Wooden Cabbage stomper, pounder, tamper for sauerkraut and more
Whatever you want to call it; stomper, stamper, tamper, pounder, mallet, or masher, this kitchen tool gets the job done. These Sauerkraut Tampers are turned of solid wood, salvaged from trees blown down in storms that would have been left in the woods to rot or used for firewood. When you purchase one of these Sauerkraut Tampers from us you are helping to preserve healthy forest management.Because these Kraut Pounders are made by a local craftsman by hand, each one has a slightly different shape, feel, color and appearance, but each and everyone is made with your needs in mind and is ready to be of service to you.These Wooden Cabbage Tampers measure 24 inches long, by 31/2 inches in diameter. Of course, all measurements are approximate and will vary slightly. The 24 inch length is adequate for you to have good reach in even a large sauerkraut crock. The wide base gives you good surface area for packing after each new layer of cabbage, salt, and spices is added to your crock. Used in circular patterns it releases juices from the cabbage, giving you a good pack, and getting your fermentation off to a good start.To wash your Wooden Sauerkraut Tamper, simply scrub throughly in warm water, wipe dripping water immediately, and set to dry. The Wooden Cabbage-Sauerkraut Tamper is a wonderful companion to our Harsh Crocks.
