{"product_id":"granite-mortar-and-pestle-set","title":"Granite Mortar and Pestle Set","description":"\u003cp\u003ePre-ground spices lose their aroma over time, and blenders often turn fresh herbs into a watery mush instead of a fragrant paste. The Vomau Granite Mortar and Pestle Set brings back the traditional way of grinding, letting you crush herbs, spices, and fresh ingredients by hand to release their full flavor. It is a timeless kitchen essential for anyone who loves cooking from scratch and wants bolder, fresher taste in every dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set is crafted from durable natural granite, giving it a heavy, stable base that stays firmly in place while you work. A deep grinding bowl holds ingredients securely, and the solid pestle provides plenty of weight for efficient crushing. The unpolished interior adds gentle friction, helping you break down peppercorns, seeds, and garlic quickly and evenly. Each piece is made from natural stone, so subtle variations in color and pattern make every set unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it to prepare garlic paste, pesto, guacamole, salsa, curry pastes, marinades, dips, and homemade spice blends. Before first use, rinse it with warm water and grind a small handful of uncooked rice to season the surface. After cooking, wash it by hand with warm water and a brush, avoid soap and the dishwasher, and let it air dry completely before storing. It also displays beautifully on the kitchen counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: natural solid granite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: unpolished grinding surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: deep bowl with solid pestle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: hand wash with water, air dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse for: herbs, spices, garlic, pastes, dips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: mortar and pestle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 3.7 x 2 in (9.5 x 5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vomau","offers":[{"title":"3.7 x 2 in","offer_id":67740195684597,"sku":"14:200006151#3.74x1.97inch","price":238.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/9447\/2949\/files\/img_bd4130b5-4122-4c8c-8804-0ffae23a8d03.jpg?v=1792923024","url":"https:\/\/vomau.co\/products\/granite-mortar-and-pestle-set","provider":"Vomau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
