MORTAR AND PESTLE - Does anyone on the thread have one? I didn’t and have ordered one made of granite.
We have had this 7” granite mortar & pestal for several years, and we love it. http://importfood.com/mortarpestle.html
We use it for grinding whole spices; cracking small amounts of grain; and have used it to make powders & curry paste. We also used it to turn a whole bunch of dried hot peppers into jars of pepper flakes. When I make deviled eggs, I use it to grind a mix of yellow & brown mustard seed into fresh mustard powder for the filling.
You did well in getting a granite one, as they are heavy enough to stay put; are extremely tough; and are non-reactive, so basically food-neutral. Easy to clean, too; usually only needs wiped out, but can be washed if necessary

I did research on these and I got the same one you have from the same company except I got the 6 inch which holds 1 1/2 cups. It isn’t here yet. I have to grow peppers, sweet and hot and herbs.
You are so accomplished, my efforts pale compared to what you do.
