Know before you buy
While Carrara marble is a natural stone, the smooth interior finish is designed to be relatively non-porous for culinary use. To prevent lingering scents from strong ingredients like garlic or cumin, we recommend wiping it clean immediately after use.
Yes, the integrated rubber base provides a stable, non-slip foundation. It keeps the mortar securely in place on your countertop, even when you are applying firm pressure to grind tougher ingredients like nuts or dried spices.
Yes, this mortar and pestle set is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is often recommended to preserve the natural stone finish and prevent potential chipping over time.
Yes, this set is oven-safe up to 350°F. This is particularly useful if you need to gently warm spices to release their essential oils before grinding.
For oily residues, wash the mortar with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it to maintain the integrity of the marble.
No, because each piece is crafted from solid natural Carrara marble, the veining and color patterns will vary. You can expect your set to have a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.
