Absolutely! While a mortar and pestle is commonly used for grinding herbs, it can also be used to grind spices, nuts, seeds, and even certain grains. Just make sure to clean it thoroughly between different ingredients to avoid cross-contamination of flavors.
It depends on the material of your mortar and pestle. Some materials, like granite and marble, are naturally non-porous and don't require seasoning. However, if you have a mortar and pestle made from porous materials like lava stone or clay, it's recommended to season it before the first use. Follow the manufacturer's instructions or rub the interior surfaces with rice and discard it to remove any loose particles.
We do not recommend using your Sur La Table mortar and pestle for crushing medications. It's important to keep your kitchen tools separate from those used for medicinal purposes to avoid any potential cross-contamination. It's best to consult with a pharmacist or healthcare professional for guidance on proper medication preparation.
