Umien™ Granite Mortar and Pestle Set - 100% Granite - 3.5-Cups - 8-Inch – Avocado Tool Included – Natural Stone Molcajete for Spices, Pestos, & Guacamole (Grey) - Stone Grinder - Guacamole

I needed a larger mortar and pestle to make guacamole, as well as grinding dried herbs. This 3.5 cup size is perfect. It comes with an anti-scratch pad that prevents the granite from scratching the counter surface, affixed with self adhesive. While it does not say it is dishwasher safe, I have put it in my dishwasher with no issues. I chose not use the anti-scratch pad for that reason and place it on a silicone matt instead. The rounded end of the pestle club is comfortable to hold in your hand and has a good-sized grinding surface. I like how this sits firmly on the countertop.Mortars that sit on legs can tip when you are pressing down on firmer food. No way this mortar bowl will ever tip over! It is made of very sturdy, thick granite. The bonus avocado "knife" is a nice addition, too.

Perfect size and material

Exactly what I needed. Very sturdy and will last. Great for the kitchen.

Works like a charm. Nice and large.

Very pretty but very heavy!

Like it for making guacamole. It takes a good bit of effort to season it (initially before use) crushing rice repeatedly till it comes out clean. Once seasoned, we crushed the garlic, herbs, etc for guacamole with the stone pestle in the stone bowl. We use a potato masher in a separate bowl to prepare the avocados. We mixed all together in the stone bowl and served it. It feels well made.

Well made, great for making your favorite ingredients

Exactly what my chef wife needed the piece is perfect
