About this item
- Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
- A kitchen must-have: Mortar and pestle set (mortero de cocina - morter and pessel - molcajete or guacamole bowl and pestel) has been used for THOUSANDS of years as THE way to crush, grind and powder herbs and dry spices. Contrary to an electric grinder or crusher, the age-old, durable, traditional manual grinding method ensures that all cooking ingredients bring out their full flavor and aroma profiles, allowing you to further control their texture and make delicious, chunk-free dishes.
- Versatile tool: Take advantage of your brand new stone motar and pedestal set’s various applications in the kitchen and simplify your everyday life! Use your mortor to pulverize nuts, seeds, ginger root and garlic and make homemade salad dressing, sauces and condiments, such as fresh mustard, quacamole, pesto, salsa, chutneys and more. Widely used in pharmacies and apothecaries, your molcajete set will help you powder pills, for optimal ingestion, or hide them in your stubborn pet’s kibble!
- Effortless use: This ChefSofi stone mocajetes motor & pedestal set was designed with your convenience in mind. Made from unpolished granite, you will waste no time fumbling or stabilizing your pestal masher, as our motar’s cup interior provides the best, metate-like natural friction for swift ingredient crushing, grinding or powdering. With a 500 ml (approx. 2 Cup) capacity, this stone mortor also reduces the need for ingredient refills, affording quick food prep, in one go!
- Quick cleaning & zero kitchen messes: As granite is inherently durable and heavy, this mortar will not slip on your kitchen counters, remaining still throughout the grinding process. Our pestle offers foolproof grip, gliding across the mortar’s interior, without the need of excess hand motions, which would result in ingredient waste and kitchen counter messes! By investing in this stoneware set, you are gaining a timeless, multifunctional kitchen tool, which will make cooking a breeze!
- Satisfaction guarantee: We want you to be absolutely elated with your moter and pestle set, which is why we are offering you a Risk-Free purchase. In the unlikely event our set fails to meet or exceed your expectations, you are welcome to return it for a hassle-free, FULL refund.

Product Description
CAN’T GET YOUR FOOD TO BE THE MOST FLAVORFUL VERSION OF ITSELF?
There are so many fancy kitchen items out there—from blenders to spice grinders. But because these appliances have motors, the heat generated from them degrades and mutes the bright flavors of your spices. Instead of enjoying a flavorful paste, you get to miss out on the tasty goodness of your fresh herbs. Is there a kitchen tool that can extract more flavor than any spinning blade or vicious food processor?
The Mortar and Pestle Set by ChefSofi lets you enjoy bold flavors every single time.

MULTIPLE CULINARY USES
There’s plenty you can create with this great set of kitchen tools. Spice up your Indian cooking by crushing cardamom seeds, create flavorful Asian recipes by smashing fresh peeled ginger, or intensify your Italian bread by turning fresh garlic cloves into a paste. Beyond grinding herbs and spices, you can also use your mortar and pestle to whip up amazing guacamole, curry paste, pesto, or chimichurri.
PERFECT SHAPE & FORM
The best mortars are those with a deep round shape that keeps your ingredients from jumping or spilling out. Our 6-inch mortar with 2-cup capacity is sizeable enough for mashing small quantities of herbs and spices. Its pestle is broad with a rounded base so ingredients do not pop out from under. The mortar has a stable base that comes with a non-skid felt base to keep the granite from marking your countertop.
SATISFY THE PALATE
Get the most flavor out of your spices with this simple ancient device. By pounding and crushing the fibers of your herbs, our mortar and pestle set effectively releases the full range of essential oils, flavors, and aroma they contain. The depth of flavor that emerges in the hand-grinding process is something you won’t find if you are prepping your ingredients using a blender, electric grinder, or food processor.
CREATE FLAVORFUL PASTES & SAUCES WITH THE CHEFSOFI MORTAR AND PESTLE SET!

EASY-TO-USE COOKING AIDNothing makes ingredients more dynamic than the good old hand grinding from your traditional mortar and pestle. Even if you already have a food processor, your kitchen is not complete without this set. To use, fill the mortar 1/3 full only to avoid spillage and making crushing difficult. Be sure to start with the hardest ingredients to grind. If you need to grind a large number of ingredients, do so in batches. |
SWEAT-FREE CLEANING & UPKEEPMade of minimal-porosity granite stone, our mortar and pestle do not have a high tendency to absorb flavors and odors, making the set very easy to clean after each use. To clean, simply bring out some uncooked white rice. Grind it into powder to remove unwanted flavors from sticking to your tools. Dust the powder, and you’re done. You can also wash it with water afterwards and leave it to air dry. Try to avoid soap as much as you can. |
A TIMELESS, FUNCTIONAL GIFTWhile ancient, our mortar and pestle are tools no modern kitchen should be without. With all the exciting things one can create with this amazing set, it makes a thoughtful gift for homemakers, chefs, foodies, and those who love to prepare their food with herbs and spices. It comes in two sizes, 8-inch (5-cup) unpolished heavy granite and 6-inch (2-cup) set available in unpolished and black polished heavy granite. |

