EZ-Grip Mortar & Pestle

• APOTHECARY GRADE PORCELAIN - Pharmacies traditionally use non-porous porcelain to grind medication, with great reason. Wood absorbs the taste of the previous grind; marble or granite create powder; stone is hard to clean and you can't use soap on it; stainless steel can rust. Our easy-to-clean porcelain mortar and pestle lets you grind spices, nuts, and coffee, muddle drinks, prepare human or pet medication, make guacamole, and more.
• DISHWASHER SAFE, EASY TO CLEAN AND BUILT TO LAST - Our dishwasher safe mortar and pestle stands up to repeated cleaning and won't absorb odors or transfer flavors. The unglazed grinding surface prevents flaking or powdering. Porcelain is the ideal material to grind anything.
• GREAT FOR ARTHRITIS AND WRIST INJURIES - Our EZ-Grip pestle and silicone mortar bowl ensure a firm, strong grip and prevent sliding. The silicone base keeps the mortar still while you use it, and the pestle has a silicone handle to make grinding easier. No more struggling to find your grip!
• USEFUL IN ANY HOME KITCHEN OR TO GRIND MEDICATION - Great for powdering herbs, grains, spices, nuts, seeds, teas, bread, and biscuits (for homemade bread crumbs!), science experiments, or even crushing medicines for pets and humans alike. Ideal for unlocking the hidden oils in your everyday dry spices.
• PRODUCT MEASUREMENTS - Mortar: 4.5 inches across, 3.25 inches tall. Pestle: 5.5 inches tall.

The mortar & pestle is an ancient tool that's been around for millennia, with the earliest examples dating back to 35,000 BC. Crushing the fibers of herbs, as opposed to chopping through them (like with a spice grinder), releases the full range of essential oils, flavors and aromatics they contain. Hand grinding is what gives chili and curry pastes that distinctive depth of flavor you won't get from a food processor. The apothecary-grade porcelain material is strong and non-porous, dishwasher safe, and also easy to clean in the sink with soap and water.
