The item is fine. Why does a food processing item need a large sticker that is impossible to remove though? I can't even tell how many times I've tried to wash it to remove the sticker residue and it's still there.

I would give this 5 stars for the type of wood, the wood's quality, the stompers shape and smooth surface, but it gets 4 stars since no matter what I try, I cannot remove the glue residue that remains on the wood after a difficult effort to remove the sticker. Now, when I use it, my hands stick to the glue residue. Not good.

Ich habe diesen Stampfer gekauft, um Gemüse zu fermentieren. Die Produktbeschreibung entsprach meinen Vorstellungen. Nun meine ausführliche Meinung zum Produkt.Pros:- Größe und Abmessungen:Der Stampfer hat die perfekte Größe und passt gut in hohe Gläser. Das war mir sehr wichtig, damit ich das Gemüse ordentlich stampfen kann.- Gewicht und Handhabung:Er liegt gut in der Hand und hat ein angenehmes Gewicht. Man kann damit wirklich gut arbeiten.Contras:- Beschädigung:Zu meinem Ärger kam der Stampfer defekt an. Er hat einen Riss an der kleineren Seite, das macht ihn unbrauchbar. Man kann den Spalt nicht richtig reinigen, und ich möchte keine schädlichen Bakterien in meinem fermentierten Gemüse haben.- Aufkleber:Wie viele schon gesagt haben, ist da ein riesiger Aufkleber auf dem Stößel. Wer möchte denn Kleberreste in seinem Essen?- Logoprägung:Die Prägung des Logos am breiten Ende des Stössels ist tief und rau. Auch das ist eine perfekte Brutstätte für Bakterien, was mich bei einem solchen Produkt wirklich stört.- Verpackung:Der Stampfer kam nur in einer Luftpolsterfolie, was nicht besonders hochwertig wirkt. Dafür, dass es ein empfindliches Küchenwerkzeug ist, hätte ich eine bessere Verpackung erwartet.Fazit:Insgesamt bin ich enttäuscht. Der Stampfer könnte so toll sein, aber diese Mängel machen ihn für mich unbrauchbar. Ich finde es wirklich schade, weil er ansonsten gut aussieht und eine passende Größe hat. Leider muss ich ihn zurücksenden. Der Hersteller sollte die erwähnten Mängel unbedingt beheben.

The stick has many different uses. It's perfect for use as a pestle for grinding coffee beans in the 5 x 5 wood mortar. The pestle that came with my mortar is hollow and fragile. This stick is solid and sturdy! I highly recommend it!

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!

I was amazed at the workmanship of this stick. My father used to do beautiful woodwork and this is equal to his quality. I mean, it's just a kitchen tool to pound cabbage for sauerkraut, and I didn't expect something that would be worthy of display! It's also efficient. The length is perfect, the wood is very smooth. I used the wide end to pound in the bowl, while the smaller end fit perfectly into the jar for additional pounding and pressing. I would buy this again.

This stick is sturdy, easy to clean, great product. The conic shape allows an easy grip and tuning it around you can use the small end on smaller jars.The finish is great, no gaps where food could get stuck.

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.
