About this item
- A kitchen must-have: Mortar and pestle set (mortero de cocina - morter and pessel - molcajete or guacamole bowl and pestel) has been used for THOUSANDS of years as THE way to crush, grind and powder herbs and dry spices. Contrary to an electric grinder or crusher, the age-old, durable, traditional manual grinding method ensures that all cooking ingredients bring out their full flavor and aroma profiles, allowing you to further control their texture and make delicious, chunk-free dishes.
- Versatile tool: Take advantage of your brand new stone motar and pedestal set’s various applications in the kitchen and simplify your everyday life! Use your mortor to pulverize nuts, seeds, ginger root and garlic and make homemade salad dressing, sauces and condiments, such as fresh mustard, quacamole, pesto, salsa, chutneys and more. Widely used in pharmacies and apothecaries, your molcajete set will help you powder pills, for optimal ingestion, or hide them in your stubborn pet’s kibble!
- Effortless use: This ChefSofi stone mocajetes motor & pedestal set was designed with your convenience in mind. Made from unpolished granite, you will waste no time fumbling or stabilizing your pestal masher, as our motar’s cup interior provides the best, metate-like natural friction for swift ingredient crushing, grinding or powdering. With a 500 ml (approx. 2 Cup) capacity, this stone mortor also reduces the need for ingredient refills, affording quick food prep, in one go!
- Quick cleaning & zero kitchen messes: As granite is inherently durable and heavy, this mortar will not slip on your kitchen counters, remaining still throughout the grinding process. Our pestle offers foolproof grip, gliding across the mortar’s interior, without the need of excess hand motions, which would result in ingredient waste and kitchen counter messes! By investing in this stoneware set, you are gaining a timeless, multifunctional kitchen tool, which will make cooking a breeze!
- Satisfaction guarantee: We want you to be absolutely elated with your moter and pestle set, which is why we are offering you a Risk-Free purchase. In the unlikely event our set fails to meet or exceed your expectations, you are welcome to return it for a hassle-free, FULL refund.

Product Description
CAN’T GET YOUR FOOD TO BE THE MOST FLAVORFUL VERSION OF ITSELF?
There are so many fancy kitchen items out there—from blenders to spice grinders. But because these appliances have motors, the heat generated from them degrades and mutes the bright flavors of your spices. Instead of enjoying a flavorful paste, you get to miss out on the tasty goodness of your fresh herbs. Is there a kitchen tool that can extract more flavor than any spinning blade or vicious food processor?
The Mortar and Pestle Set by ChefSofi lets you enjoy bold flavors every single time.
Standard 6 Inch 2 Cup Capacity, Unpolished | EXTRA Large 8 Inch 5 Cup Capacity, Unpolished | Standard 6 Inch 2 Cup Capacity, Black Polished Exterior | EXTRA Large 8 Inch 5 Cup Capacity, Black Polished Exterior | ChefSofi Standard and EXTRA Large Mortar and Pestle Sets | ChefSofi Cheese Board + ChefSofi Standard Mortar and Pestle Set | |

MULTIPLE CULINARY USES
There’s plenty you can create with this great set of kitchen tools. Spice up your Indian cooking by crushing cardamom seeds, create flavorful Asian recipes by smashing fresh peeled ginger, or intensify your Italian bread by turning fresh garlic cloves into a paste. Beyond grinding herbs and spices, you can also use your mortar and pestle to whip up amazing guacamole, curry paste, pesto, or chimichurri.
PERFECT SHAPE & FORM
The best mortars are those with a deep round shape that keeps your ingredients from jumping or spilling out. Our 6-inch mortar with 2-cup capacity is sizeable enough for mashing small quantities of herbs and spices. Its pestle is broad with a rounded base so ingredients do not pop out from under. The mortar has a stable base that comes with a non-skid felt base to keep the granite from marking your countertop.
SATISFY THE PALATE
Get the most flavor out of your spices with this simple ancient device. By pounding and crushing the fibers of your herbs, our mortar and pestle set effectively releases the full range of essential oils, flavors, and aroma they contain. The depth of flavor that emerges in the hand-grinding process is something you won’t find if you are prepping your ingredients using a blender, electric grinder, or food processor.
CREATE FLAVORFUL PASTES & SAUCES WITH THE CHEFSOFI MORTAR AND PESTLE SET!

