Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Octagonal Capsule-Shaped Large Stone Mortar & Pestle. Crafted from high-quality granite, this tool is designed for durability and efficiency in grinding herbs, spices, and other ingredients.

• Cleaning After Use After each use, rinse the mortar and pestle thoroughly with warm water to remove any residual ingredients. Avoid using soap or detergent, as these can leave unwanted residues that may affect the flavor of your next use. Instead, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the surfaces. For stubborn residues, a soft brush can be employed to gently scrub the interior.

• Drying and Storage After cleaning, dry the mortar and pestle completely with a soft cloth to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold or mildew. Ensure that both the interior and exterior are thoroughly dried before storing. Store the mortar and pestle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its integrity and prevent any potential damage.

• Seasoning the Mortar and Pestle Before its first use, it's advisable to season the mortar and pestle to remove any stone dust and to create a rougher surface for grinding. To do this, grind a small amount of dry rice in the mortar until it turns into powder. This process helps clean the surface and prepares it for grinding herbs and spices.

• Avoiding Staining Granite is prone to staining when exposed to acidic and oily foods. To minimize staining, rinse the mortar and pestle immediately after use. If staining occurs, a paste made from baking soda and water can be applied to the stained area, left for 15-30 minutes, and then rinsed thoroughly.

• Regular Inspection Periodically inspect your mortar and pestle for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any cracks or chips, discontinue use to prevent further damage. Regular maintenance will ensure that your mortar and pestle remains a reliable tool in your kitchen for years to come.

By following these care and maintenance guidelines, you can preserve the functionality and appearance of your Octagonal Capsule-Shaped Large Stone Mortar & Pestle, ensuring it continues to serve you effectively in your culinary endeavors.
