Thai Chef's Guide to the Mortar and Pestle

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hey everyone! A quick note to clarify that this discussion pertains only to Thai mortar and pestles, and not molcajete, Indonesian cobek, or other kinds. Hope you enjoy the video!

[@SanJacintoArtGuild]

You might want to pin this one to the top of the comments.

[@joseapar]

Much of what you discussed does carry over. Obviously the material will affect the care instructions but that goes without saying but folks should follow the care instructions of whatever kind of mortar and pestle they purchase.

[@dragonwolf2370]

Qn: how do we use black fungus thin strips from asian grocery store?

[@bigoof9486]

@dragonwolf2370 soak in water. If it's thin I would recommend for at least 30 min. Many of us leave for an hour or overnight. Cut them up with scissors after draining. Typically thai people use them for eggrolls or noodle salads. But they're great for soups and dumplings

[@ShawnPatton-rm2hv]

I used the mortar and pestle today for peanuts for your delicious pad Thai recipe. Sooo good!

[@n.sykes.pharmd]

I'm a pharmacist, so I looove using a mortar and pestle in the kitchen!

[@GabrielRDLGabi]

Me too. Love my job and all the links directly to the kitchen.

[@suzaynnschick158]

A wooden mortar and pestle was the very first piece of kitchen gear I bought, 40 years ago. I was thrilled when I could afford a good 3 cup granite mortar and pestle last year. I call it my stone-age food processor and love it for all the reasons you named.

[@lemonz1769]

Growing up in Burma my mom always pounded every spice and aromatic she cooked with. Now living in the US I’m often lazy to pound things and resort to a blender, chopper or processor. I don’t know why but pounding the ingredients makes the flavor so much better. I didn’t want to believe it but it’s true!

[@gemneye3545]

I read the crushing process involved when using this item, releases oils that enhance the flavor basically.

[@joshevans5127]

I always like to grind a few tablespoons of kosher salt to clean and "re-season" after grinding spices or other dry things. This picks up lots of the oils and micro-fines of the spices, plus you get a delicious fine salt that's flavored by the spices you just ground. Just ground white pepper, cumin & coriander for Thai chicken? Grind up some salt, add MSG and chicken powder and congrats, you have Thai chicken salt (plus a pretty clean mortar & pestle that you didn't have to get wet/dry).

[@chibigirl8545]

Grinding kosher salt in a spice grinder from time to time helps clean it out too

[@jessicabaker1274]

TA-DA! 😋

[@GamingFoodie]

As someone who has chronic pain and sometimes cannot even chop my food, having something that is high quality but made lighter is next to impossible to find. Replacing the bottom with cork is a great idea.

[@chris210352]

I have had a stone mortar and pestle since 1971. Love mine!

[@joseapar]

As a mexican-american our kitchens too use mortar and pestles significantly. The blender has taken its place in most modern kitchens, but there are just some dishes that are better with the mortar and pestle. My mom's was made by her dad from mexican volcanic rock and its her priced possession. I only have a small light one due to space but love the look of the krok.

[@erdyantodwinugrohozheng]

Hello, Pailin. Actually we have mortar and pestle in Indonesia for everything. So, In Indonesia, mortar and pestle is called "Cobek and Ulekan (Cobek is mortar and Ulekan is pestle)". There are 2 common types of mortar and pestle in Indonesia. First, it's like yours which is half-rounded shape. And the second, the mortar is shaped like a dish or deep saucer (flat-surfaced). It's very common in not only grinding and pounding, but also mixing with the other ingredients, such as gado-gado and pecel, the Indonesian salads that requires flat-surfaced mortar and pestle. So, not only grinding and pounding for making the sauce, yet also mixing the other ingredients, for example: vegetables. Many Indonesian street vendors do this directly. So, that's my explanation.....

[@jessicabaker1274]

Y'all have AMAZING food ❤🤗 and beautiful ladies 😊 I wish we dressed like that over here, even if only for special occasions. Just absolutely lovely 😊

[@Becausing]

That Lao mortar and pestle in the background, waiting patiently for her turn: 👁️𓋒👁️

[@foggyvhs8790]

Too bad I'm seeing this after Christmas, feels like a good gift for anyone that no one has!

[@kerryf9796]

My mom's cousin knew I loved to cook and when we moved into our new house 10 years ago, he bought me a beautiful granite mortar and pestle (2 cup size). It's become one of my prized possessions and it proudly sits on my counter. I love using it!

[@WhatsInAName222]

I purchased the Krok after watching your videos. I really like it.

