Solid Granite Mortar and Pestle Set - 5.5 Inch - for Guacamole, Herbs, Spices, Garlic, Kitchen

Product Description A mortar and pestle is an ancient kitchen device used to prepare ingredients by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder. The mortar is typically a bowl made of hardwood, ceramic, or stone, while the pestle is a heavy, blunt club-shaped tool used for crushing and grinding. Ingredients are placed in the mortar and then ground, crushed, or mixed using the pestle. Mortars and pestles have been used in cooking and are also associated with pharmacy due to their use in preparing medicines.

Our Granite Mortar and Pestle Set is ideal for grinding herbs and spices before adding them to a recipe. It's handy for cracking peppercorns, crushing tender herbs, and making pesto and guacamole. These tools are essential for bringing out the full flavor of your ingredients, as they are designed to release the aromas and flavors of each ingredient.

Granite, marble, or stone mortars and pestles have the crushing weight and surface necessary to tackle a variety of tasks. They work well for crushing dried chilli peppers, fibrous ingredients, and herbs and spices. On the other hand, stainless steel options are durable, rust-free, and easy to clean, working well with garlic, nuts, herbs, and other ingredients that require gentle bruising.

Wooden mortars and pestles have pores that are great for allowing flavors to linger as the tool is used repeatedly. They are ideal for spices, garlic, and sauces.

To get the most out of your mortar and pestle, it's important to season and break it in. Rinsing and drying it is recommended before using, but you can also take an extra moment to cure and season it. Curing involves mashing uncooked rice in the mortar and pestle, while seasoning involves mashing your choice of flavors into a paste and letting it marinate before rinsing.

Our Granite Mortar and Pestle Set is constructed with a solid granite design, featuring a polished exterior with an unpolished interior for improved grinding. The interlocking crystal structure makes the granite tough and durable, allowing for the grinding of both hard and soft ingredients. This mortar and pestle can quickly crush spices and herbs and hold up to 1-1/4 US cups (300ml) of ingredients. It's food-safe, BPA-free, and easy to clean with warm water and air drying.
