This 'High-Quality' Granite Mortar and Pestle Set Is Beautiful, Functional, and on Sale

Nothing says summer quite like fresh bowls of hearty salsa and creamy guacamole. Everyone has their own approach to whipping up these dishes, but no matter how you mash it, there's no denying a mortar and pestle is a handy tool to have for the task. Lucky for novice chefs and pros alike, one of Amazon's top-selling sets with more than 3,300 five-star ratings is discounted right now through an exclusive code for Allrecipes readers.

The HiCoup Mortar and Pestle Set is an all purpose kitchen tool that can be used for grinding up herbs, mashing nuts, seeds, ginger, and garlic, pulverizing fruits like avocados, and pounding seasonings into oblivion. Each granite set comes with two pestles and one bowl in your choice of a smaller, 2-cup size or larger, 4-cup capacity. Both mortars feature a smooth exterior and a rougher interior bowl to help break down ingredients to your desired texture and consistency. The stone naturally avoids taking on the odors or colors of anything you mash inside of it and cleans up easily with a rinse in the sink.

Both sets are currently on sale but you can get an extra 20 percent off with an exclusive Allrecipes code. Enter RECIPIES20 for the smaller set or 20RECIPIES for the larger set now through Sunday, May 1. Plus, there's a clickable coupon for another $2 off the 2-cup set or $5 off the 4-cup set for an even bigger discount.

Others said it's worth the purchase whether you plan to simply leave it out as decor or put it to work, and one particularly poignant reviewer wrote that the mortar and pestle is "both beautiful to behold, almost like a sculpture hewn from granite," and said it will "satisfy all your pulverizing culinary needs." And a third mentioned that the set makes an "absolutely beautiful" gift.
