Know before you buy
No, this mortar is not dishwasher safe. Due to the natural granite construction, we recommend hand washing with warm water and avoiding harsh detergents to preserve the stone's integrity.
The mortar weighs 6.55 kg (14.44 pounds). Its substantial weight and solid granite base provide excellent stability, ensuring it won't slide or tip while you are grinding tough ingredients.
Yes. The granite material is naturally resistant to fruit acids and essential oils, making it a safe and durable choice for creating pastes, marinades, and spice blends.
The interior of the mortar features a textured, natural stone surface. This roughness is intentional, as it provides the necessary friction to effectively crush herbs, spices, and garlic into fine pastes.
It is recommended to rinse the mortar thoroughly with water to remove any stone dust from the manufacturing process. Some users also choose to grind a small amount of white rice to 'season' the interior and ensure any loose particles are removed.
