FAQ

How do I clean the mortar and pestle?

Rinse the bowl and pestle with warm water after each use and wipe dry with a soft cloth. For stubborn residues, use a mild dish soap and a non‑abrasive brush, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid soaking for extended periods to preserve the stone’s integrity.

Can I use the mortar for wet ingredients?

Yes, the granite surface is non‑porous and works well with both dry and wet ingredients. It is perfect for making sauces, dressings, and guacamole, as the bowl’s weight prevents spillage while you mash.

Is the set safe for dishwasher cleaning?

While the mortar and pestle can tolerate occasional dishwasher cycles, hand washing is recommended to maintain the stone’s natural finish and prevent any potential chipping.

What makes granite better than other materials?

Granite is exceptionally hard, providing a stable grinding surface that does not wear down quickly. It also retains heat, helping to release aromatic oils from spices, which enhances flavor compared to softer materials like wood or ceramic.
