HIC Kitchen's Mortar and Pestle Set is the perfect tool to grind items into a fine paste or powder. Beautifully crafted from solid fine-quality Carrara marble, the natural stone gives each piece a unique color and marble pattern. The mortar bowl and pestle work together to quickly grind and break down ingredients and speed up food preparation with minimum effort. Grind fresh ingredients, like cloves of garlic, herbs and spices, peppercorns or cinnamon, nuts, grains, and seeds, into a fine paste or powder. Make aromatic dry rubs, curry pastes, pestos, nut butters, spreads, and so much more. Even use it as a pill crusher to pulverize harder-to-swallow pills!
