Product Details
This traditional granite pestle and mortar is ideal for grinding both dry and wet spices and spice blends. Granite’s inherently coarse texture provides superior friction compared to smooth ceramic or wood, making it much easier to pulverise tough fibers and oily nuts. Its significant density and weight do the heavy lifting for you, while its acid-resistant, non-porous surface ensures no flavors are absorbed or carried over between uses. The pestle fits comfortably in the hand and grinds the ingredients effectively. The mortar (bowl) has a 14cm diameter, making it the perfect size for small to medium portions. It also features a stable base and looks great left out on the counter, making it a fuss-free tool for quick and effective crushing to your desired consistency. Cleaning is quick and easy; simply rinse the mortar with soap and hot water after use and dry it thoroughly.
Why we love it
'Granite pestle and mortars are a staple in Indian and Thai cuisines, where heavy-duty stone is essential for coaxing the natural oils out of masalas and curry pastes. The deep base gives you plenty of space to mix while keeping things tidy.'
