FAQs

Is this dishwasher safe?

No, you should clean it by hand with warm water to maintain the integrity of the marble.

Can I use this for wet ingredients?

Yes, the non-porous nature of the high-quality marble is excellent for wet pastes and marinades.

Will the marble absorb the smell of garlic?

Because the marble is non-porous, it is highly resistant to absorbing oils and odors from ingredients like garlic.

How much does the set weigh?

The set weighs 1.31kg, which provides enough weight for efficient crushing.

Can I use it for large batches?

With a 250ml capacity, it is designed for smaller, individual-sized portions rather than large batches.

Troubleshooting

Stone dust residue after initial use

Grind a small amount of dry white rice in the mortar, discard it, and repeat until the rice remains clean after grinding.

Stubborn spice stains

Use a damp cloth with water to wipe down the surface. Avoid soap, as porous stone can absorb chemical scents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Non-porous surface does not retain flavors or odors
  • Solid weight provides excellent stability during use
  • Handcrafted material offers high durability
  • Compact size is easy to store while remaining functional

Cons

  • Marble can be susceptible to chipping if dropped

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your mortar and pestle, perform a 'seasoning' process before first use by grinding a small amount of plain white rice to remove any natural stone dust. Clean the item using only warm water and a soft brush; avoid using harsh chemical detergents or putting the piece in a dishwasher, as these can damage the stone surface and leave soapy residue. Ensure the item is completely dry before storing it to prevent moisture accumulation. Always place the mortar on a flat, stable surface to prevent it from sliding during intensive grinding.
