Review: Absolutely love this tamper! Great quality and works amazing! - Nice quality wood. I cannot believe how easy it is to push down on the sauerkraut/and or veggies and get enough water to cover. I could not believe how fast it worked. In the past, I used a meat mallet which took forever. I initially bought this tamper to flatten cheesecake crusts. I just haven't made a cheesecake yet. Also I did have to use a tiny bit of "Goo Gone" to get rid of the sticker's sticky residue. I wiped it on, rubbed off the stickiness quickly, and then washed that section well with a wet paper towel. That part of the stick never comes into contact with food so I felt it was okay to use that to remove it.
Review: Excellent! - 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.

## Features

- THE PERFECT KRAUT MASHER: Sauer Sticks are specially designed to mash vegetables to prepare them for fermenting and to pack them into Mason jars, fido jars, crocks and containers. Make German sauerkraut, Korean kimchi, and more.
- MADE OF REAL HEVEA WOOD: Smash, mash, pack and pound vegetables and cabbage to prepare for fermenting with this beautiful tool. The wood washes well and provides a comfortable, strong grip while in use.
- SAVES TIME AND STRENGTH: The tapered silhouette of the Sauer Stick fits comfortably in any hand. Pounding with the tamper efficiently breaks down vegetables to create a brine to simplify the process of making homemade ferments. We make it easy!
- DOUBLES AS AN XL MUDDLER: Sauer Sticks are not only for fermented veggies, it's a perfect muddler (or pestle) for crushing herbs, garlic, spices & fruit for drinks, sauces, dressings and more.
- FITS BOTH WIDE & REGULAR MOUTH JARS: The Sauer Stick tamper is sized at each end to fit either wide or regular mouth jars, plus other fermentation containers, like a ceramic crock. It measures 12" tall, 2.5" at the bottom and 1.5" at the top.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Once again, Seller please, Where is this made/machined?**
A: Am just a buyer of a gift, which our son likes very much for pushing down sauerkraut in jars. Do not know any other product details. Sorry.

**Q: Where is this made?**
A: Sarah, there is no information on the stick itself or the labels.  Mine is still in the plastic bubble wrap.  The two labels (one on bubble wrap and one on the wood itself) do not have any information about the origin of the stick, where made, etc.  I checked the web site, too.  They have no info listed - neither does Amazon.  You can contact them thru the web site.  It does say that it is a tropical wood and it is one piece - not two pieces glued together.  Nice stick but no origin is mentioned.  Sorry.

**Q: The item weight is listed as 2.4 oz. That doesn't seem very heavy and substantial to me. Is that correct?**
A: Weight:   14 - 15 ounces.    Returned home.   Weight according to kitchen spice scale is 14 - 15 ounces.    Good weight, heft and handling!      Prior answer while on the road:  sorry, not at home so can't weigh it.   However, it is definitely hefty enough to do a good job and I am a small person.  Yes, using it requires some elbow grease but the finish is very smooth and nicd: e.   I've really enjoyed it for crushing my ferments.

**Q: Would this work well when using a 1/2 gal wide mouth mason jar?**
A: Have used in 1/2 gallon mason with success..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works a treat
*by S***E on October 4, 2023*

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!
