Marble White And Gray Mortar and Pestle Set

White and gray marble mortar and pestle set. A classic kitchen and apothecary tool used for crushing, grinding, and mixing substances.  Uses: Grinding Spices and Herbs: Ideal for releasing essential oils and flavors from spices like peppercorns or fresh herbs like basil for pesto. Making Pastes and Sauces: Commonly used to prepare items like guacamole, salsas, or emulsified sauces. Crushing Pills or Supplements: Can also be used to finely grind medications or supplements.  About Marble Mortar and Pestles: Material Properties: Marble offers a strong, rigid surface for effective grinding, but it's important to note it's not as robust as granite and can be susceptible to chipping if struck too forcefully. Acid Sensitivity: Marble is not resistant to acids found in ingredients like citrus juices, coffee, or wine, which can cause staining or etching over time. Cleaning: Marble mortar and pestles should be hand-washed with mild soap and water, as they are not dishwasher safe, and special marble cleaners can help maintain their appearance and seal.  No cracks, chips or breaks
