Elevate your cooking game with a mortar and pestle. Used for centuries, the mortar and pestle is unrivaled in its ability to crush spices and herbs without generating heat to extract more flavor. Plus this old-school kitchen tool is perfect when you need only a small amount of ingredients, as when preparing gremolata, homemade curry spice mixes or Cuban mojo marinade. This upgraded version made of marble sits on a rubber base that keeps the mortar from slipping and allows it to be positioned at different angles for easier mixing.
