Priority Chef Heavy Duty Large 4 Cup Mortar and Pestle Set, 100% Natural Granite, 7 Inch Diameter Bowl, 7.2 Inch Pestle, Non-Slip Base, Stone Grinder for Guacamole Salsa Pesto Herbs Spices, Grey

This set is exactly as described. Worth the money. Happy that I found a mortar that accommodates a larger portion of ingredients. It is quite heavy and big, and it looks good on the counter. If you follow the instructions exactly on how to clean and season the mortar, you're good to go and won't have a problem with residue on the food. Just be patient and follow the instructions. I have a granite counter and was concerned about mashing on the counter, but this mortar is so thick and solid that it wasn't a problem (no need to bang the pestle so forcefully). It came with 2 non-slip pads, although due to the weight of the mortar, I don't think it will slide that easily. It is deep enough to keep the food in. This makes a good gift if you know someone who likes to cook with fresh herbs or other stuff. I plan mashing some plantains and form them into bowls the size of the inside of the mortar and put meat in the center, then air-fry them, and I must try for the first time, making guacamole. I already used it to crush garlic, cilantro, oregano, small sweet peppers and other ingredients to season my food. Buy this product, you won't regret it.

“I’m extremely satisfied with this mortar and pestle. It’s very heavy-duty and feels solid and durable, clearly made from quality granite. The weight keeps it stable during use, which makes grinding spices, herbs, and making things like salsa or guacamole much easier and more efficient. The bowl is large enough to handle good portions without spilling, and the pestle has a comfortable grip that makes grinding feel controlled and effective. It also looks great sitting on the counter and feels like a long-lasting kitchen tool. Overall, a very practical and well-made set that performs exactly as expected.”

I was in a Orson Gygi yesterday and came upon a molcajete that was fairly small and very rough, and it was $24. I decided that before I bought it I was going to look on Amazon and see if I could find one for cheaper. I came across this one, and it was 1.5 cups, and I was like "more space for cheaper, absolutely yes." so I bought this one.It says unpolished granite, so I was expecting it to be rough.It is granite, so it's very heavy, but let me tell you that I am STUNNED by the beauty of this piece. It's polished black on the outside (except the flat part of the bottom), and the top, except for the bowl. This looks like it belongs in an art museum, and I'm so happy with it. The pestle is also polished and beautiful except for the part that does the grinding. Seems very sturdy and stable.It came with care instructions, including how to season it, and they threw in a free gift of a garlic peeler.I don't think there's better quality out there, and for the price this is ridiculously good value.

Great quality, instructions provided for seasoning/care. Heavy and great for grinding seasonings and mashing herbs into paste. Good size for everyday use.

Works perfectly! Durability, heavy and solid! Love the pad included for the bottom so it doesn't scratch my counter tops and stays in place while using.

I would purchase this again and I love it.It is heavy duty and gets the job done.So easy to crush herbs now to make compound butter.

I'm still cleaning it and seasoning it but it came perfectly well intact. They gave me a free gift, a garlic peeler. I can tell the quality is amazing, definitely Granite from the temperature, weight, and how it looks. I got the 4 cup one and I can tell its big enough to grind a lot of different seasonings and foods, so it's definitely versatile. The stability is great. People complain about how long it takes to clean and seasoning it but that's just how it is, it's also supposed to have that texture on the inside. A great product and I recommend.

Just what i was looking for it's heavy enough to grind dry spices and definitely is makes making guacamole a little easier and fun. Doesnt take up top much counter space and 4 cup capacity is perfect for my needs.

Huge! Works really well for larger volumes.Careful doing the initial preparation of the stone - managed to file down the skin on my finger tips!

Excelente produto. Superou em muito as expectativas. E fica o elogio ao prazo de entrega tambem. Tudo perfeito!

Beautiful Mortar and Pestle Set. Very solid. Heavy. Smooth Stone. Quality item. Would not want to drop it!! Chefs will love this item in their kitchen. Would absolutely buy it again and/or gift this.

S/C

Its really heavy. Can't even use it properly. Only thing i liked is that is wide inside and the pestle is also long enough to use.
