Rough grinding your ingredients not only enhances the taste of your dishes but also preserves the incredible health benefits of the spices you use. At 80's Cookware, we bring you Soapstone Mortar & Pestles, a unique addition to your kitchen.

Note: Due to the handmade nature of our products, minor deviations from the images are to be anticipated, and products may vary slightly in size, dimensions, and volume.

Customers note that these mortar & pestles are not suited for tough grinding, as the soapstone wears off with extensive use. They are traditionally recommended in homes with young children, as soapstone powder is rich in calcium and magnesium. These should not be used for hard grinding like granite or metal alternatives; instead, they are perfect for gentle grinding.

Our 80's Soapstone cookware is meticulously crafted using the highest quality stone, offering the right density and structure. With a higher content of calcium, it's durable and free from artificial colors. These traditional cookware pieces are brought to you from the skilled artisans of Uthukuli Stone, Tamil Nadu, and ensure their quality and authenticity.

This traditional cookware seamlessly fits into the modern kitchen, offering versatility for soft pounding and grinding (due to normal wear and tear). While it's not suitable for pounding very hard food items, the mortar and pestle have been cherished kitchen tools in various cultures for generations. From powdering spices to creating exquisite pesto sauces, they are remarkably versatile, with variations found in Italy, Thailand, India, Mexico, and beyond.
