This Kilner fermentation tool is a simple but essential accessory for anyone who wants to ferment more safely, consistently and with better quality.

The pounder is designed to:

• compact the vegetables inside the jar
• help release the natural brine
• eliminate air bubbles and create the anaerobic environment

Ideal for fermenting sauerkraut, kimchi and other fermented vegetables.

The textured head allows you to lightly break down the ingredients without over-crushing them, helping fermentation get started and bringing out the tangy, lively flavours of a well-made ferment.

Made from FSC-certified beech wood, a natural, sturdy, long-lasting material in keeping with conscious, artisanal fermentation.

Using this pounder helps keep the ingredients submerged in the brine, reducing the risk of oxidation and mould, and making the whole process cleaner, safer and more predictable — especially important for beginners, but just as valuable for experienced fermenters.

Should be hand-washed, dried after use and never left to soak, to preserve the wood and extend its life.

Kilner is a historic brand, founded in England over 180 years ago, known for the quality of its jars and tools for preserving and fermenting food. A solid choice for anyone who wants to ferment with simplicity, respect for the process, and good materials.
