Superbe!

Mortier et pilon en granit de trs grande qualit. Lourd, et stable, trs bien construit, et permet de broyer des aliments avec facilit. Je l'adore!
J'en prpar longuement la surface, afin d'enlever tout rsidu de pierre ou poudre de granit qui pourrait contaminer les aliments broys. J'ai fait cela sans utiliser de riz ou de sel, mais en frottant longuement (entre une et 2 heures, cumulativement) le pilon sur la surface du bol en y ajoutant un peu d'eau. C'est plus efficace et la petite quantit d'eau (5-10mL) ajoute permet de visualiser l'ablation de poudre de pierre.
