Mortar And Pestle

Thai Kitchen Style. The mortar and pestle were used by many cultures throughout pre-industrial history to grind food and medicine; the Thai stone "krok", or mortar and pestle, first entered Siamese culture in the twelfth century. Its simple, practical form is carved from solid granite, and convincingly indicates that it is sturdy enough for prolonged and vigorous use. We appreciate the elegance and perfection of design that makes a beautiful and extraordinarily useful kitchen fixture. Necessary for the ultra-fresh staples of Thai cooking, they are vital to grinding the varied spices that give these delicious dishes their unique bite. Ours are cut from granite and hand finished in Northern Thailand. ------------------------------------------------------------- This popular item is currently out of stock in our LA warehouse and will ship out upon arrival in the 4th week of Sept. 2010
