IMUSA Small Bamboo Mortar and Pestle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved how comfortable the handle. I used mine to crush up spices and herbs for dinners and it didn't mess with my arthritis. The product stood well and didn't tip or anything while in use like other ones I've used previously either so that was great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and was able to crush fresh garlic with ease to bring out more flavor in my dishes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I evaluated the Mortar and Pestle with a number of spices. Cilantro, Parsley, Dried Chili Peppers and Basil. The product worked best with the dried Chili Peppers. The Peppers were crushed evenly and surprisingly smaller than expected. When using the product with the Cilantro and Parsley it enhanced the flavor of the spices. The spices became more aromatic than if I just chopped the spices. When using the product with the Basil it had ordinary results, The product wasn't too effective in grinding the Basil leaves, it still enhanced the aroma of the Basil. After using the product, the cleanup was easy and the scent of the spice in the Mortar did not stay. That was an initial concern. The product is attractive and designed well. The Pestle is shaped perfectly to grind in every area of the Mortar. I would say the only negative is the packaging. The packaging is simple and was torn when I received it. I could also see that it wouldn't present well in a retail environment. It would most likely get torn when maneuvering on a shelf. I feel that it should be packaged in a box.I feel that the quality is there but the packaging will definitely slow sales.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received an Imusa wooden mortar and pestle for free to try. I like the small size because it's perfect for grinding up herbs and spices, or even pills. The bottom is flat so it allows for even pressure during use. I found it easy to clean by hand with soap and water but would not put in the dishwasher. I would buy a larger size for other kitchen projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For starters, it's aesthetically so pleasing to look at and have on your countertop. Now to the functionality - I used it to grind garlic and it did so with a limited amount of pressure. However, given that it is Bamboo and thus lightweight, it kept moving more than expected ,so it had to be constantly held with one hand. Due to the light weight, the pressure applied in a normal mortar and pestle also needs to be toned down. Maybe having a gripping bottom would help one issue. Does the job, but only for lightweight grinding. Received this in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. The product is just as pictured and works how it is intended. The design is small and easy to store and the bamboo is smooth. I use it mainly to crush pills and supplements for my dog and so far it is easy to use and I've had no issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used mortar and pestles in the past particularly to muddle mint. This one is great quality. It has an easy to handle, smooth design. It's bamboo so you feel comfortable using a sustainable product. And it's fairly easy to clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my IMUSA Bamboo Mortar and Pestle! It's perfect for grinding fresh herbs, spices, and even garlic with ease. I love also my avocado salsa. The bamboo is lightweight yet durable, and it's easy to clean with just a quick rinse and dry. I use it by adding small amounts of ingredients and pressing in a circular motion—super effective! The size is ideal for small batches, though not great for larger quantities. It looks beautiful on my kitchen counter too. Great for anyone who enjoys fresh flavors and natural materials!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works great for grinding spices and other things in the kitchen. I don't use it daily but it's nice that it's cute enough to leave out on the counter for decor as well! Hand wash only cause it's not sealed but it's small and washes up quickly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted one of these!! It totally lives up to. The hype!! I love that it's bamboo easy to clean and use!!! Can be used for sooo much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great pestle. The size is not too big my kitchen, but not too small. It is actually a pretty good sized pestle to be called a small. The pestle bowl has great footing and height. The pestle head is perfect in length, providing half with entire grip and the other half for working your ingredients. The carving is lovely and the design very modern. Durable and heavy. Excellent product and quantity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mortar and pestle is great! If you want chunky salsa or making guacamole this is the perfect kitchen tool. I don't always like using the blender so this was amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This looks and feels like a quality product! I am excited to use it for the herbs I grow in my garden. I think it will speed up the processing time when I am preparing herbs for my family's meals.

Horrible… literally broke the first day I used it!

This is nice. Pity is wasn't stainless steel.

Too small for the price. It's looks good material however, have to wait after used couple times.

Great quality, very sturdy! Exceeded my expectations.

I love the natural look and the size of this item.

Wonderful! Perfect for mashing garlic, easy to clean as well, great quality for its price just don’t be to aggressive with it take your time mashing things do it smoothly and not aggressively
