Marble mortar and pestles are preferred by many chefs because they are nonporous and will not absorb odors from the foods they crush. Very often, when you purchase a marble mortar and pestle that is all you get. Neither the box nor an instruction booklet tells you clean the mortar and pestle after use. Luckily, marble mortar and pestles are very simple to clean. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
Dry Ingredients
1. Use a damp sponge to wipe away spice residue between grindings. Dry thoroughly before grinding the next dry spice.
2. Wash the mortar and pestle in hot, soapy water if a damp sponge doesn't remove the dry spice residue. Use a stiff brush to remove any spice that may cling to the grinding end of the pestle.
3. Allow the mortar and pestle to air dry before putting it away in the cabinet.
Wet Ingredients
4. Remove the wet ingredients from the mortar as soon as they have been ground to the desired consistency.
5. Wash the mortar and pestle with hot, soapy water as soon as possible. Use the stiff brush to remove any ingredients that are sticking to the sides of the mortar or the end of the pestle.
6. Air dry and store until needed.
