Instructions
Preparing your mortar for first time use
A new mortar and pestle set needs to be cured and seasoned to remove stone grit from the inside.
A new mortar and pestle set needs to be cured and seasoned to remove stone grit from the inside.
Curing Process:
- Scrub the mortar and pestle with a brush under running water and allow to air dry. Never use soap or detergent in the mortar.
- Fill ½ with white rice. Grind in a circular motion all the way around to a fine powder. Discard and repeat until the rice grinds white, is “clean” and has no grit or colour in it.
- Rinse with cold water and allow to air dry.
- Add 4 cloves of garlic, coarse salt, cumin seeds and a bit of whole coriander.
- Grind the ingredients to a paste. Make sure it covers all the inner surface.
- Allow the mixture to remain in the mortar and residue on the pestle at least overnight (12 hours).
- Scrape out and discard the mixture. Rinse the mortar and pestle once again under running water and allow to air-dry thoroughly. It is now cured and seasoned and ready for use.