[@VicBattlefield]

🤣"Chili landmines" were my favorite! Another informative and very useful video, Khun Pai!🙏

[@Peter-cm8vi]

I needed the Krok mortar/pestle last week when I had to transport my "3 cup beast" over to a friends house for a Thai cook up. It looks like a real winner.

[@368chen]

Just purchased Krok and it is absolutely gorgeous. The cork stand was a little difficult to assemble, but my husband finally got it on there. Not sure if it would come off now when I need to wash it. Excited to use it soon!

[@MartinDoudoroffLLC]

Just got my Krok and seasoned it. What a thoroughly nice product!

[@lesleygoodman6986]

I got my Krok mortar and pestle. I’m so excited! The shipping was super quick. thank you so much for all you do in keeping us educated and being our best selves in the kitchen!

[@bacca71]

Excellent, succinct presentation of Thai style mortar and pestle use and selection. Can attest that good Thai mortar and pestles last forever. Worked in Thailand many years ago. Before leaving to return to the states, I bought a large, high-quality granite from a mortar/pestle 'factory' in Chon Buri, and earlier an Isarn version made of clay (for 'sum tam' only) bought in Udorn. I've been using both for 37 years and they are both functioning well.

[@CynthiaMeyers-c6i]

Just received my Krock mortar and pestle for Christmas. Very excited to use it. Love your channel, you make Thai cooking so very easy! And your KZbin video on how to shop at an Asian grocery store was fabulous. I have been so intimidated to shop at an Asian market but again you made it easy to go shop with confidence. Thank you!

[@oldgeek29577]

I finally broke down and ordered the Krok, thanks for the discount code! I am not much of a cook but I love Thai food so much I am trying to learn how to cook it. Hopefully this mortar & pestle will make my attempts taste better LOL!

[@donalddevitt3766]

You are informative, concise, well groomed, well spoken, all with a great energy! Thank you for being you!!

[@LucRancourt-ec4bu]

I love my Krok, it's more than the Best and perfect mortar, it's also a beautiful Thai handcraft art on the counter and it cames in a really safety box, enjoy and do not hesitate to buy this incredible kitchen tool

[@josephkass477]

J Kenji Lopez Alt gives a good explanation of why spices and foods are often more flavorful when ground in a mortal and pestle compared to when blended - foods (and all living things) are made of tiny compartments called cells. Much like a shipyard containing lots of storage containers with goods inside them. When we chop things up with a knife or a blender, we are separating the containers, however, when we use a mortar and pestle we are crushing the containers and releasing all their contents, much like if godzilla were to come by and step on all of the shipping containers, spilling their contents everywhere.

[@stevenscott1001]

I regularly use the same set-up as you. I make a lot of papaya salad, as we have about a dozen trees on our farm and they are producing a lot of fruit. The point you made about small amounts not working in a blender or spice grinder is very important especially with small amounts of seeds that need breaking up. I bought a few granite pestle and mortars actually in Chonburi the last time I passed by there a few years ago, I like the craft stalls in Thailand and I want to support the locals where possible to keep the craft going into the future. The granite pestle and mortars have a certain ancient kind of charm for the kitchen, useful too.

[@SidestepTheQuestion]

I just ordered this. I've been so sick of my too-small marble one! Also, your Prik Nam Pla receipe is now a staple in my refrigerator!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Wonderful! So glad to hear!

[@Jaw656]

Love my 2-cup and I'm able to make a reasonable amount of pesto in it. If I ever need a 3 cup I would definitely consider the Krok!

[@legadillo]

You’re absolutely right! My blender never gets that little bit of spice! And my mortar and pestle glares at me when I use the blender. No more! Thank you!

[@deptofcarstereorepair]

Thanks for this, it was very helpful, I always wanted to try out mortar n pestle but didn't know what to get

[@jirawanthongyoo8658]

Krok is perfect fit for my kitchen.

[@SanJacintoArtGuild]

I am in the market for a granite morter and pestle. Thanks for such an informative video!

[@dadarmwn]

our mortar and pestle in Indonesia mostly made of andesite or volcanic rocks which more porous. we need to season the before the first use. some people suggest soaking the mortar and pestle in water for 24 hours, give it a good rinse, and grind some grated coconut or rock salt in it.

[@dadarmwn]

my mom prefer to use a stone mortar and a wooden pestle

[@JoeyR1210]

I ordered a KROK mortar and pestle after watching this which finally arrived. It’s amazing and an ideal size. The cork base is a huge bonus! Thank you not only for the video but for introducing me to krok! ❤❤❤

[@BradKempeny]

I think people confuse a traditional Molcajete with a standard mortar and pestle. Molcajete is the Spanish word for mortar and pestle but they are traditionally made out of volcanic rock. Due to the porous nature it is definitely recommended that you season a Molcajete before using it.

