Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of HIC Porcelain Set of 3 Mortar and Pestle White
Customer Review: Well built, versatile, and cheap ...
Summary: 5 Stars
Was looking for a mortar and pestle for the kitchen as I'm looking toward grinding more whole spices. After doing some research and pricing out a few sets, I opted for this one.
This set is comprised of three mortars and three pestles. The largest mortar is 4.75-in outer diameter (OD), 4.25-in inner diameter (ID), about 2-in tall; the middle mortar is 3.5-in OD, 3-in ID, 2-in tall; the smallest one is 2.5-in OD, 2-in ID, 1.5-in tall. Each mortar is thick and heavy (seems to be well built) -- more importantly, each mortar has un-glazed porcelain on the inside (which is very important for grinding spices, as the unglazed porcelain is rough and helps to "grab" the item to be ground).
The pestles are well sized for their respective mortars and are solid in construction (i.e., not hollow). Like the mortars, they are left un-glazed on the grinding surfaces.
Overall, I am happy with this set and would recommend it. First of all, the price: I paid $10.99 for the set - not bad considering a single mortar/pestle can cost much more. Secondly, the construction - these mortars/pestles are heavy for their size, solid in construction, and well finished. Thirdly, this set is porcelain, and is un-glazed on the grinding surfaces, which is superior to wood, metal, or even marble.

This set of 3 mortars and pestles have contoured bottoms & pestle head to hold the grindables in place.
