Why Choose This Wooden pestle and mortar
Wood is a deliberate choice for a pestle and mortar rather than a cheaper substitute. It is gentle on soft ingredients like fresh herbs and garlic, where a heavy stone bowl can be more force than the job needs, and it is light enough to hold and use one-handed. A wooden pestle and mortar is also quiet in use, which sounds trivial until you have ground spices in a stone bowl early in the morning.
Wooden pestle and mortar: Materials, Sizes and Features
Being 100% authentic wood, this pestle and mortar is safe and non-toxic in contact with food, and built to last through frequent everyday use rather than occasional jobs. Coming as a set of 2 means you can keep one for strongly flavoured work like garlic and chilli and the other for delicate herbs and seeds, which stops flavours carrying between them.
Caring for Your Wooden pestle and mortar
Caring for a wooden pestle and mortar is different from stone. Rinse it with warm water and dry it thoroughly rather than soaking it or putting it in a dishwasher, as prolonged water exposure swells wood and eventually splits it. Avoid strong detergents, which wood absorbs, and oiling it occasionally with a food-safe mineral oil keeps the grain sealed. Stored somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight, a wooden set will stay serviceable for many years rather than needing regular replacement.
Getting the Most From a Wooden Pestle and Mortar
Technique matters more than force with a wooden pestle and mortar. A firm pressing and rolling motion against the side of the bowl breaks material down far better than hammering straight down, which mostly scatters it. Working in small batches gives a more even result than filling the bowl, since the pestle can only reach so much at once. For herbs, adding a pinch of coarse salt gives the pestle something to grind against and speeds the whole job up considerably.