Based on reviews I was expecting to love this, but I'm a little disappointed. The weight and materials are very satisfactory. It's solid granite and provides a good base to really grind up spices or grains or whatever else you need it for. The problem lies in the relative proportions of the mortar and the pestle. The mortar has high walls and the pestle is fairly short, which means it is difficult to really get a full grip on the pestle for heavy grinding without busting your knuckles on the walls of the mortar. The back end of the pestle is also pretty squared-off which makes it uncomfortable on your palm. I suspect I'm not the first to comment on this since the one we received was somewhat unevenly rounded off by the factory, leaving it less square but also even shorter. I would suggest looking for a mortar/pestle combination with a bit longer pestle and a rounded back end.

I find this extremely concerning due to the fact that this is supposed to be a food safe item that is a porous material, and also due to the fact that it can not be properly sanitized. No amount of bleach or boiling water will be able to get into every pore of the mortar to sanitize it. The box was not damaged and did not show any signs of a rodent getting into the amazon or the products packaging. So the contamination would have to had to have happened when it was being made and or packed at the manufacturing site. I don’t know if this is a one off instance or if this is an ongoing problem.
Due to concerns, we will be returning this item.

I just received my mortar and pestle from Amazon today. I opened the package to inspect the items to make sure there was no damage to them from the shipping process. While both the mortar and pestle are not broken, I did however find 2 large mouse/ small rat droppings in the bowl and at least another three within the bubble wrap package on the outside of the bowl.

Nice mortar and pestle, perfect grit. Must have for a kitchen. Recommend it highly.
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017Verified Purchase
EDIT: Apr 2 2018. They fixed the issue I pointed out in the review below and sent me a free mortar and pestle with the updated design. Thank you, ChefSofi. Raising to 5 stars from 4 stars earlier.
Very well made, good balance, deep. Perfect amount of grit for items wet or dry. I think I will be using this for a very long time.
I could have given it 5 stars if the pestle was designed a bit better. The bottom has a pointy tip which is not ideal for grinding dry things. It should match the angle of the mortar itself as it increases the surface of the impact area for crushing or muddling. Also it could have been a little bit bigger -- both in girth and height ... for efficiency and more comfort especially if you are non petite hands.
I am from India and have used a mortar and pestle for a long long time. I highly recommend this product, but I also hope they improve the pestle design.
Please follow the instructions on cleaning -- do not use soap of any kind.

This granite mortar and pestle set is of very high quality, more so than I was expecting, even having previously read many of the reviews here.
This is a great and practical kitchen tool for crushing and grinding dry and/or wet ingredients. A spice grinder or coffee grinder can work very well for dried herbs and lighter, woody type spices, but it will not cope well with hard grains, seeds, salt, nor even particularly well with some other dried ingredients such as whole hot chilies. For moist ingredients such as fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables, and liquids such as oil and vinegar, you would need something like a food processor as well. This mortar and pestle set can serve as both, and being used via a manual process, lets you adjust and grind things to your taste and consistency preference.
The mortar and pestle are rough cut or ground and have a lot of fine grip on the surface, but the cut is very even without hardly any signs of cutting marks nor divots. The bottom of the mortar is polished smooth except for the engraved branding in the middle, which is nice since it means it's less likely to scratch the surfaces of what you're using it on. Also, a fairly thin 3M nonslip foam rubber sticker is included to put on the bottom of the mortar, if you'd prefer.
Make sure you follow the directions on "seasoning" (breaking in) your set as there is a lot of surface dust that will grind off. You may also want to start off using some water in the bottom of the mortar – just enough to cover it – and grind stone on stone, pestle against mortar, rotating each and covering the interior of the mortar as you go, then rinse, dry, and followup with using dry white rice as per the instructions.
Also, I wanted to mention that you more than likely won't want to wear rings when using this, since the rough, hard surfaces of the mortar and pestle can scratch them up pretty easily.
Overall, I highly recommend this set. Mine arrived in perfect condition.
High five!

The only thing I disliked about my ChefSofi Mortar and Pestle Set, was the crushing of the rice to prep and season it. I had a hard time trying to grind the rice up higher on the inside. I must have done it right, because crushing termeric hasn't stained it.
I use it every morning, for crushing the Ginger and Termeric, for our health drink.
I love that the company sent me an email with the detailed prep and seasoning instructions, as well as an ebook with tons of Italian recipes.

After consulting with a chemist and a geotech engineer, and doing some testing, it appears this is probably not made of solid granite as advertised. It appears to be an aggregate of stone and binder. Rubbing pestle against mortar produces a fine grayish-green dust that smells like cement. The chemist recommended that this be used for non-food items only.
