Umien™ Granite Mortar and Pestle Set - 100% Granite - 3.5-Cups - 8-Inch – Avocado Tool Included – Natural Stone Molcajete for Spices, Pestos, & Guacamole (Grey) - Stone Grinder - Guacamole

Exactly as advertised. Large, hefty, does wonderful with grinding, love to making guac in it. Extremely high quality, would recommend

I needed a larger mortar and pestle to make guacamole, as well as grinding dried herbs. This 3.5 cup size is perfect. It comes with an anti-scratch pad that prevents the granite from scratching the counter surface, affixed with self adhesive. While it does not say it is dishwasher safe, I have put it in my dishwasher with no issues. I chose not use the anti-scratch pad for that reason and place it on a silicone matt instead. The rounded end of the pestle club is comfortable to hold in your hand and has a good-sized grinding surface. I like how this sits firmly on the countertop.Mortars that sit on legs can tip when you are pressing down on firmer food. No way this mortar bowl will ever tip over! It is made of very sturdy, thick granite. The bonus avocado "knife" is a nice addition, too.

I loooooooooooove my molcajete! Love it! I just started growing hot peppers this year as a hobby to pass the time during the pandemic, and as my harvest came in I didn’t know what to do with the, all! What do you do with 240 habaneros? Make pepper flakes! I ordered this as a more natural, useful, option than a coffee grinder to grind up dried peppers, and we’ve used it for much more than just that. My wife mashes mangos, we make salsa I. It, and of course guacamole.This is a solid, heavy, GRANITE, molcajete. Very thick and easy to use. Easy to season, and instructions on how to do it are included. It has padded feet, so it won’t scratch your counter top, and the weight keeps it from sliding around when mashing or grinding. It’s very attractive and can be left out. We use it as a bowl for tomato’s and avocados when it’s not being used to prepare food.Very easy to clean, but here’s a pro tip: don’t rinse it out after grinding up a dried habanero. Leave the residual dust in it for the next time you make guacamole. The avocado will absorb it and give your guacamole a punch kick! Muy caliente!

Perfect size for my needs. Be sure to prep it before your first use. It takes time but worth it. It works much better than a marble one I used before.

Overall, the bowl is great—heavy, well-made, and high quality. The avocado knife arrived broken, but to be honest, I wasn’t planning to use it much anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal for me. However, one concern worth mentioning is that the customer support email and the warranty link provided didn’t work. That’s definitely something the company should address.
