Umien Granite Mortar and Pestle Set 8-Inch (3.5-Cup), Molcajete, Grey | 100% Granite, Avocado Tool Included, Molcajete Mexicano, for Guacamole, Spices, Herbs & Pesto, Premium Kitchen Gift

Absolutely Perfect – A Kitchen Must-Have!I couldn't be happier with the Umien Granite Mortar and Pestle Set! From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell this was a high-quality product. The granite is solid, heavy, and beautifully textured—exactly what you want for effective grinding and durability. It has a rustic, elegant look that adds character to my kitchen.Functionally, it’s a dream. I've used it to crush garlic, grind spices, make pesto, and even guacamole. Everything turns out smoother and more flavorful compared to using a food processor. The inner surface has just the right amount of roughness to help break down ingredients without being hard to clean.If you're serious about cooking or even just want to elevate your homemade meals, this is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

I acquired the UMIEN Granite Mortar and Pestle Set a few years ago (purchase: April, 2023). As far as functionality and aesthetics, there isn't anything I don't like about this mortar and pestle set. I like that it's all granite. Knowing that this item is pure stone makes me trust that nothing bad is going to seep into my food if I crush it. It's also very easy to clean. I haven't had any issues with the surface flaking off or food stains because of the granite material. I love the look of the item. It's a simple design and lends itself to just sitting out on display. Grey is a neutral color as well so if the color of the kitchen changes, then there isn't as much worry about needing to change out this item. The only critique of this mortar and pestle is that it's a little bit heavier than I expected. However, it is made of granite, so I should've expected the heft of the mortar. I would purchase this item again if needed and I would recommend this item to my family.

Gorgeous, heavy, and a joy to use! Also I’m quite pleased with the durability after months of use, having dropped the pestle on the floor multiple times without any sign of damage.

Received this item today and it looks pretty good, it’s heavy and seems like a great product, but I. haven’t used it yet. It came with a card that says if I scan the QR code, it gives one year warranty for the product. But when I try to scan it, it’s saying to “follow the white rabbit” whatever that means. I don’t wanna click on unnecessary link or following anything. I wish they could just make it easy to access these warranties.🤷🏻‍♀️ Also it came with no instructions and I wish they include a cookbook also.

I bought this for the sole purpose of crushing solid chunks of very hard Himalayan pink salt so I can grind down. The thing is massive and super sturdy probably 10-12lbs and works as expected. It's very rough in surface finish which is what you want in this type mortar so you can really grind and crush. The pestle is a little smaller than a baseball in the palm with good heft to do it's business. I also get the added bonus of being able to use it for Guac which is a family fave. With that being said it's a great product so far the only draw back if you buy is the initial seasoning. You must clear out all the grit prior to using it which is not difficult you just have to scrub the dickens out of it with a stiff brush under running water. I had to scrub and rinse about 6 times until the water was clear after that you're good to go.

This is a great mortar & pestle. Its real heavy maing it easier to grind spices and in my case egg shells for the garden.

This is a great product. Have had it for a couple of weeks and here is what I can tell1) Seasoning - I really didnt have to do a lot to season it.. the granite dust is almost non-existent. I did do the rice grinding exercise.. its a workout! but it was fun. I would suggest people to do the garlic seasoning process since its easy, fast and wont make you sweat!2) Size - The size of the bowl is broad. I needed something broad so that I really work on pestos and chutneys with ease.3) The grinding stone or pestle is the highlight for me. Instead of long cylindrical shape (which you see is most mortal pestle sets) this one is like two balls of granite stuck together. its easy on the wrist when grinding. the impact is more on the palm of your hands instead of wrists which is much more delicate. and the impact is much more softer as you are rolling through your ingredients with pressure, instead of pounding on them.4) Heaviness and Sturdiness - this is heavy!! do please do try to lift it, move it wash it in hurry or with one hand.. if it falls.. it will cause serious damage! so always be alert and mindful when you are using it. Its sturdy.. it stays in place when you use.All in all.. I would say this is a great product, well made with great ergonomics.

This mortar is beautiful, big enough too, just over 3 cup. It came with a felt pad for the bottom. Be ready ut is heavy. Like any mortar it needed smoothing, feel the mortar surface, try to smooth thstvout. Simply put in 1.5 cups of water and start grinding the surface with the pestle. This process smooths the mortar surface and the pestle. Mine needs a second time, then it will be ready once it is dry pour uncooked rice in grind it into a powder. Once done, toss out the powder wash it omit out let it dry

Good size, can add a lot in at once to make a pesto. Very happy with the products.
