Product Description

HIC Kitchen’s Fine Porcelain Flying Saucer Mortar and Pestle Set is the perfect tool to grind items into a fine paste or powder. The mortar bowl and pestle work together to grind and break down ingredients quickly. It’s a helpful addition to kitchen items for speeding up food preparation with minimum effort. Quickly grind fresh ingredients, like cloves of garlic, herbs and spices, peppercorns or cinnamon, nuts, grains, and seeds, into a fine paste or powder. Make aromatic dry rubs, curry pastes, pestos, nut butters, spreads, and so much more. Even use it as a pill crusher to pulverize harder-to-swallow pills! Essential tools for those practicing homeopathy, the art of healing through natural remedies, HIC’s Mortar and Pestle Set offers effortless preparation of herbal and homeopathic remedies. So easy to use. Simply place an item into the mortar bowl. Hold the pestle by the handle and, using a firm pressure, make a circular stirring-like motion to grind your item into a paste or powder. Harder items, like peppercorns, may need the surface cracked before they can be ground. Firmly, but gently, tap the item with the pestle, then grind into the desired consistency. Pestle and mortar are both made from fine-quality porcelain to complement kitchen countertops and any home decor. A tradition since 1957, HIC’s fine-quality porcelain is durable, heat resistant, and free from lead and cadmium. It’s safe for use in the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler (to 350-degrees Fahrenheit), and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Brought to you by HIC-Harold Import Company.

Lo compré pensando en hacer molidos finos de especias y definitivamente no funciona. Se mancha y no se siente muy resiste. Pero eso un bonito detalle para tener en la mesa y disponer de pimienta quebrada o sal de mar más fina.
