Solid Granite, Designer-Edition Square Mortar & Pestle
On Sale All Weeend. We just got a wonderful review from a longtime user of this heavy-dutye mortar and pestle. Makes a great gift.
ago, and it has been a fixture in my kitchen, ever since. The wide base, and heft, balanced by being small enough to pick up and dump out right over the stove, is great, along with the quality of the machining, and the quality of the stone itself. I've got a molcajete, other granite sets, earthenware ones,
stoneware ones, wooden ones, a steel one, and have wasted way too much money on them. The quality of that square one from you guys has far exceeded every other one I've tried, and pushed me towards buying almost no powdered spices,
anymore, and using leaves more often.
Super-dense, attractive solid dark granite machined to a precise 6" square block.
This is made of the same stone as our traditional granite mortar and pestle.
The mortar is 2.5" tall and has a 1.5 cup capacity, pestle is 6" long with a nice taper, and the top half of the pestle has a granite polish applied to it which gives the look of it having two colors.
Complements any countertop, with an elegant style. The bottom, sides and top are all perfectly smooth, and the inner bowl is machined smooth as glass.
The top rim, sides, and top half of the pestle have a sealer applied which is the same product put on granite counter tops to bring out their natural color. The interior bowl and the lower half of the pestle do not have the sealer, as these darken after several dozen uses due to oil in the food. In this way, over time the mortar and pestle take on uniform color.
It works great as a natural grinder for all kinds of herbs & spices, and it would be a very nice gift particularly for someone who has granite countertops. Based on looks alone it's a great value.
Made in Thailand.
