| I remember reading that someone was looking for a mortar and pestle, but cannot find it. I have both a wooden one and a glass one and it depends what I am grinding or mixing as to which I use. If you are still looking, you might ask your pharmacist. That is where I purchased my glass one. He ordered it for me and it works great for mixing herbs and spices that I want to have a "clean taste". I also use it to mix garlic or herb butters. The wooden set absorbs the oils from previously mixed herbs and adds flavor to newer mixes, much as a garlic rubbed wooden salad bowl would. |

Tina Michelle was looking for one awhile back, but maybe not now with moving in her near future.
The one I use is marble, hard enough to not absorb flavors. |

I was also looking...but I found one through a cooking store in Manhattan---I'm very specific about my mortar and pestle, both size and material--I like an unfinished interior of the bowl and wand, as opposed to smooth, and the sides should be taller. When making pastes, it works the best (for me). The one I had came from England and I adored it and then it fell off the cabinet one day into a million pieces.
It only took me a year and 1/2 to find the new one!!
