile. This stick is solid and sturdy! I highly recommend it!
