Mortar and Pestle ZELLER 24503, granite, 0.3 L, Ø13 cm, H 80 mm, grey

ZELLER granite mortar and pestle 24503 is a compact kitchen tool designed for grinding and crushing spices, herbs, seeds and small nuts. With a capacity of 0.3 L and a 13 cm diameter, the mortar provides a stable working surface while the granite material ensures abrasion resistance and steady weight for efficient crushing. The low 80 mm height and single-piece packaging make it suitable for everyday use and storage in home kitchens.

Advantages

The granite construction delivers long-lasting durability and a textured interior that aids in effective grinding without excessive slipping. Its compact 0.3 L capacity is well matched to small-batch preparation of spice blends, pesto and pastes. The weight of the mortar adds stability during use, reducing the need for forceful pressing. The grey finish integrates with a variety of kitchen styles and is easy to clean after use.

Suitable for

• Grinding whole spices into powder
• Mashing fresh herbs for sauces and marinades
• Preparing small quantities of pastes and pestos
• Crushing seeds and nuts for baking and cooking

How to use

Place the mortar on a stable, flat surface to prevent slipping. Add the ingredients in small batches to allow even grinding. Use the pestle with a circular crushing motion and occasional vertical pressure to break down fibrous items and release oils from herbs and spices. For sticky pastes, periodically scrape the sides to incorporate all material. After use, rinse with warm water and, if needed, wipe with a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents that can affect porous stone surfaces.

Usage recommendations

To preserve the textured interior and avoid cross-flavour contamination, clean the mortar and pestle thoroughly after each use and allow it to dry completely before storing. For best results with very hard ingredients, break items into smaller pieces before grinding and work in short sessions to maintain control.
