Question 1

What is this small teak mortar suitable for?

Accepted Answer

The small teak mortar is primarily recommended for grinding spices (cumin, pepper, coriander, cloves), dried herbs, and seeds. It is comfortable for grinding a single-serving portion of freshly ground spice. It is less suited to wet ingredients (e.g. garlic, ginger) than a stone mortar.

Question 2

How should the teak mortar be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

The teak mortar should be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent, then dried immediately and thoroughly. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Before first use, it is advisable to grind some dry rice in it without oil - this removes any residual wood dust from the manufacturing process.

Question 3

Why is teak wood good for kitchen tools?

Accepted Answer

Teak wood's natural oil content protects it from moisture, fungi, and bacteria. It does not crack, does not mould easily, and does not need regular oiling. This makes it exceptionally durable in kitchen conditions. Original teak (Jati wood) comes from Indonesia, where woodworking has a centuries-long tradition.
