Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset Stoneware 20-Ounce Mortar and Pestle, Cherry
Customer Review: Held Up Well
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this mortar and pestle for a few years now and it's really held up well. The advantage of being stoneware is that it doesn't absorb flavors (wood) and you can safely use acids (granite), so it's very low maintenance. I would very much recommend the 20 OZ size, and even this is a little small for making guacamole for a family.
Description of Le Creuset Stoneware 20-Ounce Mortar and Pestle, Cherry
Maximize flavor by grinding spices and herbs for your favorite dishes in this larger version of our popular Mortar & Pestle. Unglazed interior and pestle tip create the perfecgt surface for efficiencyBefore food processors, cooks ground up their own spices, herbs, and nuts with a mortar and pestle. In fact, many Italians still prefer to make pesto by mashing up their basil leaves and other ingredients with such a tool. You, too, can enjoy the fabulous aromas and flavors released by a little elbow grease. Made in France of high-fired stoneware, this tall, deep mortar holds 20 ounces, a great size for making guacamole or pesto, or for mashing fresh mint leaves for mojito cocktails. The mortar interior and the tip of the pestle remain unglazed for grinding, while the exterior is glazed with hard enamel that won't absorb flavors and resists staining and chipping. A distinctive curve adds modern zip to the bowl design.
Le Creuset's stoneware mortar bowl is so durable, it's safe to use in the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. With its pronounced rim for easy gripping, the mortar can double as a serving bowl for whatever you make in it. A great gift, the set is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
