Mortar and Pestle Set - Stainless Steel Herb and Spice Grinder Has A Rubber Base To Prevent Slipping - Easy To Clean And Dishwasher Safe - By Mastrad

I love to use a Mortar and Pestle often while cooking. I had one that was made of stone but I kept noticing every time I used it, it would turn my spices pink (same color as the bowl) and it looked to me like the spices sparkled, you know, kinda like stone residue was mixing in too. For fear of causing me future issues with kidney stones I decided it was time for a change....yeah really, Especially after suffering 13 Kidney stones. since I owned the stone Mortar. Well this is one metal and I love it. Used it today for the first time and I'm impressed!!! I think I will box up the other one and put it away. MORTAR (mixing bowl) DETAILS: (Mortar) [ID] is 4-1/2" inches (114.3mm) dia., it stands counter to top of bowl is 3-1/16" inches (77.7875mm) tall. (Mortar) [OD] is 5-1/4" inches (133.35mm) dia. The bottom of the base with the rubber foot ring in place (to keep the bowl from sliding) on your counter is approximately 3-5/8" inches (92.075mm) dia. MORTAR CAPACITY: Mortar when completely filled level to top, holds a maximum of 1-3/4 cups (400 ml) of Oregano and just a little over 2 cups (about 475 ml) of Liquid maximum. PESTLE (hand crushing tool) DETAILS: The Pestle is approximately 6-1/4" inches (158.75mm) long tip end to tip end, The balls of the Pestle (small end) is about 1-1/8" inches (28.575mm) dia., and the (large end) is about 2" inches (50.8mm) dia.

The mortar and pestle is well-made, solid, and secure when in use. Why didn't anyone explain to me how hard it actually is to grind spices? I have an appreciation for everyone, everywhere who uses this "technology" in lieu of a spice grinder, food processor, etc. Maybe I just needed the workout. If you do too, then this is the product for you.

This is a great addition to any modern-styled kitchen. The pestle is heavy and easy to handle, and the mortar has a rubberized grip on the bottom and will stay in place. It is not too big that you can't hold it while grinding, either. Both components are solid steel, and feel like they will last for a very long time.

Sturdy and works well, I like the style. It was received on time

I use this to scramble eggs. It is to slick for herbs, everything shoots out the edge. I would suggest a marble mortar and pestle.

The mortar seems to be thick solid steel. The pestle has a heavy ball. The total weight of the mortar and pestle is 1LBs 14OZ or 30 ounces. The sharp base is covered with a rubber ring. When that ring breaks and probably soon, the sharp base will cut your kitchen surfaces. I would recommend placing the mortar on a cutting board. The heavy pestle makes grinding easy. The surface is smooth stainless steel so its easy to clean. But it also means it may be harder to grind.

I finally tried using it about a month after buying, only to find that it absolutely does not work as it should. Unfortunately, the 30-day return window had passed, so now I'm stuck with a piece of decoration. Should have read the other reviews that said clearly that a spherical pestle can not grind anything against a mortar. Sure enough, trying to smash garlic cloves with this pestle resulted in them flying out of the mortar. Even those the I managed to start crushing would not mash very well with further effort. Trying to crush anything hard would be even more fruitless. Maybe, if I can find a pestle with a flat end, I might be able to use the mortar, but this pestle is very bad design.

Seems to be well made, and I like that I can use both ends of the pestle depending on what I'm grinding. First use was some pretty coarse material, and while there were some surface scratches, nothing I wouldn't expect. Great size.

Fait pour ce qu' il est conçu Bonne prise en main
