Fox Run Mortar and Pestle, Stainless Steel

Works great. Very reasonable price. Looks beautiful, perfect size and so easy to clean. Does not retain odor. Easy to use. Heirloom quality. It is a little heavy, but is beautiful and works great.

This mortar and pestle set stands out not just for its functionality, but for its stunning aesthetics as well. Crafted to catch the eye, its beautiful design and pleasing appearance make it a highlight on any countertop. Beyond its looks, the set is notably heavy, ensuring stability and ease of use for grinding spices, herbs, and more, exactly as needed. However, it's worth mentioning a slight hiccup in the packaging - upon arrival, the packaging was damaged, leading to initial concerns about the integrity of the mortar and pestle inside. Fortunately, the set itself was unharmed and ready to impress. This incident speaks to the need for improved packaging, but the quality and beauty of the mortar and pestle remain undisputed, offering both form and function for culinary enthusiasts.

This thing is SOLID and great quality for the price. I purchased this to crush daily medications and it's perfect for that.

This is a very nice stainless steel mortar and pestal. The only improvements I could say that it could use is to possibly be a little bit heavier.Obviously, since It is stainless steel it does not work in the same manner as a ceramic or stone product

It's a nice quality product. Yes cast iron is susceptible to rust, but if you care for it properly then it won't be an issue. Also the comments about the black rubbing off and exploding the inner layer is normal with cast iron. Just reseason it again and it'll be as good as new.

The second one is great! The first one was delivered without the pestle. This is heavier than I thought it would be but that's not a bad thing. The only thing wrong, my fault, I wished it was bigger.

I purchased this to supplement a large granite mortar and pestle. The granite is so large and heavy that it’s awkward to drag it out and then clean it, especially for small tasks. This mostly gets used to crush fresh garlic. It’s small but has excellent weight. The pour spout is a really nice feature.Even though this product arrived pre-seasoned, before I use any cast iron, I season it with a round of Crisco. I’ve had no issues with rust at all. If it does rust, I’ll clean it with vinegar and season it again. It’s not a big deal.Unless I drop it on tile or concrete, I expect it to last as long as I do. I’m extremely happy with this purchase.

The mortar doesn’t quite fit the shape of the pestle. And after just a few works with it, the color of the mortar is wearing to silver—which makes me think this is painted on. That said, it’s sturdy and grinds tough herbs, roots, and resins, which is what I needed it for.

Pequeño, resistente y práctico

I love this set! It IS hefty and works great! And like some reviews said it can be scratchy on a counter. I use a small silicone mat under it and problem solved.On the matter of rusting. It is CAST IRON. Anything made of cast iron will rust unless retreated before use.Should the manufacturer state this on packaging..probably.But I seasoned this little set and washed just like I would treat my cast iron frying pans and have had no problem with rust.I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a sturdy and cute mortar and pestle.

Realmente corresponde à descrição. Produto sólido, bem feito, bastante útil e até decorativo. Substitui perfeitamente o de mármore que tenho, pois tem a boca até um pouco maior, tem o "funil" para escorrer molhos e não lasca (já mastigamos cacos de mármore nos molhos, pois soltavam do pilão).Aliás, o único "senão", até agora, é que, para minha pegada, o pilão poderia ser mais longo; mas é questão de tamanho de mão e costume.

Big enough to pound tablets.

Product is as advertised, real cast iron so it's got heft and weight to it. I've waited until I could use it as a mortar and pestle before reviewing. Works great. I use it for herbs and spices. (Images have residue of ground black pepper and cinnamon; it is not rust but I have not actually washed it yet because I haven't used it for food grade things).
