Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fox Run 4-Inch Marble Mortar and Pestle
Customer Review: Functional & Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Not too big, not too small, so you can keep it at the ready on your kitchen counter (I cover it loosely with a clear plastic bag from a bread loaf). The bowl is 'heavy' - very heavy, so it stays in place - you don't want to drop it on your bare foot.
It's a beautiful (and ancient-looking) piece of kitchen ware. I've crushed peppercorns using very slight pressure; mashed shelled walnuts and almonds into pastes; turned large turbinado sugar crystals into fine grains; same with salt crystals. It's also perfect for making onion powder from dried, minced onions.
It's easy to clean with soap and water or only water.
Customer Review: Excellent!

Great Mortar and Pestle! Have had it for around a week or so, and used it to crush garlic and cardamom. The pestle is quite heavy so crushing is an easy task and finishes within a few minutes. Also, it is very easy to clean, which is usually a concern with a tool that's exposed to so much aroma and substances. The only issue I noticed is that there was a slight odor of garlic still left even after cleaning, but then again when you crush ten cloves of garlic at a time and make a paste out of them I suppose that is to be expected. Would definitely recommend itCustomer Review: Grind those herbs
Summary: 5 Stars
This mortar and pestle combo is great. We use it to create spicy rubs, some homemade curry powder, and fresh cracked peppercorns (mmmmmm).
Both pieces are made from a nice white marble, and are hefty enough for regular use. The foot on the base gives you a good place to grip whilst you bang away at your herbs.
We've got no complaints at all
10/10
Customer Review: It's just great
Summary: 5 Stars
It's very heavy, looks like real marble. Mine is a bit darker gray then the picture shows, I love it. It's heavy enough so it doesn't move while you're working, the inside is not polished so it's easy to grind in it. The outside is polished so it's easy to clean it and it looks pretty good. It's not something you have to hide after use, looks like decoration while doing a great job.Customer Review: Really Nice Mortar and Pestle!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mortar and pestle is perfect -- it is heavy enough to really work, but small enough to be portable if needed. I use it every day to crush vitamins for my son, so it sits on the counter and crushes the tablets into a fine powder within seconds. I also bring it along when we travel (fits right back into the solid cardboard box). It's beautiful and functional, at a great price.
