Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great product!! Understand that you must SEASON this mortar and pestle before you can use it. Follow the instructions. I would add as an extra seasoning step before the rice put about a cup or two of warm water in the mortar and grind the pestle directly against it. Do the entire interior surface and make sure it is always wet. The water will cloud up and you will have a fine slurry in the bottom that will aid in seasoning. Do this for about an hour or until the interior of the mortar starts to feel smooth. Then rinse it out thoroughly and move on to Step 2 with the rice. I used about 1/4 cup and pulverized it to the consistency of flour. It took me about 10 minutes. After the mortar and pestle are properly seasoned it will perform perfectly. Very happy with mine. Highly recommended.
