Product Description
A mortar and pestle is a kitchen device used since ancient times to prepare ingredients or substances by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder. The mortar is a bowl, typically made of hardwood, ceramic, or stone. The pestle is a heavy and blunt club-shaped object, the end of which is used for crushing and grinding. The substance to be ground is placed in the mortar and ground, crushed or mixed using a pestle. Mortars and pestles have been used in cooking recipes and are also frequently associated with the profession of pharmacy due to their historical use in preparing medicines.

Chef’s Flavor Inducing Tips:
Season and break in your new mortar and pestle
When reviving a brand new mortar and pestle, it is recommended to first wash and dry before using, but you can take an extra moment to cure and season it too. This will prevent small grains that may break off into your food and give it unpleasant gritty texture, especially the rougher stone materials.
Curing:
Rinse and dry the new mortar and pestleAdd some uncooked rice and start mashing. You can add a few teaspoons of water to prevent the rice from flying out.Make sure to use the pestle and work its way up the sides. Once the rice turns into flower consistency, dump it out and repeat at least two more times. Rinse and dry. Now your mortar and pestle should be noticeably smoother and less gritty. It’s now ready for use.
Seasoning :
After curing the mortar and pestle, you can choose to season your tool with your choice of flavors. Simply add the desired ingredients and mash into a paste (add more salt as needed to thin out the mixture). Spread the paste trough out and let it sit and marinate for a few hours before rinsing.
