EZ-Grip Mortar & Pestle

The same non-porous porcelain pharmacies trust for grinding, built for your kitchen. Crushing herbs and spices by hand releases the essential oils a blade grinder chops right past — it's how chili and curry pastes get their depth.

• Apothecary-grade porcelain: won't absorb flavors like wood, powder off like marble, or rust like steel. The unglazed grinding surface stays intact grind after grind.
• Grip that helps: a silicone-handled pestle and detachable non-slip silicone base keep everything steady — a real difference for arthritic hands and tired wrists.
• Grinds almost anything: spices, nuts, seeds, coffee, teas, breadcrumbs, muddled drinks, guacamole, even crushed medication for pets or people.
• Genuinely easy to clean: dishwasher safe, or a quick wash with soap and water — no odor transfer between uses.

Mortar measures 4.5 inches across and 3.25 inches tall; the pestle is 5.5 inches. A tool that's worked for 37,000 years, finally with a decent grip.
