GORILLA GRIP Mortar and Pestle Set

Yes, it is highly recommended to season your granite mortar and pestle before using it to remove any stone dust or grit from the manufacturing process. You can do this by grinding a small amount of white rice into a fine powder, discarding it, and repeating the process until the rice powder comes out clean.

The interior features an unpolished, textured surface. This rough finish is intentional, as it provides the necessary friction to effectively grind herbs, spices, and aromatics, ensuring better flavor extraction than a smooth surface would.

No, this set should be hand-washed only. Granite is porous and can be damaged by the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher, so simply rinse it with warm water and scrub with a brush to clean.

The set weighs 5.3 pounds, which provides a solid, heavy base that resists movement during use. It also comes with an optional foam bottom pad that you can attach to further protect your countertops and prevent any slipping.

The mortar has a 1.5-cup capacity. This is an ideal size for preparing standard batches of guacamole, pesto, spice rubs, or crushing garlic and ginger for a single meal.
