Jamie Oliver talks you through using a pestle and mortar

[@allenlucero3095]

Love how everything is flying everywhere. First time used it yesterday such a stress reliever.

[@picvan]

You know he gets made fun of a lot but from what I remember of his show he usually gets to the point rather quickly and I still use some of his recipes. Thanks for the demo bro.

[@porkulate]

It is such a joy to see someone practicing their craft who really does enjoy what he does and is ready, willing and enthusiastic about conveying and imparting his knowledge and expertise to his audience. Bravo Jamie Oliver! I just ordered a GIANT granite mortar and pestle today from a Thai import company and I can't wait to get started in my kitchen! Thanks for the demonstration Jamie. I wish my satellite provider still carried one or more of your shows. You are a true delight to behold indeed!

[@missmya3972]

I just purchased one last night and used it for the first time... I was making spring rolls and made an awesome chili garlic sauce... it was wonderful!! I think I'm going to use it alot!

[@WR3ND]

He's in way too much of a rush here. Must work in a kitchen or something. Also, more crushing and less hammering in the bashing. The pestle shouldn't have that much air time. You can get a lot more control and less mess than what he's doing here with a little practice. He's got great enthusiasm here though, maybe getting people over their cooking intimidation, or something.

[@maddiemoskala7254]

cs512tr I’m glad he showed it. Life is like that. Most delicious meals come from a busy messy kitchen.

[@Tanzerdragoon]

This was a video I didn't know I needed to watch~ My ex roommate got mad at me once for using her mortar and pestle wrong, but actually, she was only using one method, the muddling and grinding, and I was using a method my mom taught me, the pounding. So she was only half right, and I was right. Go figure, use both techniques!

[@zerocalvin]

my grandma teaches me how to use this long time ago... and by watching this video, i just realize how to make a very simple mint dressing for lamb chop..

[@benbrown8258]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your video. In Twilight sleep this morning I was wondering if I could replace my blender with a mortar and pestle. Your video is a fantastic confirmation it can be done. You rock!

[@christineyuen7268]

Very clear explanations. Thanks for sharing.

[@sunmoonmnusa]

Awesome - thanks Jamie! Appreciate the tip about holding your hand over the bowl or using a towel - I've always gently come down and crushed to avoid the popping - rather than bashing. Nice! I have a granite mortar and pestle, but just purchased a molcajete - came across your video when looking for recipes for the molcajete. Thanks for all you do, keep up the great work you do!

[@ivorybow]

Thank you Jamie. I just purchased a black granite M&P especially for spices for Indian food. Now I know what to do.

[@Eldagusto]

Just got my first mortar and pestle thanks for the informative video!

[@porkulate]

In my humble opinion it does. A granite mortar has a more abrasive and a harder, less porous surface so it will be better suited for grinding whole spices and it will retain less of a hint of what you have ground up in prior sessions. It is also significantly more durable and can last for generations with proper handling. If you have a choice, I would go with the granite mortar and pestle combination or at the very least one made of marble with an unpolished interior. Happy Cooking Iron Man!

[@JeffM---]

Thanks Jamie, I just bought my first one today, the Jamie Oliver one. Looking forward to new flavours in my food!

Have you used with black garlic? It not only can enhance different herbs, spices, etc. it infuses a wonderful flavor into the oil: it takes 2=3 weeks to make black garlic, but well worth the effort. Just try to make enough to get through a few weeks at a time so can start a new batch. Also you can make flavored oils. It works very well in pestle and mortar, especially when infusing them in oil.

[@hashnotall6263]

Remember, cheap stone mortar and pestles often shed material into your food. Look at teeth from the stone age. They are small nubs, ground down from coarse sand in their flour. There is no way to remove it either. The solution is to not buy cheaply mass produced imported ones, but get it from someone you know and trust who can make stone mortars, or better yet, poured brass mortars.

[@marcosmacoeove5915]

[@matthewrs7]

I got a President's Choice (PC) Granite Mortar and Pestle. The instructions say to wash with soapy water, but I hear people say soap will absorb into it. I will do the rice method to hopefully stop the powder granite issue. However, when people talk about seasoning your mortar and pestle with certain spices and seasonings, wouldn't that be a bad thing? What if you are crushing something that you don't want previous flavors of getting onto your next batch?

[@skeleton_wa_migraine1736]

I heard to "season" your motor by grinding white rice to absorb previous flavors and to prime it before your first use. I suppose you could also dedicate one for strong flavored spices [garlic, onion]. Up to you.

Using this right now to crush my malt for brewing beer. It became one hard block because I've got it for a while but haven't used it. I was doing it al wrong too it seems. I was just turning the pestle against the side of the mortar and spinning the mortar around as I went along. XD

Thanks. I am trying to grind organic thyme to take medicinally (put in capsules) but I cant get it to go to powder. I think that I have to do what he did and hopefully that works! -Going to try, anyway. : ) And even if it doesn't, it sure smells nice crushing it and surely it's making it more potent, even though it's dried!

[@aldenheterodyne2833]

I was crushing some dried peppermint from the garden into an old spice bottle using a chopstick and I'm like "wait, is this what a mortar and pestle is for?" Yes. Yes it is. I have some dried nettles that I want to crush into a fine powder. I'm trying to learn how to cook with angry-spinach. I'm thinking that I may want to buy myself a mortar and pestle. I could use a food processor, but that doesn't really crush stuff and make fine powders. Took two generous handfuls of dried mint and made maybe two tablespoons. No wonder people store food this way, it's a very efficient way to keep a lot of food.

[@Wasabi35209]

We normally use it to make chilli paste such as red or green curry paste in Thailand

[@kalimakahikina6975]

[@peterchan6082]

One thing that has always been worrying me about mortars & pestles . . . While grinding the ingredients won’t the pestle inevitably grind against the interior surface of the mortar leaving fine dust of the granite/marble (or whatever material making the mortar/pestle) to infiltrate into the ingredients?

[@BSFilms1997]

Peter Chan I think there’s wood pestles out there made by an Italian on Etsy. You could probably buy one of those and not worry about wearing away your mortar since the wood is much softer than stone.

[@SunshineCountryChickens]

Good for the bones and teeth

[@caspahausa5084]

how do I clean the pestle and mortar? specialy after using oily stuff. my is made of stone and the surface is pretty raw, so I only use dryed stuff like pepper, cumin seeds, etc.. cause i'm afraid of ruin it by maken a pesto in it or crushing peanuts or so.

[@opusxpn]

Granite and marble dont absorb anything you can use with whatever you want; just rinse scrub and dry.

[@jdflyhi]

[@CarbonConscious]

Any difference between a wood and granite one in how you use it?

[@gradydyck3684]

Granite's heavier and will stay put, whereas a wooden one you'll be chasing all over the work surface.

Get the stone. I got mine at the Asian store for very little.

[@walterloveshim725]

What about marble?

[@gradydyck3684]

Mable is my preference. Still heavy enough to get work done, nice to look at, and easier to clean since it's not as porous as granite.

Marble is good but gets stained with turmeric. So I had to get a granite one.

I think it would be good to add the basic value of using the mortar & pestle... ...Making your own spice mixture (for example) from whole spices (whole seeds) is 100 times better/tastier than using purchased powdered spices or powdered spice mixes.
