Joseph Joseph Grey Dash Pestle & Mortar With Lid

Unlike other pestle and mortars, this design includes a reversible lid that serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it helps keep the mortar clean and dustfree when stored on a worktop or shelf. It also features a deep groove on the top to safely hold the pestle when not in use. When removed, the lid can be turned over and used to place ingredients ready for preparation or even as a small chopping surface, adding versatility to your kitchen tasks. Granite Construction. Both the heavyweight pestle and mortar are carved from the same hardwearing granite. Granite is an excellent material for this purpose due to its nonporous and rough surface, which provides ideal friction for effective grinding. Each item produced is unique, with variations in appearance.