EASY-TO-USE COOKING AIDNothing makes ingredients more dynamic than the good old hand grinding from your traditional mortar and pestle. Even if you already have a food processor, your kitchen is not complete without this set. To use, fill the mortar 1/3 full only to avoid spillage and making crushing difficult. Be sure to start with the hardest ingredients to grind. If you need to grind a large number of ingredients, do so in batches. |
SWEAT-FREE CLEANING & UPKEEPMade of minimal-porosity granite stone, our mortar and pestle do not have a high tendency to absorb flavors and odors, making the set very easy to clean after each use. To clean, simply bring out some uncooked white rice. Grind it into powder to remove unwanted flavors from sticking to your tools. Dust the powder, and you’re done. You can also wash it with water afterwards and leave it to air dry. Try to avoid soap as much as you can. |
A TIMELESS, FUNCTIONAL GIFTWhile ancient, our mortar and pestle are tools no modern kitchen should be without. With all the exciting things one can create with this amazing set, it makes a thoughtful gift for homemakers, chefs, foodies, and those who love to prepare their food with herbs and spices. It comes in two sizes, 8-inch (5-cup) unpolished heavy granite and 6-inch (2-cup) set available in unpolished and black polished heavy granite. |

I am no chef and never used one of these things, however I followed the instructions to season it along with watching a lot of How to Season your Mortar and Pestle videos online and in the end this thing was awesome and did everything I needed. I bought it to specifically crush dried hot peppers and the results were beyond my expectations. My wife can use this for a lot of other things and we plan on growing spices next year to put this to good use.

The weight of the Mortar and Pestle is perfect, it helps stabilize and crush whatever you put in. It was very easy clean and it looks pretty amazing.
I like that it comes with a thin foam pad that you stick on the bottom to minimize impact with your counter. I still recommend using it over a small towel or something to dampen the impact on your counter and the sound that makes.
It is heavy so it can be hard to pick up, empty it’s contents, clean etc. So that’s something to consider for those who might have hand/arm pain or weakness.
It also is sizeable so need to find a place in my kitchen for yet another gadget but I do think it is worth the space. .
Comes with very clear, simple and concise instructions for first time use and overall care (never use soap!). If they hadn’t had these instructions written very visibly and clearly I probably would have done it all wrong. Thankfully it caught my attention and all is well.
I like that this is kind of like a wok. It soaks in a bit of whatever you are grinding and over time it can add seasoning back into what you grind in it.
I now use it regularly to grind up my spices for chai tea, mash up ginger or garlic for recipes. Crush up peppers. Made ground roasted sesame for a homemade Chinese sesame paste. Very happy with this purchase.
Quality Feel (⭐⭐⭐⭐):
Upon first use, I was immediately struck by the quality feel of this mortar and pestle set. It exudes craftsmanship and durability, which adds to its overall appeal.
Performance (⭐⭐⭐⭐):
In terms of performance, the ChefSofi set exceeded my expectations. It efficiently grinds and crushes various ingredients, making it a valuable tool in the kitchen for grinding spices, herbs, and more.
Recommended Product (⭐⭐⭐⭐):
I wholeheartedly recommend the ChefSofi Mortar and Pestle Set to anyone in need of a reliable and well-crafted kitchen essential. It's a versatile tool that can elevate your culinary experience.
In summary, the ChefSofi Mortar and Pestle Set not only boasts a quality feel but also delivers exceptional performance in the kitchen. It has earned my recommendation as a must-have kitchen product for those who appreciate the art of grinding and blending ingredients.
Using this set to crush and blend my chai spices has become a joy. The solid construction ensures durability, and the grinding process is both smooth and effective. I appreciate the fine control it offers, allowing me to achieve the perfect consistency for my spice mix.
Not only did the Mortar and Pestle Set elevate the quality of my chai tea, but it also brought a tactile and authentic element to the preparation process. It's a fantastic addition to any kitchen, and I'm genuinely delighted with my purchase. If you're a chai enthusiast like me, this set is a must-have. Highly recommended!

It’s sturdy and solid and very easy to use. Clean-up is a breeze.
I could not be happier with this thing, and I foresee many years of use to come.
I ordered specifically to make curry paste and oh wow it does wonders. It's super easy to use, looks great and so easy to clean. The bowl is very sturdy too and lets me pound the roots into a paste easily. Absolutely no regrets with this purchase.
Really happy with it:)
