UsageBefore First Use: For initial cleaning, thoroughly grind coarse salt or a handful of rice – this removes any potential production residues. Repeat if necessary. Usage: Place the mortar on a non-slip, stable surface to prevent movement. Fill the mortar no more than halfway for consistent grinding results. Hold the pestle securely and apply steady, even pressure to avoid injuries. Cleaning: Rinse the mortar and pestle with warm water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents to protect the granite surface and prevent absorption. Dry both parts thoroughly and let the mortar sit for a while to ensure it fully dries out.
