14 Inch Sauerkraut Tamper for Packing Fermented Foods into Mason Jars Long Wooden Potato Masher Vegetable Pounder Eco-friendly Ash Tree Natural Solid Wood Packer

I liked this tamper. I did not like the packaging. The wood was smooth, sturdy and is one solid piece of wood. I recommend it if you are looking for a tamper.

Not glued and fast shipping!

This allows me to do little to no interfering with my sauerkraut after I chop the cabbage. I move it to the jar, sprinkle with salt, repeat until full, add the fermentation lock... and I am done. This pestle or masher or tamp or whatever you want to call it fits through the mouth of my jar easily and allows me to mash the stuff in the jar rather than mash and put into the jar. Either end can fit in your usual canning jar. Get fermentation locks and you are on your way to making delicious sauerk…raut. I also recommend the glass weights sold by the same company.

Very sturdy and well made!

Excellent product! As described.

Nice tamper. Easily reaches down to the bottom of a gallon glass jar. And through the side, if you get a bit overzealous whilst tamping thy kraut, as I did.Also works well to fend off would-be kitchen invaders whilst thou doth tampeth.

Perfectly sized at both ends for various vessels and a longer length for deeper reach when needed.

This tamper is very high quality, and the 2 sizes on the ends are perfect for mason jar filling. Check out the diameter before you buy, and compare to the others, many others are smaller than this one. I'd also recommend treating it with a food grade mineral oil like this one: Food Grade Mineral Oil for Cutting Boards, Countertops and Butcher Blocks https://amzn.to/35TscwU That will help keep it from drying out.

No strange stuff to ruin your foods.. Very nice ,even the packaging is done with care. I bought one for myself and one for a friend.

I make a lot of small-batch fermented food in canning jars. Some have wide mouths, some have regular. This tamper accommodates both very nicely. The wood is smooth and pleasing aesthetically and the tamper is long enough to get down into even the tall jars. It doesn't feel like it would do any damage if it accidentally struck the side of the jar going in, but I'm not very aggressive with my tamping. I'm very pleased, and even enjoy having it out where I can see it when I'm not using it. It's pr…etty as well as functional.
