This small mortar and pestle is sized for quick jobs at the stove, crushing a pinch of peppercorns, cumin seeds or dried chilli flakes straight into whatever you're cooking. It's also useful for grinding a single clove of garlic into a paste, or making a small batch of dukkah or spice rub without dragging out a full-size mortar and pestle.
Made by Wilkie Brothers from new bone porcelain, it measures 7cm across and is lightweight but strong enough for everyday grinding of spices, seeds and small herb leaves. The smooth glazed bowl is easy to wipe out between uses, and it's dishwasher, freezer and oven safe, so it fits into more than one job around the kitchen. Being small and light, it's just as easy to keep in a spice drawer as it is to store on the bench, and the glazed porcelain won't hold onto smells or stains the way a wooden mortar can.
