REQUIRED MODERN COOKING EQUIPMENT - A kitchen's ambience is defined by the aroma of herbs and spices battling against each other before they are added to a recipe. These strong flavors are unleashed when using the HiCoup Kitchenware mortar and pestle. Our giant size black and grey granite stone mortar and pestle crusher is handy for everything from cracking peppercorns and crushing tender herbs to making pesto, salsa and guacamole. | CHEF PREFERRED – Chefs prefer traditional granite mortars and pestles over clay, ceramic, glass, marble, wooden or other stones one since granite mortar and pestle sets never fails to product the best and most delicious paste. You will discover that the fine flavors produced from food ground in the HiCoup granite mortar and pestle are far superior to the flavors of foods ground in a mortar and pestle made from other materials. | EXCELS AT THE FULL RANGE OF TASKS – From mashing delicate herbs to grinding stubborn peppercorns, our solid, hand-carved mortar and pestle out-rivals the competition. The huge, heavy duty, and broad-based pestle needs to do little more than fall on ingredients to crush them – very little elbow grease required. And the bowl’s big, extra deep sloped shape and rough matte texture keep ingredients in the centre, so there’s no need to chase them around with the pestle. | HEALTHY AND EASY TO CLEAN – Our gray granite mortar and pestle is literally rock hard, is non-porous, will not absorb flavors and odours, and its matte surface creates friction for grinding but is smooth enough to wipe clean easily. Additionally, studies have shown that granite dust, which gets into the ingredients pounded in a granite mortar and pestle, contains 5% potassium and has associated with it 16 minerals. Potassium aids the functions of the cells and different organs in our bodies. | A HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCT BACKED BY OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE – We’ll let our reviews and seller feedback speak for themselves.
