 Small mortarDec 15, 2009
By wogan
"the book reader"
This is a fine mortar and pestle, with good colouring, even looks good sitting on the counter or a shelf. But, be aware the advertised size is much larger than the reality; the diameter is 4 ½" and it is 2 ½" high, not 5" X 4". It is plenty big enough for the small grinding jobs that I have. The inside of the mortar and the pestle has a rough surface which grinds well and is easy to use. The pestle is easy to grip and comfortable to hold. Also a major requirement is that it is dishwasher safe. It also is freezer to oven and microwave safe. It's a good piece of kitchen equipment.

 nice pieceNov 19, 2010

As a kitchen item, this is a good pestle and mortar. However, I'm one of those wimpy people who can't swallow pills, so when I need to take something I have to crush it. For pill crushing, this pestle/mortar pair doesn't seem to work particularly well. The material of the bowl and the end of the pestle are very grainy. Great if you're not wanting to turn something into powder-- such as a spice or herb. But when you ARE wanting to crush something to a fine powder, the substance seems to get stuck around the edges of the pestle. (This happens regardless of the pill type.)
For herbs and spices, this pair is no doubt excellent so I'd definitely recommend it for those purposes. For pharmacological use (I'm sure there's more of you non-pill-swallowers out there than just me), it's not a good bowl and I've gone back to the use of my other bulkier less attractive pestle/mortar for that.

Lovely addition to your kitchenJan 21, 2010
By Megheel
This morter and pestel is a wonderful addition to my kitchen, especially when making pesto. The only drawback is that I wish it was bigger.
