Thai Granite Mortar and Pestle Set

This solid, hand-carved Thai granite mortar and pestle is hefty and rock hard, its matte surface created friction for grinding but was smooth enough to wipe clean easily, and its heft made crushing a breeze from mashing delicate herbs to grinding stubborn peppercorns. The bowls deeply sloped shape and matte texture keep ingredients in the center. The pestle and inside surface of the mortar are polished smooth, so it will not absorb odors from food.

Granite mortar and pestle are ancient kitchen tools that no modern kitchen should be without. They are handy for everything from cracking peppercorns and crushing tender herbs to making curry paste, pesto, and guacamole

Beautiful appearance and will last a lifetime. A great kitchen tool's gift.
