GRANDMA SHARK Mortar and Pestle Review
The GRANDMA SHARK Mortar and Pestle Set is only the third Mortar & Pestle set I have ever owned. Previously I have owned a wooden Mortar & Pestle and another smaller and lighter ceramic one. Both of these previous versions I used didn’t really stack up. The first ceramic Mortar & Pestle set I had was way to light and didn’t last long. The wooden one was as you would expect, light and well.. wooden and just split.
This time around I decided to push the boat out and go with a granite set. This was a little more expensive but I figured I would rather buy something that was going to stand the test of time unlike its predecessors.
Sturdiness
The first thing to note about this product is the sheer weight of the thing. Being granate this is a heavy bit of kit. This is no bad thing though and was what I was missing from the previous two versions I had. The Mortar is quite wide with very thick sides and sits quite low. This provides an excellent base and prevents any possibility that it may topple over. The outside width and depth of 6.5″ and 3″ respectively (5″ x 2.5″ inside)
The Pestle, or club as I like to call it, is also made of granite so is plenty heavy for all its future grinding activities. Both the inside of the Mortar and club end of the Pestle are rough and unfinished providing lots of grinding surface while the handle and exterior of the set are polished to a relatively high finish.
All in all this is a great bit of kitchen equipment, it grinds seeds such as Coriander, Nutmeg, Black Pepper and the like extremely well as well as wet mixes such as Salsa and is very easy to clean as it is so wide. The only negative I would add would be that the sides could be a touch higher, however, this is very minor and is only really an issue if you fill it right up.
In conclusion, if you don’t have one already, the GRANDMA SHARK Mortar and Pestle Set is a great bit of kit that is very solid and versatile and shoud last almost as long as you.

I really love the idea of this.
Definitely would pay the extra money and get one that would last going by this review as seems well worth the investment.
