Thyme & Table Acacia Wood Mortar & Pestle

I love everything about this mortar and pestle. I collect them, and this one is easily my favorite. I love the wood detail and how cute it looks in my kitchen. I'm so glad I added this to my collection.

This is an attractive mortar and pestle set. The acacia wood is a warm, natural tone with blue a cents in the bottom of the bowl and the pestle. The pestle is long enough to get a good grasp on while using. Looks great when not in use as a decor item for open shelves.

I am extremely happy and imprrywith the quality of my new Morta and Pestle! It is madr of excellent quality and resistant materials, very sturdy and lightweight. I absolutely love how it looks! It is almost like a decorative piece over my kitchen countertop!

This is a nice wood set! It washes well and does what it was made to do! Very pleased with it! The wood is very beautiful! Worked great to make my dried cilantro and put it in the seasoning containers! Ill be using it next to make parsley seasoning from the garden and hopefully basil too! It has a cute teal painted accent color!

I love this mortar & pestle set! It's super cute and I love the colors. It really looks great in my kitchen. It's made very well, the bowl is nice and thick and smooth as well as the handle. It works great for grinding herbs and spices. It's made of Acacia wood and has a beautiful color. It's easy to hand wash clean with just soap and water. It's great, I highly recommend.

I've always wanted one of these, I'm glad it's made of such nice quality wood, I'd rather have a wooden one, than one that could crack. I like baking with flax seed, and grinding it into flour for crackers, or cookies. It works great for that purpose. I have an electric hand grinder, but I like having this on hand. It's very easy to clean compared to the grinder.

This Mortar & Pestle set has a smooth wood surface. It is 4" high and 4" wide. It has tall sides that keep contents from spilling out, which prevents minimal kitchen messes. Its weight of 9.37 oz w/o pestle and 11.27 oz w/pestle provides extra stability while in use. It is the same height and width as my 16oz coffee mug! I was able to quickly grind dried whole basil and oregano leaves in seconds to use in my homemade pasta sauce. I was able to crush my Egyptian Chamomile Tea leaves into both fine and coarse textures to use in my tea ball. I also used this set to crush my dog's daily vitamin tablet into a fine powder and put it in her food. It has so many uses, saves time and is easy to clean. This smooth set did not work as well when I tried to crush whole garlic cloves, as I had to really work at it to get the consistency I wanted: I needed a mortar with defined ridges when texture is more important and aids in breaking down tougher items like sesame seeds, peppercorns, tenderizing the skins of hot chiles, and pounding glutinous rice. But for dry spices, this set is excellent! I just wish the bottom of the mortar had non-skid silicone, like my mixing bowls. I was impressed with the overall design and function of this set.

I really like this mini mortar pestle. Love that it's made of wood. I like the shape size and color of it. 4 stars only because you have to hold it while mashing things down in it. It moves easily being lightweight. I use it for mashing ginger for making Indian tea in the mornings. Sometimes for corse grinding of spices like cardamom and cloves. Can't get things ground fine with this but that's ok that's jot the purpose of this mortar pestle anyways. But it's lightweight which is good thing. Just hold It in your hands as you use it. Also for any other corse grinding this works well like coriander seeds etc I use this.

I have always wanted a mortar and pestle. Every one I have ever seen is made of ceramic or stone. I was excited about a wood one. When it arrived, I was happy with how pretty it is. That is, until I used it. I crushed a whole dried herb. And it left deep scratches in the bowl and on the end of the pestle. I do not see this design holding up in time because every use will create more gouges in the wood.

This is a beautifully made mortar and pestle and I love the color but the wood smells weird and it’s incredibly off putting. I can’t run it through the dishwasher or let it soak obviously. I’ll just soap and rinse in really hot water until the smell goes away. Otherwise it feels like a great quality mortar. I wish the pestle was a little heavier.
