This is a great product, with a bit of a heads-up. This mortar and pestle was exactly what I had in mind. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it arrived with a broken pestle. Apparently this is not uncommon with granite products, and the issue was dealt with promptly and fairly. Also, it is HEAVY, which is GREAT ... just what I was looking for. I think it weighs almost 15 pounds.

At first look its well built nice finish and the correct size for most applications. don't recommend attempting to fit 4 cups of anything in it. its 5 inch wide and 4.5 inch deep so too many ingredients would make it hard to use. lastly the inside is not very good there are divots in the bottom which are about an 1/8 of an inch deep. that makes it difficult to grind the ingredients to the same texture. i have another one almost identical but about $10 more expensive which has a much nicer finish on the inside very even in texture no divots which makes for uniform grinding. hope you do better than I did...

This is a quality, inexpensive M&P set made in China from granite. The M&P does a great job smooshing, grinding, and pounding whatever plant or animal matter is needed by recipe. The granite is beautiful, sturdy, and weighs 14 pounds (I used the bathroom scale to weigh it). And I've been reading a book on Mortar & Pestle. Did you know, according to ancient Chines lore, the Yellow Emperor of China (around 2690 BC) invented the M&P? There are M&P artifacts from Native American archeological sites. The Yellow Emperor got around!

I have used a moemrtor for a dew years now to finely grind up my spices. I have never had one that could do the work nearly as well as this one does. It will make fast short work out of any task you give it. On top of all that, it is a lot of fun to use.

Great for the price but have one concern if you want grit free food or gin powder buy a marble one because this one leaves grit in the mix.
