Stone (Granite) Mortar and Pestle, 8 In, 3+ Cup Capacity Review by D. Norris

I wish I could do a video review of this lovely, HUGE, hunk of granite. It's finished darker on the outside and the top rim and inside are lighter gray in color, making a nice contrast. The inside is very smoothly ground, I doubt it will need to have rice ground into it to season as some reviewers suggested. The pestle is also nice and smooth, except for a small section at the top of it, but this just may end up helping hold it. As some have said, it is really large, but I see this as a plus since you can still use it for small amounts but if it were smaller you'd have to do more batches for a larger crowd. Considering granite's hardness and the solid build of this thing, I can see it getting passed down for many generations as a treasured heirloom, unlike the softer or porous ones. Maybe my grandchildren will say, "This was my Grandma's", when asked about it.


Stone (Granite) Mortar and Pestle, 8 In, 3+ Cup Capacity Review by perrymasonary "perrymasonary" (Miami, Florida)

I have revised this reivew and changed my 2 star rating to a 5 star rating.

Import Foods has provided me excellent service and communication. Shipment was fast and the product was safely packed.

I ordered this 3 cup mortar and pestle after all the positive reviews on Amazon and from professional chefs. I wanted a quality product I could use for a variety of cooking projects--gucuamole, pesto, spice grinding, etc... My 1 1/2 cup marble mortar is a bit small for gucumole.

The initial 3 cup mortar I received apparently slipped by quality control, as it had a substantial piece of the base that had broken off reattached. The seam was visible 360 degrees.

There was a bit of confusion when I brought this to Import Foods attention the day it was delivered 12/7 when I phoned to report the defect. This was probably due to copy cat mortars having glued bases and some purchases not realizing the units are not perfectly smooth on the outside and intentionally rough finish on the inside.

However, a few photos later of the defect Jerry at Import Foods promptly responded, as I recieved an email on 12/8 and a voice mail. I'm sorry I missed his call. He was very gracious and is sending out a replacement mortar due to the second quality mortar originally shipped slipping through quality control, an unusual circumstance he told me.

I really appreciate Jerry's prompt attention to this matter after I was able to illustrate the defects with photos. I have confidence in Import Foods as a reliable and responsive seller and I am looking foward to receiving the replacement mortar in 2 days, seasoning it and putting it to use. I will update my reivew when it arrives.

UPDATE: Just as Jerry promised the replacement mortar arrived within 2 says safely packed and as promised first quality--no defects! Now I'm off to season it with some lemon and rice so I can put it to use. I wish all seller's were as responsive as Import Foods and stand behind their products.

This is a good useful product.
Before you order, visualize what 7 in looks like, so you won't be amazed later (it's big).
