The other day I suddenly realized, "I 'need' a mortar and pestle!"
I researched for a couple days and decided one with a 2c capacity, in unpolished granite would be just right for me. After getting it narrowed down to three, this one kept rising to the top with excellent ratings.
It arrived today. I did the 'cleaning' they recommended, by grinding some raw white rice, boy that's tough stuff!
After that, I rinsed and seasoned it, also as recommended, with 4 garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon each of salt, pepper and cumin. If that scent doesn't leave you craving chili, possibly nothing will! Then I rinsed, now it's drying, and then. . .it's ready to use!
This feels like the perfect one for me. I'll let you know if I discover any problems as I use it. Sure is a cute little thing! . .Lin
