• Backcountry Iron’s heavyweight cast iron pestle makes it as easy as the flick of a wrist to release flavors and oils in your spices. Recipes come to life when you use fresh spices, and the hefty cast iron makes for better pulverizing and crushing! This pestle measures 6.25 inches long and weighs 3 pounds.
• There are advantages to using a heavy cast iron pestle in the kitchen. Grinding, crushing, and combining spices, seeds, grains, or medicines is so easy. Let gravity do all the work! Also fantastic for wet ingredients like garlic, butter, fresh herbs, and olive oil. A mortar and pestle works perfectly as a molcajete and tejolote.
• Our artisan pestle is crafted to be aesthetically pleasing while still being a tool you can't live without. Cast iron beats granite, stone, marble, porcelain, stainless steel, or soapstone in weight, longevity, and beauty. You can even use it to grind pigments for paint or flowers and plants for holistic medicine.
• Use your pestle on nuts, seeds, and ginger root to make salad dressings, sauces, condiments, or compound butter, mustard, guacamole, pesto, salsa, chutneys and more. This spice pestle will help you crush everything from ingredients to pills. Pulverize medications for easy consumption, or help you hide them in your stubborn pet’s food. Just like the pharmacies use! Mix salves and balms for personal health.
