Crushing herbs, spices, nuts and condiments
This marble mortar and pestle set is suited to crushing herbs, spices, nuts and condiments, with a rugged marble surface for the task. It's made of real marble and needs to be handwashed only.[1]
Grinding aromatic pastes and spice blends
Use this marble mortar and pestle to grind herbs, garlic, and ginger into smooth, cohesive pastes for Thai curry pastes, Indian masalas, or za'atar blends. The non-porous marble won't absorb strong flavors or odors, keeping marinades pure in taste. Start with the driest ingredients and gradually add wetter ones to reach the consistency you want.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Marble Mortar And Pestle Set: Choose this if you want a real marble mortar and pestle with an elegant, polished look — the burgundy set shows natural white and beige veining on a dark red stone — and you mostly grind herbs, spices, nuts and condiments; marble's non-porous nature is said to keep pastes and marinades pure in taste. It measures about 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter and 8.5 cm (3.25 inches) tall in one size, with a thick-walled bowl and matching cylindrical pestle. Note that it is handwash only, so it won't suit anyone who wants dishwasher-safe kitchenware.[1,2,3,4] | Natural Stone Pestle And Mortar Set: Choose this if you want a natural stone mortar and pestle in a light grey shade for crushing herbs, spices, nuts and condiments, and you like the speckled, matte carved-stone look with a shallow bowl on a pedestal base. The mortar measures 4 inches by 3.25 inches (10 cm by 8.5 cm) and the tapered pestle is 5.5 inches (14 cm) long. Note that the set is hand-wash only, so it won't suit dishwasher cleaning routines.[5,6,7] |
