Well built, versatile, and cheap ...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Was looking for a mortar and pestle for the kitchen as I'm looking toward grinding more whole spices. After doing some research and pricing out a few sets, I opted for this one.
This set is comprised of three mortars and three pestles. The largest mortar is 4.75-in outer diameter (OD), 4.25-in inner diameter (ID), about 2-in tall; the middle mortar is 3.5-in OD, 3-in ID, 2-in tall; the smallest one is 2.5-in OD, 2-in ID, 1.5-in tall. Each mortar is thick and heavy (seems to be well built) -- more importantly, each mortar has un-glazed porcelain on the inside (which is very important for grinding spices, as the unglazed porcelain is rough and helps to "grab" the item to be ground). The pestles are well sized for their respective mortars and are solid in construction (i.e., not hollow). Like the mortars, they are left un-glazed on the grinding surfaces. Overall, I am happy with this set and would recommend it. First of all, the price: I paid $10.99 for the set - not bad considering a single mortar/pestle can cost much more. Secondly, the construction - these mortars/pestles are heavy for their size, solid in construction, and well finished. Thirdly, this set is porcelain, and is un-glazed on the grinding surfaces, which is superior to wood, metal, or even marble.

Great product at a great price,
By Oregon "AJ" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews This set was less expensive than the single mortar and pestle I was able to find (which was only one - they're very hard to find)and of much better functional quality (I believe someone else mentioned the non-glazed interior, which keeps stuff from sliding around; that is, easier to pulverize with the pestle). I'm very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it.

I bought this mostly for the smallest mortar, to grind up the dog's pills. Works better than an electric grinder, and it's faster. Excellent value!
