Description

8″ Granite Mortar and Pestle Set

Liberty Ware’s 5″ granite mortar and pestle is perfect for crushing and blending hard ingredients and spices. From pulverizing nuts to mashing chickpeas to grinding fragrant herbs, it is an indispensable kitchen tool for preparing a variety of dishes. Far from the typical apothecary mortar and pestle, this set is made of porous granite which gives it an earthy, natural look. Additionally, the granite will season itself over time and release more flavor into your ingredients.

Granite is especially prone to staining when exposed to acidic and oily foods. Wash the mortar and pestle in warm water, using a clean dishrag and mild washing up liquid or soap. Unscented is best, because scented liquids and soaps can leave a perfume residue on the mortar and pestle that could transfer to food.

While rinsing is enough before using most of the smoother types of mortar and pestle, such as those made from marble or stainless steel, a granite mortar and pestle needs to be seasoned or cured. As you continue to use your mortar and pestle, its surface will become smoother, thanks to all the grinding you do in it.

You no longer need to worry if your food processor is crushing ingredients to the right consistency. With this 8″ Granite Mortar and Pestle, you can control how fine or coarse your ingredients are ground to create your timeless recipes again and again. It is also great for mixologists looking to add freshly ground spices or muddled ingredients to their mixed drink concoctions!

Your mortar and pestle must be completely dry before storing. Granite is not as porous as volcanic rock so drying it is easier than drying a molcajete. After washing your mortar and pestle, use a towel to dry excess surface water. Leave it to dry for a while, flipping it upside down to dry it even better.
