# Get a Mortar and Pestle
|

Mortars and pestles are tools which have unfortunely been nearly forgotten in modern American kitchens, but they
|
||
|
|
have been around since the stone age for a reason.
|
||
|
|
They are one of the most useful appliances and require no electricity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They easily smash garlic, nuts and other things (also automatically removes skins).
|
||
|
|
This is much better than simple slicing because it squeezes out the juices and tastes of things.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also easily make paste (like pesto) and out of herbs and other simple ingredients.
|
||
|
|
Many people use a hard-to-clean and expensive electronic food processor to do things like this,
|
||
|
|
but a larger mortar and pestle could get the job done just as easily.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do not get procelain mortar and pestles; they are non-functional and loud.

I have two granite ones which work very well (see pic above).
