Fox Run Mortar and Pestle, Stainless Steel

Worked great fro crushing the pills I need to feed to my dog each day. Easy to wipe clean. No need to stick in a dishwasher which many people said was a problem on many mortars because the glued on bases would come off. Don't know about this one but great for my purposes.

This is one of the rare mortar & pestle sets with a FLAT surface to crush things, which can be very helpful. Also VERY well made, and a good price. Very happy with this buy.

This is a very nice stainless steel mortar and pestal. The only improvements I could say that it could use is to possibly be a little bit heavier.Obviously, since It is stainless steel it does not work in the same manner as a ceramic or stone product

the rubber gasket was already broken when I opened it this morning other than that it is well made.

The steel portion seems solid, but the plastic base fell off as soon as I pulled it out of the package, revealing sharp edges and uncleaned/unfinished metal. I dont see any evidence that it was ever actually glued on, and only sits loosely on the bottom.

I question what type of stainless steel this is made of (e.g., 18/10, 18/8, etc.), as it imparts a metallic flavor, especially if you put anything warm/hot into it.
