Thyme & Table Acacia Wood Mortar & Pestle

This mortar and pestle is very beautiful and well made. We've used it to crush fennel. I had a recipe that called for ground fennel and bought this since I couldn't find ground fennel in stores. This worked well enough in that it broke and crushed the fennel to release flavor, but did poorly in grinding. I think I needed a stone mortar and pestle to grind the fennel. With all that being said, I'm definitely keeping it because it works great with crushing.

Very nice. Just remember it's wood, so the oils of herbs %26 things will seep in %26 flavor the next item. I dedicated this one to grinding fish-fry food.

Beautiful, small size perfect for grinding a small amount of spices at a time. Adds to the aescetic of the room, lovely to look at, well made. Would recommend, would buy again.

I have several different mortar %26 pestles which I use for different purposes - I kinda, inadvertently, ended up being a “collector”! This one is beautiful! I have it all seasoned %26 ready to use but it's kind of a “showpiece” right now because it's so pretty %26 I hesitate to use it lest it gets marred 🤦‍♀️…I WILL, eventually, use it though…

I use it to grind cinnamon sticks to put in my drip brewer coffee basket. Well made, light weight, and attractive/unusual counter piece.

The product is really good. The wood quality and finishing is really as what it is in the description. The product is not dishwasher safe as the usual for wood material. I like it.

Fantastic!!! Very pleased!!!

It is certainly beautiful and feels solid, but in the grinding it doesn't have that definitive GRIT that a stonewear mortar and pestle have, but it was the only one I could get that could be delivered to me in person anywhere. I need a PO box as all my mail is stolen reg. so I can't ship anything.

Everything sticks to inside of bowl. Dry spices just stick to sides and do not pour out all. Need to wipe it out to get spices off of sides.

The thyme and table acacia mortar and pestle is pretty to look at but does not function as it should. It takes some very serious pressure to make things like peppercorns break open. I feel like the smooth wood cannot handle actual the breaking and grinding required to use it. It is good quality as far as wood, and appearance but not as an actual mortar.if you need it to function as it should be don't get this one.
