Customer Reviews of Typhoon Cast Iron Pestle and Mortar
Customer Rating:   Summary: Good quality, a little difficult to clean! Comment: This is a great product and just what I was looking for after searching for ages for a decent sized pestle and mortar. You can make a good sized batch of guacamole in here and you can serve it straight from the mortar as the bowl is nice enough to put on the table. The one problem with it though is that it is fairly difficult to wash if you are using it for wet stuff, like guacamole. Other than that though, a great item at a good price. Customer Rating: Summary: Really effective on whole spices Comment: If you cook from scratch and store your spices whole (which keeps them fresher and more tasty), then this mortar and pestle are for you. In the past we have tried ceramic and stone, but the surfaces are just too smooth to be effective. The weight of the pestle and the rough surface of the cast iron mortar take care of even cinnamon stick, star anise, and cloves. Just be aware not to go anywhere near it with water or salt, as rust will follow, unless you oil it afterwards. We recommend using an old-fashioned pastry brush to get the spices out after grinding. Excellent value for money and an indispensible item in our kitchen. Customer Rating: Summary: A Godsend! Comment: After years of using a tiny little suribachi to grind up spices, I upgraded to this. My God, what a difference! I was able to grind up a handful of dried rice into a powder in an hour -- that task would have taken days in the old mortar. It makes fast work of anything, and it holds quite a bit, so I don't have that old problem of having to grind in batches. There are only a couple of little problems. First, the pestle is a little short for how deep the bowl is, so I find I often hit my knuckles against the edges as I grind. Also, I've not had the mortar long, but I'm already noticing wear, especially on the pestle; and when grinding up small batches of food, I notice a slight metallic taste is left. I suppose any mortar would get worn and wind up in ones food, though. More Reviews This matte black mortar and pestle from Typhoon is perfect for grinding herbs, seeds, pills, and more. Made from heavy cast iron, it features a textured interior and pestle end for superior crushing and grinding. The mortar has been pre-seasoned for maximum performance and has a large, 25.5 ounce capacity. Hand washing recommended. 
Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens The standard 60cm oven has been joined by various other sizes. Now consumers can choose from 60,70 and 90cm wide built-in single ovens. Always check the internal capacity shown in litres as well as the external dimensions. Typhoon Cast Iron Pestle and Mortar
Kitchen tips -> Parsley To obtain more flavor from parsley, remove the stems and only use the leaves. Use a scissors to cut the leaves into pieces instead of chopping with a knife. Chopping generally causes the leaves to become mushy |
