Zassenhaus Mortar & Pestle

No, this set is not dishwasher safe. Because it is made of cast iron, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it immediately to prevent rust.

Yes, the deep bowl design is specifically engineered to contain your ingredients. It provides plenty of room to work, even when you are grinding larger quantities of herbs or spices.

This is a heavy-duty piece, and its substantial weight is a major advantage. It stays firmly in place on your countertop while you grind, providing the stability you need for tougher ingredients.

The pour spout is designed to make transferring your finished pastes, sauces, or spice blends into a pan or bowl much cleaner and more precise, reducing spills and waste.