[@Imthebrownunicorn]

Yes this

[@FIA-zi4fz]

She’s been chewing on rox 🤣😂😂🤣😂

[@helenelevesque2974]

Used a molcajete during my whole life - more than 50 years - and never bothered "seasoning" it. Absolutely unnecessary.

[@mariadelwhat]

Molcajete is the mexican word for mortar. The spanish word is mortero for mortar and maja for pestle :)

[@TheLippythelion69]

@@helenelevesque2974I've used them and matates after I never seasoned mine. Just use little whisk brush to remove food! But then I broke down and seasoned a new one ( bigger) I would recommend doing it. But it's not necessary

[@martinhill486]

Love my Krok, have not yet taken the thai curry paste dive but the garlic trick alone has kept it on the counter. Szechuan peppercorns, regular peppercorns for steak au poivre both have passed through it several times now. Am a pretty fit in my 60's guy and the weight is not a problem.

[@krokcraft]

So glad to hear! 🙂

[@dennispovloski8102]

The cork base seems like a genius idea. Do you feel about about the durability of the cork?

[@neilmartin8143]

Agree with the weight problem. Always think I am going to drop the 3 cup one I have on my toes, plus hate getting it out. Ordered the KROK just now and looking forward to using it. Thanks as always for great advice. Cheers

[@lyledahlberg288]

You are the best. I don’t Tire watching your programs. Keep up the good work.

[@drd8251]

I’ve had a smaller molcajete for a while and use it to grind cumin seeds and black pepper corns because, like you said, doing so brings out way more flavor than using pre-ground versions of the same spice. Your video has shown me many more uses for this kitchen tool than I thought possible. Since garlic is in most recipes I make, your tip on preparing it will be my next kitchen adventure. Thanks!

[@krokcraft]

One of the mortars looks stunning (but we might be a bit biased)! 👀 Great job on the comparisons, Pailin, and thanks for the love! 🙏

[@lemonz1769]

Those enameled spoons are super cute too!!

[@krokcraft]

@@lemonz1769 they're a staple in Thai households :)

[@PolineChan]

1. When things are dry you need to do both pounding and grinding for maximum effectiveness. 2. size does matter, and you'll be last on the list she will work with if it's small.

[@isabelab6851]

Thank you. This is so helpful. I have wooden ones for garlic and soft herbs; used in my Puerto Rican cooking. I have been wanting a large molcajete. This is very helpful. This is on my wish list…and maybe I need sooner than that!

[@ilenetyler5901]

I just bought a Krok for my granddaughter who is a budding Thai chef and will love the lighter weight and larger size than the stone version they already had on the counter. I would buy one for me, too, but I'm loyal to the ceramic version I bought 50+ years ago at a pharmacy.

[@krokcraft]

what a great gift :) thank you

[@charlescole-p9v]

Your advise and explanations are always top notch. I am a way better cook because of your videos. Thanks

[@arkadyles4597]

I trust this video because Pai is wearing the same outfit as in Sabai cookbook cover in the background and the clay mortar from the cookbook cover was featured as well :)

[@nbnb53]

I love my Krok!! Bought it last year and it's been a game changer in our kitchen.

[@ryanarmishaw3305]

Thank you for another great video. I just bought a Krok and then bought your cookbook on Amazon. I've been watching for years - the purchases were long overdue. I love your channel, and my family loves the food. Keep up the amazing work! Much love from another Canadian.

[@BatPotatoes]

You convinced me to try one out. I can't stand chopping nuts on a cutting board for baking recipes. I think this will also be a great way to stop putting whole cloves and allspice through my poor coffee hand grinder. I'm just hoping I'll be able to grind things like fall spices without the granite getting a little nostalgic for the garlic from the previous night

[@KatarinaS.]

That's my biggest concern, everything tasting like garlic or the last thing you ground in it. I assume the stone is porous and washing wouldn't be enough to deodorize the aromatic that are absorbed. She says washing it is enough, no special cleaning needed, but is that really sufficient when going from garlic or cumin to something like nuts, seeds, or spices to be used in a sweet dish?

