Porcelain mortars and pestles are versatile tools for grinding, crushing, and mixing solids into fine powders or pastes, essential in kitchens for spices (curry pastes, pesto, guacamole), pharmacies for compounding medicines (trituration), and labs for sample prep (chemicals, pigments, dental materials). Their non-porous, chemically resistant surface ensures purity, while the rough interior and pounding action release flavors better than blenders, preventing heat-induced oxidation and preserving potency.
