The KROK Mortar and Pestle is made in small batches and requires 3 days of craftsmanship. Each KROK is handcrafted by artisans in Thailand, who have been hand carving natural granite in the Ang Sila village for generations.
Why KROK will be your favorite Mortar and Pestle:
-
Perfect Size: Large enough to use for any recipe, but small and light enough to use for everyday cooking.
-
Light & Sturdy: Our unique design creates an optimal balance between light weight and sturdiness. This makes the KROK easy to use and easy to clean.
- Quality Granite: We use the highest quality Thai granite, guaranteeing lifetime durability.
- Anti-Scratch: The cork base keeps the mortar from slipping or scratching your countertop.
- Noise Reduction: The cork naturally reduces the noise transmission as you pound.
Your KROK Mortar and Pestle comes packaged with the cork base and a traditional Thai scraping spoon. The spoon is perfect for removing ingredients, cleaning off the pestle, and even measuring (volume is 1½ tbsp).
As an ancient cooking tool used for thousands of years, nothing beats the mortar and pestle for crushing, grinding, and powdering. KROK is the perfect kitchen tool for making authentic pesto, guacamole, marinades, dry rubs, chimichurri, hummus, aioli, salad dressings, and spice blends from scratch. Get your own KROK and release the full flavor of your herbs and spices!

How long does shipping take?
KROK orders are shipped in batches directly from Thailand. Depending on your location, our express air delivery takes between 3 - 7 business days. You will receive a tracking number to track your package.
Are the materials safe to use with food?
We use the highest quality Thai granite which is one of the strongest stones in the world. Before cooking with the mortar and pestle we recommend conditioning the granite surface to make sure it is even and safe to use. We provide clear guidelines to do so.
The cork base is impermeable. Cork trees produce Suberin which is a substance that makes cork resistant to the passage of moisture and formation of mold or rot.
