Prepare flavorful herbs, spices, and pestos for the tastiest dishes with aid from this mortar and pestle by Le Creuset. Designed for littler portions, the 10-ounce unit accommodates anything from fennel, black pepper, and mustard seeds to fresh basil, thyme, oregano, and more. Its unglazed, abrasive interior and pestle tip invent the perfective surface for effective crushing and grinding to release full flavors and aromas. Crafted from stoneware, the unit features a hard-wearing, impermeable finish fired at temperatures as high as 2192 degrees F. With a porosity level of less than 1 percent, it blocks moisture absorption, which means no cracking, crazing, or rippling along the interior. Even more, the unit’s high-quality enamel exterior features refined and tasteful detailing and helps protect versus metal marks and other damage. Thermal-resistant from -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F, it may safely go from the freezer to the microwave, oven, or broiler and into the dishwasher for quick cleanup when finished. Available in a potpourri of colors, the mortar and pestle measures approximately 5 by 4 by 5 inches and coordinates beautifully with other pieces in the Le Creuset collection.

looks nice
By guy
looks nice, and is made of quality. i had no idea a mortar and pestle was so much work, though. took 1/2 hour to mash up a tablespoon of caraway seeds!

Great for pulverizing pills
By linph
My mom has to give pills to the dogs every day, and they’re too smart to take a whole pill hidden in some food. She started breaking up the pills using a knife handle, but bits of pill were flying everywhere. So, I bought her this mortar and pestle and her troubles are over. She can now easily pulverize the pills and sprinkle them into some meat to give the dogs, and they take it without complaint. It’s made things easier; plus, she really likes the color.

Nice But Small…
By Lorna J. Loomis
I wanted this Le Creuset Mortar and Pestle set in Caribbean, for a little while. I finally ordered it but I didn’t notice in the description that it’s only 10 ounces in size. I was a bit surprised when it arrived. It was much smaller than I anticipated. I’m keeping it because it is fine for small quantities of spices, which is the reason I wanted it and it also matches the rest of my Le Creuset but it is very small. The upside of this is that it does not take much storage speace in my kitchen but I now have a Mortar and Pestle for those rare occassions when I need to blend (or crush) a few spices!
