Who owns a Mortor and Pestle?

[Pirate]

It's a curiosity of mine.

 

[ZorkiKat]

I still do. Still used in the Kitchen. Made of marble.

I have a french one at my parents place, beautiful wood.
I have used it twice in my life I think. how random!

 

[dexdog]

I have an 8 inch mortar of hard green stone, with 6 inch pestle, made in Thailand. I use it for crushing spices and such in the kitchen.

I'm guessing mine is much like yours
I use it for crushing spice, making pastes, etc and on a fairly frequent basis (a couple of times a week) the more time that passes the less i use the gadgets in my kitchen and the more i stick to a couple of good knives and the mortar.

My mother does yeah, all brass
Been with the family for 3 or 4 generations.

Me too. It's the best. Get one of these if you're going to get one.

Just realize you'll have to hit the weights if you want to move it.

The pestle could double as a sap in case of burglary.

I have an old wooden mortar and pestle which I use to crush spices and to make pesto. It was a gift... and it does get frequent use.

Why would I reply to a question like this one?

 

[newspaperguy]

Anybody who cooks probably has one in the kitchen.

 

[venchka]

Not only does Mrs. Wayne have them in her kitchen, we bought a set last weekend to give as a gift.

 

[dcsang]

I've got 2 - one white marble and small, the other wooden and larger - use them a few times a year - also use it to ride... because I'm a witch !!

I actually asked because while reading in the Film forum, someone mentioned using one to crush up some ingredients for making Caffenol film developer. I realized that I have one too and got curious who else here has one.

 

[andredossantos]

Yup. Something that you may not use everyday but is invaluable when you need one.

 

[geordiefred]

My wife has one. Bought it and I think used it once. It is heavy enough to bring the cupboard off the wall.

 

[Andy Kibber]

I have one. It was a gift. I think I've used it one or twice. I find it much easier to use a food processor or spice grinder.

Exactly.
