Mortar and Pestles
Use a Mortar and Pestle to Make Spice Pastes and Combinations
Other Kitchen Hand Tools
A mortar and pestle set is an essential device for crushing, grinding, and blending ingredients that add zest to your dishes! The weighty marble or granite composition of each mortar and pestle provides a time-tested method of rendering herbs and spices for food preparation. Place whole seeds and spices in the mortar, and let the weight of the pestle help you grind ingredients into find powders or smooth pastes.
Different mortar and pestle set size options are available to suit your kitchen's needs. We offer sets in a range of heights and widths, including tiny items for grinding very small amounts of spices and bigger products for blending many whole and large ingredients. You can choose from a white marble mortar and pestle with fine black lines or a speckled granite option, depending on your needs and style preference.
With a mortar and pestle, you can control the extent to which you grind up nuts, seeds, hard spices, and herbs. Unlike food processors that have limited settings, these sets allow you to customize the exact force and pressure you use to crush spices. You can even mash chickpeas and beans into a paste for other dishes. Regardless of the item you're grinding, these mortars and pestles allow your staff to have full control over your prep tasks. See our seed spices, whole spices, and nuts for essential ingredients.
