Love that the sizes fit both my mortars. Ends are nicely rough, handle is smooth and comfortable. Very happy with this replacement for my old pestle.

I really like this mortar & pestal set but the one thing that is missing is directions to season it before first use. Thankfully as I was looking for these sets I saw that they need to be seasoned before first use and saw how to do it. But someone who is as unfamiliar as I wouldn’t know that you need to add water to it first and use the pestal to remove the granite dust and bits of granite. I refreshed the slurry water multiple times and did this for about an hour. I then let it dry and added some rice and worked it for 45min - 1hour to make it into powder, then added a small amount of water to make a paste and pick up the remaining rice dust. Then wash it and let it dry. Then I used some garlic, cumin, onion and cilantro to get the flavor in. The spoon and/or brush are helpful to get your paste or powder out. Since there were no instructions you may not realize that you should not use soap to clean it but only water. I would have given 5 stars if it had some good instructions with it. If you know all this already, it appears to be a great product!

It works really well for grinding various seeds and spices down, I use it primarily for grinding cumin seeds for plov, bit large, no question but very comfortable in my hands and I have large hands, you will definitely need a decent size mortar for it that has an opening on it at least 3 inches wide on the top. Otherwise great product heavy, both ends have a rough surfaces on them so you can really grind things down with them very solid product.

The size is perfect to smash a small piece like garlic

First, season this pestle, as it is a powerful kitchen tool....it makes short work of just about anything you want to crush, because it fits the hand nicely and is heavy enough to pound it out with the rounded end while being delicate enough (with the smaller end) to allow you to crush leaves, onion and fresh garlic. ive been a chef for decades and this has allowed me to be much more versatile with the seasonings i use because i can put together previously unconsidered combinations (pineapple and cumin, for example...or sausage and pineapple).
