Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 5.5-inch Ceramic Suribachi Set
Customer Review: Perfect!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Exactly as discribed, small 5 & 1/2 inch! It is exactly like my grandmothers smaller bowl. This is so much nicer for grinding fresh and dry, I wouldn't trade it for the old type, ever. And yes it takes a little more time to clean, but for what it does, it isn't that much more work, I use a small button type vegetable brush with plastic bristles to clean mine, works so much faster then the bamboo brush.
(I hope you get in the larger 8 inch bowl for bigger jobs some time soon)
Helen's Asian Kitchen 5-1/2-Inch Ceramic Suribachi Set
Description of Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 5.5-inch Ceramic Suribachi Set
A beautiful and essential kitchen tool for the preparation of many Asian dressings, sauces and pastes. Introduced from Southern China in the 11th century, the Japanese mortar (suribachi) and wooden pestle (surikogi) is an important tool in the Japanese kitchen. The literal translation of suribachi is grinding bowl. And that is what it does to perfection. The unglazed ridged interior facilitates grinding and prevents ingredients from slipping and sliding. The traditional wooden pestle is designed to prevent unnecessary wearing down of the ridges. This is a traditional Japanese mortar and wooden pestle with a bonus bamboo cleaning brush. To use: Simply place the suribachi over a damp towel or rubber mat on your work counter. Hold the pestle with one hand and rotate the pestle against the ridges. Use the specially designed bamboo brush to help dislodge ingredients.A Japanese version of the mortar and pestle, this suribachi set from Helen's Asian Kitchen is ideally suited to grinding and crushing herbs, seeds, and spices for deliciously fresh food. Crafted from durable earthenware with a rich brown outer glaze, the suribachi bowl features an unglazed, ribbed interior. This design holds ingredients at a slope for efficient, visible grinding. The coordinating wooden pestle, or surikogi, works well with the ceramic materials, so that the ingredients, not the bowl, take the beating. Comfortable in the hand, the pestle is shaped to maximize the contours of the suribachi bowl for uniform and quick results. A bamboo brush also comes with the set for precision cleaning of the bowls' ribs. All pieces should be washed by hand to preserve their integrity. --Emily Bedard
