Hot Selling Custom Molcajete Extra Large Granite Pestle And Mortar Spice Herb Crusher

#1: Major flavor potential

Chopping up fresh herbs to add to your favourite Thai or Mexican recipe is a great start but just think of the scent released when you rip a bunch of basil from the bush or crush a rip avocado or fresh garlic clove. Those lovely culinary aromas are increased tenfold when you infuse all the flavors together in the belly of the mortar. The solid granite pestle can even crush and grind ingredients for cocktails and can be used for making mojitos.

#2: He who holds the pestle determines the grind

There is something quite satisfying in being able to decide just how fine and small you like or need your spice and salt infusion to be. If you're making a rub for steak you may want the mixture to be quite coarse but you've also just realised this combination would work wonders as an addition to your mushroom sauce – and then you would want it to be a finer powder.

#3: Connect to the now and live in the moment

We've become so used to the pre-made, store-bought salsas, drizzles, spice mixes and infusions that we often simply dollop them onto our steaks and into our sauces. Understanding exactly what quantities go into a pesto allows for fine tweaking and adaptation – maybe you don't have pine nuts today and use some macadamias instead – and help bring about entirely new culinary experiences.

How to season your mortar and pestle.

Before using a mortar and pestle for the first time, it is important to season it to avoid any unwanted flavors, deter sticking and smooth what might be an excessively rough grinding surface. This process will also clean out the stone dust that is inherently left during the manufacturing process.

Step 1 Clean the mortar and pestle under running water with a stiff cleaning brush. Allow to air dry.

Step 2 Place 1/3 cup of uncooked rice in the mortar and grind it into the surface with the pestle until the rice is pulverized. The color of the pulverized rice should be white once you finish grinding it. Discard the rice.

Step 3 Place four peeled cloves of garlic and a teaspoon each of cumin, kosher salt and pepper into the mortar. Grind the ingredients into the surface of the mortar with the pestle until all the ingredients are pulverized together. Discard the ingredients.

Step 4 Rinse the mortar and pestle under running water. Allow to air dry before storing.

A properly cleaned granite mortar and pestle will provide years of service in the household kitchen.

Things Needed

Dishrag
Unscented dish soap
Abrasive dish sponge
Dry cloth

Step 1 Rinse the mortar and pestle in water immediately after use to minimize staining. Granite is especially prone to staining when exposed to acidic and oily foods.

Step 2 Wash the mortar in warm water, using a clean dishrag and mild dish soap. Unscented dish soap is best, because scented soaps can leave a perfume residue on the mortar and pestle that could transfer to food. Use an abrasive dish sponge to remove stuck-on food. 

Step 3 Rinse the mortar and pestle thoroughly in warm water to remove soap residue.

Step 4 Dry the mortar and pestle with a clean cloth to prevent water stains from forming on the granite.

Warnings: Some staining on a granite and mortar pestle is inevitable, but it does not affect the performance of the utensil.
