What are people saying about Bamboo Mortar & Pestle with Lid – Sustainable Kitchen Tool for Herbs, Spices & More?
How to use
Place herbs, spices, or seeds in the mortar. Using the pestle, gently grind or crush in a circular motion until you achieve the desired texture. The included lid allows you to cover and store your mixtures between uses. After use, hand wash with warm water and mild soap, dry immediately to prevent moisture buildup, and occasionally apply food-safe mineral oil to maintain the bamboo’s strength and beauty. Avoid dishwashers or soaking to keep your set in top condition for years.
