Thai Granite Mortal and Pestle 1/6/13 - Revised!

I recently acquired this and it is a DREAM!!! It's nice and heavy! (Don't drop it on your foot!) and it grinds leaves like a coffee grinder in 2 minutes without the noise! I am in LOVE with mine and I if you decide to get one I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years to come.

Here are some instructions on the general mortar and pestle care:

1. Don't use a lot of soap. I mean sticking in your dishwater isn't going to hurt it but don't wash it with lots of dish soap. If you do it could absorb some of it and make your herbs or food smell and taste like it.

2. Lemon Juice! It kills bacteria, it adds to patina, and if you're grinding something that doesn't smell really nice, it takes care of that pretty good.

3. To protect your counter be sure to either use this on a folded towel or glue a piece of something non-slip to the bottom. (You don't want to be chasing your pesto all over the counter.)

Well, that's about it for this review and I hope you enjoyed it. Many Blessings!
