Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of HIC Porcelain Set of 3 Mortar and Pestle White
Customer Review: Great for herbalists.
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought the set for grinding fresh, leafy herbs like dandelions, goldenrod, and garlic cloves into mush for tinctures. Used the larger mortar for most of that work. The smaller mortar is perfect for grinding pills into dust. Can't beat the price. This is my first mortar and pestle and I like this set a lot. I would recommend this set for any kitchen or as an inexpensive Christmas gift for someone who enjoys cooking, making their own medicines from plants, or has pets that take medications.Customer Review: Great set
Summary: 4 Stars
I got a set for me and one for my sister. The base and the pestles are rough enough to capture the materials being ground and keep a good grip while directing power to the tip.
One thing that's not great for me is that I have large hands and the length of the pestles is such that I wind up rubbing my fingers along the edge of the mortar bowl as I grind. This is just uncomfortable, but the only thing bad that I've come across. The weight is great, and it has good solid contact.
Customer Review: Nice set at good price
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a mortar and pestle to grind up some acetaminophen tablets because I can't swallow pills and have to grind them up and also because I have arthritis and acetaminophen pills are very hard to crush and grind up in my plastic pill crusher. I use the smallest set to grind the pills and will use the medium and larger sets to grind food stuffs for cooking and also for soap making, lotions, etc. This set was perfect for my needs and reasonably priced.Customer Review: too small for me but the other positive reviews are accurate
Summary: 3 Stars
I give this only three stars although this is a nice product and the other reviewers who liked it better are describing the product accurately. These items seem to be too small for me. I am fearful of breaking them but I can't get anything really ground up or mashed up. I think it does work but that it is not my style. Probably most of the things I want to smash up are much harder than dog pills e.g. star anise.Customer Review: Great Value!
Summary: 5 Stars
After shopping around for some time, I bought this product for two reasons: Price and versatility. The price was unbeatable. The three sizes makes it feel like I got three items for the price of one. These are great for grinding up our various garden-grown and dried herbs. We also use them for grinding dried Anaheim and Poblano peppers.You wont go wrong with this product.
