Product Description

HIC Kitchen’s Mortar and Pestle Set is the perfect tool to grind items into a fine paste or powder. Beautifully crafted from solid Carrara marble, the natural stone gives each piece a unique color and marble pattern. The mortar bowl and pestle work together to quickly grind and break down ingredients and speed up food preparation with minimum effort. 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, this 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 solid Carrara marble to complement kitchen countertops and any home decor. Hand wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Brought to you by HIC, a third-generation family owned and operated company in the USA since 1957.

    Product made in CHINA
    3 out of 5 stars
    Product made in CHINA
    I bought this because the information on the page says it was made in TAIWAN. But when I got the product, the box was labeled CHINA. There is NO WAY any seller from Taiwan is going to be selling something made in China. When I asked about this, your AI bot said the marble was quarried in Italy. So is China mining marble in Italy? This false information will result in many people who boycott China, like me, buying the product. So I docked it one star for that reason. Really, I should give it one star. I don't appreciate being told a lie, and legally speaking, that would constitute fraud. The other thing is that although it works well, I found it impossible to clean. The surface is rough, as it should be, but it trapped microparticles of herb, and I couldn't get them out. It probably doesn't matter for my purposes, but another buyer might think otherwise, so it needs to be said. I have reported the false information to Amazon. Hopefully, they will take appropriate action. If they do, then my review may seem a little strange, but please know that at the time I write this, it is accurate.

      I got this as a gift for my mom, she had been pointing out wooden ones we saw at the farmers market. I decided to give this one a try as it matched the counter tops. Nothing was missing, nothing was broken, it was heavier so it didn’t scoot across the table easily. So far I think it’s a good investment, and it might be worth giving a shot!

      5.0 out of 5 stars Where Has This Been All My Life...?? : D
      Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017
      Size: 4-Inch, MushroomVerified Purchase
      Where has this thing been all my life...?? I am a Pink Mediterranean Sea Salt Junkie... lol And this is the perfect Grinder for it. I buy it coarse & grind it up into all different kinds of textures. It really brings out that gentle crunchiness Pink Sea Salt brings to the table.

      I've seen the mixed reviews here, & if you feel yours really was not made right, I would definitely send it back for an exchange. Mine didn't arrive perfect, because these are hand crafted, but it didn't arrive with the glaring defects in workmanship that others are experiencing. If it doesn't look right, you should be able to exchange it for one that is. Mine looks, operates, & fits together fine.

      Some people are concerned that they are eating finely ground marble along with their salts or spices. I see what they mean, but there's probably actually more of that same material in my Sea Salts, than is coming off of my Grinder. According to the Wikipedia, "Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams, and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)." Calcium Carbonate is commonly used in Calcium supplements & dietary antacid tablets. So like Sea Salts...it is organic.

      If you don't like the texture of your ground spices or salts, practice with it. You'll get better at using it over time. When you grind, work things around in small circles around the curve of the bowl. The more I experiment with mine, I get a better feel for it, and the nicer & more interesting my textures are coming out.

      The one con I have for this item is that it arrived with a major crack in the marble that runs down one side. It is otherwise well-made, but I hope it does not crack all the way across & break apart over time. I'm not exchanging it because other than this it is well-made.

      I bought this to grind my Celtic sea salt, when it arrived unfortunately the pestle was broken in two… I went to start the return and was informed they would simply send a new one, no need to return. I had a brand new set a few days later and now have a ‘decorative bowl’ for my shelf as well. Love a seller that makes these unfortunate instances easy. Used the new mortar and pestle set to grind my salt the next day and it worked wonderfully!!

      As a magickal practitioner, I make plant & folk medicines - I have several larger mortars & pestles, but sometimes they're too big - this size is just perfect for when I need lesser amounts for a smaller batch or for spellwork. The marble is lovely & so is the craftsman. I would order this again!
