Product Description
HIC’s Mortar and Pestle Set is the perfect tool to grind items into a fine paste or powder. The mortar bowl and pestle work together to grind and break down ingredients quickly to help speed up food preparation with minimum effort. Quickly grind fresh ingredients, like cloves of garlic, herbs and spices, peppercorns or cinnamon, nuts, grains, and seeds, into a fine paste or powder. Make aromatic dry rubs, curry pastes, pestos, nut butters, spreads, and so much more. Even use it as a pill crusher to pulverize harder-to-swallow pills! Essential tools for those practicing homeopathy, the art of healing through natural remedies, HIC’s Mortar and Pestle Set offers effortless preparation of herbal and homeopathic remedies. So easy to use. Simply place an item into the mortar bowl. Hold the pestle by the handle and, using a firm pressure, make a circular stirring-like motion to grind your item into a paste or powder. Harder items, like peppercorns, may need the surface cracked before they can be ground. Firmly, but gently, tap the item with the pestle, then grind into the desired consistency. Pestle and mortar are both made from fine-quality porcelain to complement kitchen countertops and any home decor. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2023
I am wanting to use my mortar and pestel to grind eggshells into fine powder for human consumption as calcium powder, but I have two concerns...One is that I can see there are a few small bits of the clear glaze have (dripped? during manufacturing application?) below where one puts their hand on the pestel down where it may come in contact with the mortar bowl and whatever you are grinding. I don't know anything about either porcelain, qualities of porcelain or the glaze used. But I am wondering if that bit of glaze may come off on the food (egg shells) when the pestel is being ground against the unglazed rough mortarsurface and eggshells. Would that glaze be ground off by the pestle's grinding? and if so, is it toxic to consume this glaze? Second question...Is the calcium of eggshells harder than what the mortar and pestel are designed for? It occurred to me that perhaps the product was not designed for eggshells? That is - will the calcium in eggshells scratch the porcelain or the glaze and will a person end up consuming porcelain or glaze? I don't know anything about porcelain or glaze so I need to know if it is ok to use with grinding eggshells. Hope this is clear. I would love to keep the product if you feel it is safe to use for my use but would like to hear back from you. Thank you!!!
Note: not for highly abrasive materials like sand or aluminum oxide.
