Wooden Sauerkraut Pounder with Easy Grip Handle

Regular price $29.90

Unit price per 

Craving homemade sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, and other fermented mixed vegetables? Make quick pickled vegetables with this easy to grip wooden pounder.

Known as a kraut crusher, stomper, tamper, plunger, muddler, basher, or masher, this wooden sauerkraut pounder is perfect for smashing and salting anything, from red cabbage to Asian vegetables.

Our wooden tamper is crafted from a single piece of beechwood timber and designed to last a lifetime. 

Why we made this

In 2018, we led a workshop tour across New Zealand with Sharon Flynn, author of "Ferment for Good."  We made all the lacto fermented vegetables for attendees to sample, and that involved a lot of making sauerkraut in a jar and a lot of cabbage crushing. We soon realized the importance of a lightweight, durable, and easy-to-grip kraut pounder.

We tried and tested a few prototypes before settling on this wooden sauerkraut pounder. Designed with home fermenters in mind, it is the perfect size for pounding and packing veggies into mason jars. Whether you're new to making ferments or are a pickling pro, we guarantee you'll love this product.

    This is the best kitchen tool I've bought in a while. It does the job so well, and the experience of making sauerkraut is much easier than using my fingers.. I didn't actually know it existed until I saw a lady on YouTube using one, so I researched it online, and found this company who supply them. Very happy with my purchase!

    Perfect little sauerkraut pounder (stomper, tamper, paddle, etc)

    This feels lovely in the hand: nice and smooth and a good weight (not too heavy, not too light, but just RIGHT!) I appreciate that it fits well in narrow-mouth jars, and also the up-front reminders about not oiling the pounder and to sterilise it with boiling water before using on your fermentable vegetables.

    Also, the turnaround time between ordering and receiving was very quick.
