Masontops Pickle Packer - Acacia Wood Vegetable Fermentation Tamper - Cabbage Sauerkraut Pounder - Fermenting Food Tool

As many of you people these days do your own fermenting you all know it can be a bit harsh on your hands especially when making sauerkraut. Having to pummel that salted cabbage for a while made my hands so sore that I bought this pickle packer and I’m so glad I did. It’s perfect for the job and does it in half the time. It’s well made from quality wood and is comfortable to hold. Well worth the money in my opinion. I really recommend this handy little gadget so get one and it will soon become your favourite kitchen tool.

Despite knowing about and recommending one of these for anyone getting into fermenting, for years, I only recently allowed myself the small extravagance of buying one for myself. So I have lots of experience of using *other* things to pack sauerkraut and kimchi into jars. For examples, big metal spoons, colander spoons, potato mashers, rolling pins. None of these are quite as good as this simple tamper, nor are they as much 'fun' to use. This just feels right somehow, and adds to the pleasure of food preparation by feeling good in the hand and gosh, yes, the cabbage is appropriately packed. Fit for purpose! Also super easy to clean given its shape, no difficult to wipe or scrub parts. Definitely not needed, but a nice part of a fermenting kit.

Been used for 6 months now, good tool for packing fruit into jars when bottling. Looks good as well easy to clean

This is a really lovely piece of wood and works very well but I have dropped a star because it had a sticky label on the end which comes into contact with the food and it has proved impossible to remove all the sticky residue which is a great shame - if I put it down on something it sticks to it. It should come with a detachable label tied on with string.

Looks exactly as pictured and advertised , only 1 remark is that the sticker is impossible to get of the top! further absolutely a must have for home cooking, fermenting or flattening anything really

A beautiful piece of hardwood - well finished and fit for purpose. Don't understand some of the negative reviews. Clean off any sticky residue from removal of the sticker, using e.g. lighter fuel, wash and you're ready to plunge.

Good quality product

Ideal implement for tamping down ferments and is not out of place when left on the counter top
