Ceramic mortar with wooden pestle 20 cm

✨ Ceramic mortar and wooden pestle for fresh, fragrant pastes

This ceramic mortar with wooden pestle helps you grind and crush herbs, spices, garlic, and chillies so their aroma and texture come through at full strength. It’s a simple way to make everyday cooking taste more vivid—especially when you want the punch of freshly crushed ingredients instead of pre-ground powders.

Use it to build curry pastes, spice rubs, and quick sauces right in the bowl: crush garlic with salt, bruise lemongrass, or mash chillies into a paste, then stir in oil, lime, or soy-based seasonings to finish. The 20 cm size gives you room to work without ingredients jumping out.

✅ Key features

• Crushing (not just cutting) releases essential oils for deeper aroma in spices, herbs, and chillies
• Ceramic bowl is great for grinding dry spices and making smooth or chunky pastes, depending on your technique
• Wooden pestle is comfortable for repeated pounding and gentle on delicate ingredients like fresh herbs
• Wide 20 cm mortar gives more working space—handy for curry pastes and larger batches
• Easy to control texture: quick twists for coarse crush, firm pounding for a finer paste

🍽️ How to use

• Make Thai-style curry paste: pound chillies, garlic, and aromatic herbs, then mix into coconut-based sauces
• Create a quick chilli-garlic sauce: crush garlic and chilli with a pinch of salt, then add oil and a splash of vinegar or lime
• Grind whole spices (peppercorns, cumin, coriander) just before cooking for fresher flavour in stir-fries and marinades
• Mash garlic with salt into a smooth paste for noodles, dumpling dips, or roasted vegetables
• Bruise tough aromatics like lemongrass or ginger before simmering to boost flavour in soups and broths

✨ Final touch

Did you know freshly crushed spices can taste noticeably stronger than pre-ground ones because their aromatic oils evaporate more quickly after grinding?
