## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a lid that can be purchased for this?**
A: Not that I know of.

**Q: Is this really covered with paint? Is this the best cast iron kettle for witchcraft?**
A: Hi, this product is not covered in paint but is seasoned with food grade cooking oil that creates the black finish.  Bare cast iron is almost silver in color and rusts very quickly.  The seasoning process is identical to all of our cookware.  Yes this is a great product for what you are looking for :)

**Q: Can you use ths to crush resin pieces?**
A: It is very heavy duty. I hope that answers your questions.

**Q: How do you clean it?**
A: Like you would clean any other cast iron product.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very effective.
*by L***E on February 1, 2025*

Love it! I have a porcelain mortar and pestle that takes a lot of work. This cast iron one though grinds everything with just a couple of hits. The only drawback is that it tips over if stored as pictured. I take the grinder portion out when I put it on the counter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a Handy Tool
*by J***N on February 25, 2023*

The weight of both the mortar and pestle is substantial enough so that it makes it easier to use especially if you have a large quantity to pulverize. The pestle is heavy enough you don't need to use as much arm strength. To clean good it would help to have a brush but a sponge will work fine. It is cast iron and doesn't need to be seasoned unless you plan to cook with it (a little small for cooking anything in). Could be used for dips.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great set w/large, very heavy pestle, mortar could be a bit larger & more robust
*by S***U on April 10, 2023*

I've been looking at mortar and pestle sets and decided to focus on cast iron, but so many of them seem to be very tiny. I wanted something large enough for sauces. I actually ran across the pestle from this set sold separately and I was impressed! It was so much larger and heavier than anything else I had seen, and it seemed perfect for my purposes. I was wondering if I would be able to find a mortar to go with it. And then, lo and behold, I found this set! I'm very happy with it as the capacity is at least twice as large as other sets I had viewed. The pestle is absolutely gorgeous. The mortar is really nice, too -- it looks great and the cast iron seems to be of very good quality. However, it does seem rather small and lightly constructed in comparison with the truly massive pestle. The sides are base are rather thin for the intended purpose. If I let the pestle lean toward one of the three legs, the empty mortar is a bit tippy. I just make sure to lean the pestle against the side of the mortar about mid-way between two legs. This isn't a problem when I'm using it, as I am holding the mortar with one hand and using the pestle with the other. That said, this is definitely the best cast iron mortar and pestle I have found and the weight of the pestle makes short work of grinding spices or making salsa. It fits perfectly in my hand. The set is a bit pricey, but worth it. 5 stars for the pestle, 3 for the mortar, so 4 stars...
