Know before you buy
The rough, unpolished interior is essential for creating friction. This texture allows you to effectively grip and grind spices, herbs, and other ingredients rather than having them slide around the bowl.
With a 3.75-inch diameter, this set is best suited for smaller, individual portions or single-use quantities. It is ideal for grinding fresh herbs and spices for a meal, but you may need to work in batches for larger recipes.
Yes, it is recommended to 'season' a new stone mortar and pestle to remove any residual stone dust from the manufacturing process. You can do this by grinding a small amount of white rice into a fine powder, discarding it, and repeating the process until the powder remains clean.
Yes, the heavy-duty marble and stone construction is excellent for crushing pills into a fine powder. Because the material is non-porous, it is easy to clean thoroughly between uses to prevent cross-contamination.
Simply rinse the set with warm water and use a stiff brush to remove any stuck particles. Avoid using soap, as the stone can absorb the scent and potentially transfer it to your ingredients in the future.
