Question 2

Wheres it made? China? Usa?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for your question and interest in our mortar and pestle set.

The design (i.e. dimensions, granite type, porosity level, density grade, roughness length, mortar thickness, mortar capacity etc.) is done in Germany. The actual granite raw material and manufacturing is carried out in the north mountains of Baoding city, Hebei province, China.

Please do not hesitate to ask any further questions.

Best,
Brian

Question 3

What are the seasoning instructions again? I misplaced the paper.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Here they are:
***Before You Use Your New Mortar and Pestle the First Time***
Just like a new dutch oven, you need to clean and season your new mortar and pestle. This process will clean out the stone dust that is inherently left during the manufacturing process.
- Wash it in clean water, without detergent and let it air dry. In fact, you should never wash it with soap unless you want your fantastic creations tainted with it. You should always begin using it when it’s dry, a wet mortar might gum up your dry ingredients.
- Roughly grind a small handful of white rice. Discard and repeat until the rice grinds white. It will take several grinds. This can be somewhat cumbersome but is great practice and you should be a grinding pro by the time you’re done. If your mortar has a tendency to slip on the counter while you are learning, put a non-skid shelf liner under it.
- Next add 4 cloves of garlic, mash and muddle.
- Add 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the garlic. Grind it all together, enjoy the smells, and discard.
- Wash it again in clean water, without soap, and air dry.
Happy Grinding,
Brian
