Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used a combination of spending a night grinding water and letting the slurry help make a polish, and following the seasoning instructions. I've been using this set for months. Sturdiness? You could legit bludgeon a raging bear to death with the mortar. Rinse it off, and then go back to making the dry rub for the ribs you were going to make. The pestle? Goddess wept, that would easily break the extremities of zombie-infected 7 year olds with zero kung fu skills. That's great, but this set isn't just there to help you survive the zombie apocalypse. It's daunting how finely I've been able to grind herbs and spices with this set. My pepper grinder is now shooting looks of black hatred and green jealousy because of the mortar and pestle set which has supplanted it. I keep this stored in the top shelf of my cabinet. Not only is this great for the culinary masterpieces it will help you create, you could lift and lower this thing several times for a great upper arm workout. "Never skip arm day", you say? You don't have to, you have this mortar and pestle! Rinse it out with water and your fingers, dry it off, get a quick workout in, and plan your next amazing dish. The seasoning is a pain (both in your arms and your a**). But you put that work in, and you have an amazing mortar and pestle which will, yes, help you survive the zombie apocalypse or local bear rabies epidemic.
