Description

Whether you’re honing your guacamole-making craft or simply love an authentic display for your savory appetizers, the Mortar and Pestle from Cole & Mason preps and serves your dips, dressings and sauces in classy, culinary style. A granite construction makes it easy for you to crush herbs and spices for flavorful pesto sauce or hummus, while the gray color seamlessly blends with the rest of your kitchen décor. Whether you treat it as a molcajete or use it to craft your own spice blends, this mortar and pestle set is a fine companion in your journey to culinary prowess.

Cole and Mason's Granite Mortar & Pestle is not only attractive but also hard wearing and will stand the test of time. Made completely of durable granite, this mortar and pestle is heavy, balanced and can withstand the pounding and grinding necessary to extract the most flavor out of herbs and spices. And since granite is non-porous, spices and oils will not be absorbed into the stone so they obtain their true flavor and strength. The choice of herbs and spices available today brings bold new flavors and colors into the kitchen. To help food lovers get the most from these ingredients, Cole and Mason offers a wide range of herb and spice items. Cole & Mason, part of the DKB Group, has been designing and developing kitchenware from its head office in England for almost a century. It has a well-established salt and pepper range, with a product for every job, from cooking to serving and eating, including manual and electronic mills, simple shakers and salt pigs (salt keepers), all manufactured with the highest quality materials and available in a wide choice of finishes.

Q: What’s best way to season it?

submitted by DC - 4 years ago
  • A: When you first get your set, you might notice some loose grit particles. To prevent these from ending up in your food, you can place a small handful of white rice in the mortar, add a tablespoon of water, and grind the mixture into a paste. Work the rice paste around every inner surface of the mortar. Rinse and repeat a few times until there is no longer any loose debris.

    I have purchased this for myself and as gifts for others. It is nice and solid while being fairly easy to store. The only downside is it is a bit small and can't make large quantities of things like pesto or chile pastes

    Galina - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
    A handy tool in the kitchen to grind small amounts of spices when a blender is not the best option. I love it. It is heavy enough to grind and at the same time light enough to kerp it in the kitchen counter.

    These work very well. I was skeptical whether they would add value on top of just putting a tray under the herb pot / repotting the herbs and watering them. They do: they last longer and are more stylish than having a supermarket herb pot out on the open. They are absolutely not necessary if you don't mind watering your herbs every couple of days, but I normally forget, and these last about a week so I'm very happy I have them.
