How to use

Place a measured amount of ingredients into the mortar bowl and use the pestle to press and rotate against the inner surface until the desired consistency is reached. Apply steady downward pressure and circular motions for efficient grinding; for tougher items like whole spices or nuts, start with short, firm taps to break them up before grinding. Clean the mortar and pestle after use by rinsing under warm water and wiping dry; for stubborn residues, use a soft brush and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid washing or soaking porous materials for prolonged periods; dry thoroughly before storage. Use the full 12 cm bowl capacity for small-to-medium batches to allow effective movement of the pestle and consistent grinding.
