Review on 🌢️ Bekith Mortar and Pestle Sets: Premium Stainless Steel Spice Grinder, Pill Crusher, Molcajete Herb Bowl by Jody Tibbetts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Positive and negative sides; Consider how you will use it

There are pros and cons and to some extent they depend on how you intend to use the mortar and pestle. Stainless steel. You don't have to worry about the bottom cracking as has been reported with some ceramic or stone based kits. Because the inner surface is smooth, it is easy to clean. If you use a mortar and pestle to crush and crush the tablets, this would be a good choice. I use it to grind saffron and make my own saffron powder to add to soups, stews and risottos. Works well for this task. If you're using this to "grind" other spices, especially those shaped like pips or seeds, and want to take cumin seeds (for example) and turn them into a powder to add to bread or bagel dough, then you might you be frustrated. The smooth inner surface offers very little grip and as a result you simply slide the item from side to side without greatly affecting the size reduction. If you want to make pesto, this isn't the ideal choice either. It's compact enough, it does some things well so I'm keeping it, but for my own purposes if I could find a ceramic mortar and pestle with a hard (rather than thin-walled) bottom I think it would be better. the choice is mine. Ultimately, your satisfaction probably comes down to how you intend to use it.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
