Honeydak 2 Pcs Stainless Steel Sauerkraut Pounder 9.4" Kimchee Tamper | Vegetable Fermentation Pounder Tamper for Mason Jars Sauerkraut Crock Cabbage Pickle Fermenting Food Tool

Honeydak stainless steel sauerkraut pounder sold as a pair, about 9.4 inches long with roughly 1.2 inch flat ends. A no-wood option for packing kraut and kimchi into jars and crocks.

What we liked

  • + Stainless steel body that the listing says resists cracking and corrosion and can go in the dishwasher
  • + Two pieces in the box, so one can be kept as a spare or one kept for each jar size
  • + Hourglass shaped handle and flat ends are described as giving a non-slip grip and good mashing power

Trade-offs

  • - Sold as a 2-piece set, so it costs more than a single pounder if you only need one
  • - At about 9.4 inches it is short for large crocks, and steel is lighter in feel than hardwood for pounding
