AdHoc Taru Mortar & Pestle

Yes, because the wood is unfinished, it is best to hand wash it with mild soap and water and dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out or absorbing strong odors, you should occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral oil.

Yes, the pestle is crafted from solid granite, providing the necessary weight and density to crush peppercorns, seeds, and dried herbs with minimal physical effort.

While granite is generally non-porous, the acacia wood bowl is a natural material. It is recommended to wipe it clean immediately after use to prevent strong aromatics like garlic or chili from lingering in the wood grain.

With a 4.5-inch diameter and a generous interior volume, this mortar is sized perfectly for standard kitchen tasks like making a batch of pesto, grinding spices for a rub, or mashing garlic and herbs for a marinade.

The interior is designed with an optimized geometry that provides enough texture to effectively grip and grind ingredients, ensuring you get a consistent texture rather than just pushing items around the bowl.
