The humble Mortar and Pestle dates back to 1550 BCE. As ancient as civilization itself, the world may have moved on to kitchen blenders but a good old session with the mortar and pestle makes for a far more rewarding exercise! The act of pounding any food material in a mortar and pestle releases its natural oils and results in a far more intense flavour.

This latest offering from P-TAL is designed with a longer pestle that allows for very different kinds of hand motions than that achieved by one that is shorter in length. 
One can use it easily for grinding spices or for medicinal purposes. The charming handcrafted body of this mortar-pestle from P-TAL is a telling sign that we are rediscovering the joy of using a mortar and pestle in the kitchen.

  • 1. Is it safe to crush or grind substances in this?
  • Ans. It is completely safe to use this mortar and pestle to grind spices since brass does not react with the dry spices.
  • 2. Does it tarnish?
  • Ans. Purity has its way of being visible. Pure silver turns black over time & pure brass also tarnishes. However, with proper and regular maintenance, you can keep it shiny!
  • Keeping sour/ acidic food in brass utensils for longer periods of time should be avoided as brass reacts with salt at a high temperatures. The existence of zinc in brass helps in purifying blood.

    frequently asked questions

    Can we cook sour items in brass and copper cookware utensils?

    You can absolutely cook anything and everything in brass and copper as long as they are tin coated. The tin coating not only makes it safe for cooking but also adds a lot of flavour to the food.

    Does tarnishing reduce the benefits of the metal?

    Tarnishing of metal is a sign of purity and in no way affects the quality or benefits it imparts.

    Can we use it on induction cooktop?

    No, these metals cannot be used on induction cooktops since these are non-magnetic

    Can we use copper for drinking warm water?

    It is ideally recommended to use copper for normal room temperature water.

    How long does the tin coating (kalai) last on cookware utensils?

    The tin coating usually lasts for around 10-12 months on an average, depending on proper usage of the utensils and maintenance of tin.

    hacks to shine

    Maintain the shine

    P-TAL utensils can be cleaned just like your other utensils. For bringing back the shine, follow the steps mentioned below:

    02

    Apply some Pitambari powder and scrub on all parts of the wet vessel.

    03

    If you don’t have Pitambari, use a mixture of 1 bowl of wheat flour (atta), 1 spoon of salt and 2-3 spoons of vinegar.

    04

    Rinse off the Pitambari or your home-made paste with water and wipe off any excess moisture.

    your vessel will now shine like it’s brand new!
    And voila!, your vessel will now shine like it’s brand new!
