Questions & Answers
It is unbelievable to think that Jamie Oliver is dependent on China for his income. A depressing story. It is important to me to find a mortar and pestle made in the US. Is it made in America or is it made abroad

Getting this granite mortar ready for use takes a long time. It must be seasoned by grinding several spices for an extended period of time. You may have to wait several weeks until you can use it. A replacement was made for the first one. A $15 tip was offered to the second one. We are giving a discount of $200. It ended up being Loctite PL-II caulk that I bought Unless they start packing them better, I can almost guarantee that the pestle will be broken when you get it. The piece just sits on top of the box with nothing to protect it, which leaves plenty of room for it to fall It breaks from the impact when it bounces during delivery because only a thin piece of cardboard is between it and the mortar.
It has taken me a while to see this. The weight of it is 5 pounds. It weighs 35lbs, is 4' high, and is 2' wide. The outer diameter is 5". We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have. When I got married, I was given one as a gift and I love it!

I love you. The best part! that Jamie Oliver made this product, and this piqued my curiosity. However, I read reviews on other products before making a purchase and opted for this. It is the perfect size and just right for me, and I don't regret it. I was a bit nervous that it would be too small or too smooth. Making curry pastes and pesto is on my list of things to do. I found it easy to season and it was well packed when it arrived. Fill it up to the brim with water to hold 2 cups. the garlic crusher to crush some garlic and it worked perfectly! Aside from its size and handling, I really like how it looks. My wood mortar and pestle would absorb all the smells from the ingredients when I used it, so I stopped using it. Despite cleaning easily and leaving no odor behind, this does not leave behind any odors.
My goal has always been to own an unpolished granite mortar and pestle and I am so pleased with my purchase. There is a lot of capacity. It is a bit heavy (expected), but is If you are using rice as a seasoning, make sure you season it properly. During the washing process, it evens out stones so that particles don't end up in your food, along with removing dusty powdery buildup from sitting in a After completing, it was perfectly done. This didn't include instructions, so I had to look it up on my own. As a matter of preference, I prefer to use rice and water.
It is just the right size. The stone smell is completely gone after seasoning, and I was able to use it within seconds after washing it and allowing it to air dry (which was quite quick). Anyone who cooks should try this product!.
It was delivered broken more than once. Due to the poor design of the packaging (no padding whatsoever, just an inset where the pestle slides out), the pestle seems to have a weak point. Although it has a lot of weight, perhaps I should have splurged to have it polished since I can really tell there has been machine processing done to the stone. After more than a decade of use, the pestle I still had was still good enough to make some mojitos. Overall, I am disappointed with this product due to its lack of durability. I could have spent less on a more durable item to achieve the same result.
Having just removed the pestle from the box, I found myself disappointed that it did not come with any "instructions" regarding the seasoning process, nor any tips on certain items for first-time pestle users. In addition, instructions must be provided regarding how to open the box. There is a statement on the outside of the box that says WATER SHOULD BE WARM, SOAPY. In spite of this, the instructions related to the product on the website where it is listed recommend you NOT use soap. I will see how that goes. Despite not having used it yet, I am interested. Although it looks good, the discrepancy between SOAP and NO SOAP is something that leaves me a little confused. Hope it works out for you.
This purchase was packaged wonderfully, and I am in love with it. No care/use instructions are included in the package, so I cannot give it a 5 star rating. A pistol. The following is what Jamie said I would like to include a small card or print something on my Do not wash with soap, and season well before using. Rinse with water, do not wash with soap. It may be difficult for an unexperienced cook to ruin a great product.
I ended up choosing this one instead, and it's fine. It has a Jamie Oliver rustic look to it on the outside. A bit mottled and unfinished, but one can still find a bit of charm in it. You just need to season it for 10 minutes or so and you can use it immediately. The granite arrived well-packaged and intact. I did not detect any cracks in the granite.
Take a look. Now is the time to purchase one of these and you will know that you have a great gift to give when The hint is. Stay around during that and you will have earned even more points. The "breaking in" process is a long one, so if you can help grind some dry rice and some spices, that will be very helpful.
