How to use

Place the mortar on a stable, non-slip surface. Add the ingredients in small batches to avoid overflowing and use the pestle with a firm, circular grinding motion to crush and grind until the desired consistency is reached. For wet ingredients, press and twist to combine into a paste; for dry spices, use a pounding and twisting motion to break seeds and release oils. Rinse and dry the mortar and pestle after use according to care instructions to maintain the stone surface.

Usage recommendations

To protect the stone surface and avoid cross-flavoring, clean the mortar and pestle promptly after use with warm water and a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents and prolonged soaking. For best results when grinding very hard seeds or nuts, pre-crack larger pieces and work in small quantities to ensure even texture.
