Customer Reviews

NOT LIKE THE PHOTO
I thought this would be the rustic version in the photo ( similar to what William Sonoma sells) but this product is actually glazed on the outside and looks very fake.
I am quite disappointed in the way it look on my counter and each time I look at it, I really regret the purchase! To me it looks like the 99 cent store version! Sorry, but it's my opinion.
The cost with shipping was $36 so I could have gotten the William Sonoma one for only a few dollars more and enjoy looking at it!

okie cook
I am in love with this! My counter space is limited, so a product must 'be worthy' to stay. The first thing I tried was whole, raw almonds, I put in about 1/2 cup and 8 turns later they were totally pulverized, I then added a couple of garlic cloves and a little sesame oil, whacked it twice and it was perfect. Tossed it with Lo Mein noodles...yum. I washed it out with a little dish soap and warm water and I can't smell any garlic on the mortar or pestle.

easy to use
I used it to make the best guacamole. Grinding the serrano peppers and cilantro releases more of their essential oils, creating a wonderful flavor. It's so easy to use, I find myself using it instead of the coffee grinder or food processor to grind spices and nuts. It looks nice sitting out on the kitchen counter - which makes it even handier to use.
