Product Description

Heavy, balanced, and built to last. The Cole & Mason Silver Granite Mortar & Pestle is made entirely from durable granite — substantial enough to handle the pounding and grinding needed to extract maximum flavor from herbs, spices, and aromatics. Because granite is non-porous, spices and oils won’t be absorbed into the stone, so every ingredient retains its true flavor and strength. The unpolished interior and pestle tip provide the friction needed for effective grinding, while the attractive silver granite finish looks as good on the counter as it does in use.

Details & Dimensions

• Dimensions: 5.12" W × 5.12" D × 3.15" H — 4.08 lbs
• Material: 100% granite (silver finish)
• Unpolished mortar interior and pestle tip for effective grinding
• Non-porous granite — spices and oils are not absorbed
• Attractive silver granite finish

Use & Care

• Seasoning (first use): Before first use, grind white rice until powder, discard; repeat with garlic, then cumin with salt and pepper to remove stone dust and season the surface
• Use: Add ingredients in small batches; use a circular grinding motion for spices and a pounding motion for herbs and aromatics
• Cleaning: Rinse with warm water and air dry; do not use soap as it can be absorbed and affect flavor; do not place in dishwasher
