MULTIPLE CULINARY USES

There’s plenty you can create with this great set of kitchen tools. Spice up your Indian cooking by crushing cardamom seeds, create flavorful Asian recipes by smashing fresh peeled ginger, or intensify your Italian bread by turning fresh garlic cloves into a paste. Beyond grinding herbs and spices, you can also use your mortar and pestle to whip up amazing guacamole, curry paste, pesto, or chimichurri.

PERFECT SHAPE & FORM

The best mortars are those with a deep round shape that keeps your ingredients from jumping or spilling out. Our 6-inch mortar with 2-cup capacity is sizeable enough for mashing small quantities of herbs and spices. Its pestle is broad with a rounded base so ingredients do not pop out from under. The mortar has a stable base that comes with a non-skid felt base to keep the granite from marking your countertop.

SATISFY THE PALATE

Get the most flavor out of your spices with this simple ancient device. By pounding and crushing the fibers of your herbs, our mortar and pestle set effectively releases the full range of essential oils, flavors, and aroma they contain. The depth of flavor that emerges in the hand-grinding process is something you won’t find if you are prepping your ingredients using a blender, electric grinder, or food processor.

EASY-TO-USE COOKING AID

Nothing makes ingredients more dynamic than the good old hand grinding from your traditional mortar and pestle. Even if you already have a food processor, your kitchen is not complete without this set. To use, fill the mortar 1/3 full only to avoid spillage and making crushing difficult. Be sure to start with the hardest ingredients to grind. If you need to grind a large number of ingredients, do so in batches.

SWEAT-FREE CLEANING & UPKEEP

Made of minimal-porosity granite stone, our mortar and pestle do not have a high tendency to absorb flavors and odors, making the set very easy to clean after each use. To clean, simply bring out some uncooked white rice. Grind it into powder to remove unwanted flavors from sticking to your tools. Dust the powder, and you’re done. You can also wash it with water afterwards and leave it to air dry. Try to avoid soap as much as you can.

A TIMELESS, FUNCTIONAL GIFT

While ancient, our mortar and pestle are tools no modern kitchen should be without. With all the exciting things one can create with this amazing set, it makes a thoughtful gift for homemakers, chefs, foodies, and those who love to prepare their food with herbs and spices. It comes in two sizes, 8-inch (5-cup) unpolished heavy granite and 6-inch (2-cup) set available in unpolished and black polished heavy granite.

User questions & answers

Question:	It's broken, who do I contact about this
Answer:	It is made in Taiwan. Taiwan is a small island south of Japan and east of China. They are generally a bit better on food safety and quality control, compared to China.

Answer:	It's made from recycled marble columns pulled out of the Aegan Sea in Greece
Question:	I'm trying to figure out where this is made and seeing answers that say china, mexico, and afghanistan. explain? im confus
Answer:	Hey Donald. I don't know how it stacks up to a store bought can, but I made a batch of whipped cream to go with dessert one night for 6 people and used roughly half of it. I'd say you get 10-12 servings out of the container and those are about the size of a quarter cup.
Question:	Item title header states that it will ship in 1-3 months! where is it made
Answer:	I make my whipped cream on Sunday morning and I use it every day for 7 days in my coffee, I do not go longer than 7 days because the Heavy Whipping Cream says to discard 7 days after opening. From day 1 to day 7 this product produces perfect whipped cream, if it seems to be getting a little watery I just shake it a few times and its back to light fluffy whipped cream.

Our giant size black and grey granite stone mortar and pestle crusher is handy for everything from cracking peppercorns and crushing tender herbs to making pesto, salsa and guacamole.

The huge, heavy duty, and broad-based pestle needs to do little more than fall on ingredients to crush them – very little elbow grease required. And the bowl’s big, extra deep sloped shape and rough matte texture keep ingredients in the centre, so there’s no need to chase them around with the pestle.
• HEALTHY AND EASY TO CLEAN – Our gray granite mortar and pestle is literally rock hard, is non-porous, will not absorb flavors and odours, and its matte surface creates friction for grinding but is smooth enough to wipe clean easily. Additionally, studies have shown that granite dust, which gets into the ingredients pounded in a granite mortar and pestle, contains 5% potassium and has associated with it 16 minerals. Potassium aids the functions of the cells and different organs in our bodies.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this require "seasoning" the way granite does or can it be used straight out of the box
Answer:	Yes
Question:	How deep are the 2 sides
Answer:	Dear Carrie, Thank you for that question, our marble mortar & pestle set is being manufactured in the Shaanxi province of China known for its quality stone slates. Hope this helps! Melanie
Question:	Is this product from China
Answer:	It might hold 1 cup but with that amount it would be ineffective. It is fine for dried herbs in small amounts and does a great job pulverizing them but it is not a machine! Buy yourself a coffee grinder.
Question:	Made in usa
Answer:	It is solid granite. You can clean it with mild dish soap and water, I probably wouldn’t put it in a dish washer though.

Question:	Is the inside of the mortar (bowl) relatively smooth or coarsely grooved
Answer:	The bowls interior is approximately 3 1/4” wide by just under 1 1/2” deep. It holds 3/4 cup of liquid. Hope this helps.
Question:	I am very intrested in buying and i want to know if this bowl will chip on me
Answer:	Yes, although I find a dedicated garlic press a better tool. Generally, they have many small holes through which the garlic is extruded, leaving the peel behind. I can just put a whole, unpeeled clove in the press, squeeze and rake the extruded garlic from the hol-ey surface with a sharp knife and then remove the peel from the chamber.
Question:	What are the actual interior dimensions of the Pestle? Also, what is an accurate volume
Answer:	Dear customer, We highly suggest to prep/season this marble mortar before you use it for the first time, the same as you would for a granite mortar. This will clean any stone dust that may have been left and the stone will be prepared for future grinding, mashing of the ingredients.

Question:	Is this made in China
Answer:	Hello, I am so sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience with your mortar and pestle. Our product is absolutely strong enough to resist crushing. We stand by the quality of our product, but sometimes due to the fragile nature of porcelain the mortar might become compromised during the shipping process and that sounds like what happened in your case. We are a small, family-owned company and it's our job to make it right to our customers who have a less than 5 star experience. Please contact us directly through Amazon with your order # and we will offer you a 100% refund or the option to receive a new mortar and pestle free of charge. Thank you for your feedback! -Julie, Co-Founder Cooler Kitchen
Question:	What are the measurements of the mortar and pestle
Answer:	Yes ,however this mortar and pestle require seasoning( the surface is not finished ). Read the instructions. We used white uncooked rice. I like that fashioned way.
Question:	Is it strong enough to resist crushing? Thanks
Answer:	I've never had that happen. It comes with two pads that attach to the bottom of the mortor so no movement that way.
