Description

HIC’s Mortar and Pestle Set is the perfect tool to grind items into a fine paste or powder. Beautifully crafted from solid fine-quality Carrara marble, the natural stone gives each piece a unique color and marble pattern. The mortar bowl and pestle work together to quickly grind and break down ingredients and speed up food preparation with minimum effort. Grind fresh ingredients, like cloves of garlic, herbs and spices, peppercorns or cinnamon, nuts, grains, and seeds, into a fine paste or powder. Make aromatic dry rubs, curry pastes, pestos, nut butters, spreads, and so much more. Even use it as a pill crusher to pulverize harder-to-swallow pills! Essential tools for those practicing homeopathy, the art of healing through natural remedies, HIC’s Mortar and Pestle Set offers effortless preparation of herbal and homeopathic remedies. So easy to use. Simply place an item into the mortar bowl. Hold the pestle by the handle and, using a firm pressure, make a circular stirring-like motion to grind your item into a paste or powder. Harder items, like peppercorns, may need the surface cracked before they can be ground. Firmly, but gently, tap the item with the pestle, then grind into the desired consistency. Pestle and mortar are both made from solid Carrara marble to complement kitchen countertops and any home decor. Hand wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

  • Good product

Just the right size and functionality I was looking for

  • Where Has This Been All My Life...?? : D
Size: 4-Inch, Mushroom
Where has this thing been all my life...?? I am a Pink Mediterranean Sea Salt Junkie... lol And this is the perfect Grinder for it. I buy it coarse & grind it up into all different kinds of textures. It really brings out that gentle crunchiness Pink Sea Salt brings to the table. I've seen the mixed reviews here, & if you feel yours really was not made right, I would definitely send it back for an exchange. Mine didn't arrive perfect, because these are hand crafted, but it didn't arrive with the glaring defects in workmanship that others are experiencing. If it doesn't look right, you should be able to exchange it for one that is. Mine looks, operates, & fits together fine. Some people are concerned that they are eating finely ground marble along with their salts or spices. I see what they mean, but there's probably actually more of that same material in my Sea Salts, than is coming off of my Grinder. According to the Wikipedia, "Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams, and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)." Calcium Carbonate is commonly used in Calcium supplements & dietary antacid tablets. So like Sea Salts...it is organic. If you don't like the texture of your ground spices or salts, practice with it. You'll get better at using it over time. When you grind, work things around in small circles around the curve of the bowl. The more I experiment with mine, I get a better feel for it, and the nicer & more interesting my textures are coming out. The one con I have for this item is that it arrived with a major crack in the marble that runs down one side. It is otherwise well-made, but I hope it does not crack all the way across & break apart over time. I'm not exchanging it because other than this it is well-made. ... show more

  • Impressed! But a little confused?
Size: 4-Inch, Traditional
Overall, great product. Both the mortar and pestle came in one piece. I purchased this to grind old watercolors down to re-wet and transfer them from an oversized plastic palette to a smaller, travel-sized metal one from Meeden. I was a little worried the pigments would permanently stain the marble (hello, it's white) but it cleaned up almost completely with dish soap and a little scrubbing, which is amazing considering I ground up ALL my colors from bright reds to dark blue and even black in this thing. It's a good size – more than enough for my art purposes, and big enough for basic kitchen use. And I beat the hell out of it crushing my rock-hard watercolors into powder, so pill crushing would be a cinch. The pestle is nice and chunky, so it's easy to grip. Only complaint is unevenness on the mortar's bottom curve; tried to take a good photo. Close to the center, there is a little circular ridge that pops up, then dips back down right in the middle, a little deeper than you'd expect the center to be if ground evenly. Is this a defect? I'm sure it'll work fine anyway, but it's admittedly annoying. I can't decide if I want to risk grinding it even myself or dealing with a return. ... show more

  • Absolute dirt, hopefully dirt will forgive me for insulting it so bad
Size: 4-Inch, Mushroom
The mortar is grooved with a crater in the middle that the pestle can't even get into so you end up with chunks you have to dig out and put on the side of the mortar somewhere. After that your have to keep it straight up and not try to use the pestle at an angle because if doesn't actually hit the side at that point. When you use the set, if any part of the pestle rubs into the mortar a fine stone dust is created so you end up with stone dust in whatever you are crushing. The only way to fix this is to get sandpaper and sand down the inside of the mortar, which is a pain. I only read the reviews of this product AFTER I had it and used it. I noticed a good number of people who have this same issue. When I first received the set I was inspecting it for damage and found the polish on the outside was chipping off of the pestle and some was overhanging the side. I had to go over the rim of the pestle and chip off all of the sharp edges of the pestle. With this finally done I tried moving the pestle around in the mortar and it would bind often and if you are really trying to get a fine consistency it doesn't seem like the pestle even hits the bottom of the mortar. The sides of the pestle hit more then the rest of it. One of the points in the description states "Closely fitted design, with smooth action and optimized grinding surface helps speed up food preparation and minimize effort." This is an absolute falsehood other than the closely fitted design part. The action is anything but smooth and the grinding surface of the pestle does not actually hit everywhere in the mortar. If you like to modify the things you buy so they work correctly this is a great buy. But, if you would like the things you buy to work out of the box as designed and advertised I would stay away from this one. ... show more
