Mortar and Pestle Herb Mixing Set (small)
$30.00
The tool, made up of a heavy base (mortar) and pounding implement (pestle), can be traced back to the Stone Age, when it was used to crush and grind ingredients such as nuts and seeds into more edible powders or pastes.
But modern cooks swear by the ancient tool as well: Unlike electronic alternatives such as a food processor, the mortar and pestle keeps the cook in full control and helps retain the essential oil in ingredients like fresh herbs and toasted nuts.
It’s the perfect tool for making fresh pestos, curry or garlic paste, homemade spice blends, or simply crushing whole spices.
