Kuhn Rikon Mortar & Pestle- 05.05.09
This beautiful Kuhn Rikon Mortar & Pestle showed up amidst the kitchen construction ~ and it is STUNNING! Also, swiss made, designed by Swiss Designer/Chef Philipp Beyeler, multipurpose and made of porcelain and bamboo! Not only does the porcelain bowl (for grinding) fit beautifully into the bamboo base (for crushing nuts and harder foods) ~ but i’m just such a sucker for porcelain/woody-bamboo combinations! And on brilliant details… the tear drop shaped hole in the handle isn’t merely for aesthetic purposes, it also doubles as a tool for “defoliating stems”.
See the many pics of the beautiful details up close on the next page!
I’m with Gassam here, it sure it pretty, but it’s not for heavy duty use. You’re better off buying the traditional ones cut from a block of granite.
