 Extra-Large Granite Stone Mortar and Pestle
only $42.95
Excellent gift idea for the avid cook!
Yes, this is the same mortar and pestle used by the Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver. The largest mortar and pestle we offer, it has nearly double the bowl size of our 'large' mortar and pestle!
Imported from Thailand, each mortar and pestle is machine cut from solid rock and hand finished. The inside of the bowl and bottom of the pestle are polished smooth. The pestle is heavy, making it easy to quickly grind up herbs and spices.
(approximately: 8" diameter, 5 1/4" bowl, 5" height; 7" pestle; approx. 3 cups capacity; 15lb shipping wt.)
Carved from natural gray granite, this set will last a lifetime.
Visit our website for other sizes and types of mortar and pestles.
