Slaw cutter
| Description: |
The average homesteader usually had a slaw cutter or “kraut cutter” in her kitchen. To make sauerkraut, the cabbage is sliced into strips with the cutter, piled into a large container like a barrel, and then mashed until the juice covers the cabbage strips. It is left to ferment for 14 days or so, and then it is ready to serve and eat! Cutters are used today for cutting cabbage, as well as other vegetables. |
