I bought myself a granite mortar and pestle this week.
Ive been wanting one for a while, and finally gave in and got one.
It is one of the larger ones, and pretty heavy. (3 cup capacity, 5 1/2" inside diameter, 8" pestle)
So far, I have used it to grind all my resin incenses into a powder form.
It almost wasn't even work grinding them all up.
This will definitely make it much easier to measure and mix them.
After grinding, I wiped down both parts with a damp towel, to get rid of the loose powder left on them.
I then realized that some of the resins are smushed/ground/stuck to both pieces.
I did a quick internet search, and used the "dry rice grinding method" to clean them with.
This did a pretty good job of getting rid of ALMOST all of the resins.
My question is.... Is there a better/easier way to clean a mortar and pestle?
Or at least, what do you do to clean yours? (if you have one)
