Granite Pestle & Mortar, 17cm

I was a bit anxious about ordering this online (I wasn't sure that it would be big enough!). This product has exceeded my expectations, both in terms of size and functionality. It is very heavy and has withstood some hard bashing and muddling without moving! It was very easy to crush garlic and chillies to a paste within seconds. I look forward to using it for many years to come.

Fantastic quality and sturdy pestle and mortar. Perfect for crushing garlic, making pastes etc. It is very heavy which gives it stability while in use but also makes it a bit difficult to clean.

Robust, not in a fake WWF way, but in the stampeding herd of buffalo sense of the word. It didn't flinch when I pulverized cinnamon with an ease that sincerely surprised me. It's an investment, which far outshines any other pestle and mortar on the market currently, the fluorescent patches in the beautiful granite will enchant your pounding heart. Viva.

Had this for a few years now, and it is still going strong. It is nigh unbreakable, being made of granite (and it is heavy as a stone too). Indeed, it is far more likely to break other things, and that makes it perfect for grinding up all types of spices, herbs and whatever else you need to pound into a fine paste.

When I was comparing the available pestle and mortars here, this seemed the best choice for size and price. I was very happy when it arrived as it is sturdy and large enough to crush just about any mixture you can imagine. The stone makes it solid and perfect for use without worrying about it flying off the counter.

Great tool to really get more flavour into my cooking. I prefer this to the little spice blenders as you can make things so much finer than the blenders. Also, adding oils etc, makes for amazing marinades which I could not do before.

Only criticism I have, is that mine spins a little. Meaning, there is a little bevel in the middle making it slightly off balance...

Love this product. Have used it several times already to crush spices, make pesto, and even chutneys. It's built to last a lifetime, and more. It's aesthetically pleasing and looks great on the kitchen counter. It is also very heavy. But that's fine with me.

I like that it is polished on the outside, but left unpolished/rough on the inside. It makes it easier to achieve the desired result. I will probably be buying another soon. Seems like this can be passed on as an heirloom.

Really solid mortar, very happy with the "build" quality.

I bought this granite pestle and mortar without proper research, so I only found out after the purchase you have to condition the pestle and mortar.

I've tried mortars & pestles before but they never lasted, as I found them not fit for the task.

And then I purchased this one...ticks off all the boxes: Heavy and sturdy; grinding is a breeze as the rough interior calls for little effort. Indeed a great investment that will no doubt be around for many moons to come.

Just be aware that it has to be 'cured' and 'seasoned' before first use (this can be a laborious task but fortunately required only once). Read more

Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

With both parts made of rock-solid granite, the mortar and pestle is (literally) a heavy hitter, and arguably the most versatile type of large mortar and pestle you can own.

Its heft and weight, especially when combined with the stone-on-stone action that the all-granite build provides, make it ideal for one of its intended uses: making a Thai curry paste.

Because the inside of the mortar bowl and the pestle head aren't polished, they have slightly abrasive surfaces that also make them good for grinding. Read more

I always dreamed of having a large and heavy mortar and pestle to grind spice and herbs. I've seen others in shops and they did not appeal to me. Then I read the reviews on this one, and decided to buy it. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised to receive my purchase. It is everything I wished for in a mortar and pestle. Great product!
