Re: Tamper recommendations?
Hi John,
I agree with you regarding porous materials used in food preparation areas however, Greg Pullmans Tampers use high denisity Jarrah and they are finished with an oil finish, not varnish. When you consider how many kitchen utensils and implements use wooden handles, bases or are entirely made from wood, I dont think an unvarnished wooden handled Tamper is an issue.
Another thing to keep in mind, each GP Tamper is unique and made by hand and if you factor that into the price you are getting not only a bargain but a work of art... not something thats been churned out by machines in the hundreds or thousands.
Just my $0.02 worth.
Mal.