[@davidhalldurham]

Excellent video! As a hobbyist mustard-maker, I find a three-cup mortar and pestle to be indispensable. When I used a blender or food processor, the mustard seeds just went round and round in a circle. 🙄

[@marydiesch]

Future me thanks you from the bottom of my heart for the sesame seed grinding tip

[@lukewilson6132]

I've been looking into this for a while and I recently acquired a molcajete and spent more time than I should have grinding rice into it. This explanation makes so much sense. Thank you for this video.

[@DasHemdchen]

So eloquently helpful! I like to use pestle and mortar for aromatising cumin and other hard spices, gently crush nuts, but I learned today that I might also use it in the future to prepare my chilis and garlic. I love your videos, because you‘re able to elaborate on seemingly easy things and cover all aspects.👍

[@sophiev1900]

Wooohoo!!! First time being first! More importantly I’ve needed this video in my life for so long. I hate the one I have but don’t know which one I actually need. So thanks in advance for this video!!

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

When I make any dish requiring black pepper, I use my mortar and pestle. Add a bit of Szechuan pepper corns, and you have the BEST pepper beef dish ever.

Mahalo for the information. I recently moved back to Hawaii not allot great Thai restaurants on the Big Island and I'm in the country so I decided to buy a few mortar to make my own Thai dishes.

One of my most prized possessions is a Thai clay mortar and wooden pestle set that I purchased 20 years ago when I moved away for school.

[@bopetbosap]

My mom's most prized kitchen possession is a Lao-style clay krok she bought to Canada more than 30 years ago, still made of the brown clay instead of the orange terra cotta that is so much lower quality. If I ever break her favourite krok, she might break me. I've had an orange krok break on me before just pounding peppercorns so I totally agree that those ones should be limited to salads and sauces with wet ingredients - Thai-style krok is best for grinding spices for sure!

[@lemonz1769]

I’m Burmese and want a Lao style krok so bad. I have the commonly available clay one that has thicker sides but I see there is a version with thinner sides and larger inside. I can’t find them anywhere online 😢. I need to visit a city with some good Lao stores!

[@bobjacobs1333]

I've owned a good granite mortar and pestle for years that I bought in a tiny NY Chinatown market. I love using it for breaking open cardamom pods and then crushing the seeds. Great in Indian curries.

[@nyshanelson2252]

Super informative. As usual. Thanks. I have owned a mortar and pestle for years. Unfortunately it was a small one that never got used as it had almost no capacity and was very lightweight. Watching you I got a new larger one and now use it frequently. It is heavy and needs a different home that is easier to access. Perhaps the counter. Thanks again.

[@limogesfarmer6326]

I bought one after watching this video!!! Plus I bought a ton of ingredients - spent 200 bucks CDN, and now I think my pantry has most things in it I need to do most of your recipes to date. I found a Thai grocery store in Ottawa that had everything on my long list: What does $200.00 get you from Lim Bangkok grocery store? 1 large granite mortar and pestle (just under 70 bucks) And just over 130 bucks gets you: Bean noodles (a.k.a. Glass noodles or clear vermicelli), 100% mung bean Chili paste Cilantro (they didn't have any with the roots attached - I'll have to grow my own to get the roots) Daiken radish Ginger Galangal Green onions Green curry paste Yellow cury paste Masaman curry paste Dried fungus Mushrooms Dried shitake Mushrooms Dried shrimps Fermented shrimp paste Golden mountain Sauce Kafir lime leaves Hoisin Sauce Lemion Grass Kafir Limes (you use the skin) Oyster Sauce Thai Basil Palm sugar Sesame Seeds Dried red chilies (not the hot kind - the flavour kind) Green chilis Shallots Sweet Soy Sauce Tamrind Paste Bamboo shoots (tips) And from another place, I have a package of Garam Masala herbs (Essentially the non-fresh aromatics for Muslim Indian stew type meals. I'm not sure how to use them - it was an impulse buy. I've watched many different Thai cooking videos online, and yours is the best. I love the links to the recipes for the ingredients list, and the videos are fun to watch as well. I look forward to my new path into Thai cooking. Maybe I'll post videos of my successes and failures! :D

[@Philipk65]

That was fantastic information. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

[@bluorb]

This was very helpful! I picked up first one, a small one, at T.J. Maxx (store with high quality, but "out of date" new products usually at half price) thinking it would be enough for most things. It's fine, but I quickly realized I needed a bigger one. So back to the store for the biggest one. I thought that would be big enough until I tried making a marinade with a lot of liquids. It was also fine... but messy & much more difficult to deal with. So, off to the local Asian market for a large one! It is pretty dang heavy, but I like it quite a bit. I felt like I'd wasted money on the first 2 since I found the "right size" at the Asian market, but I will try using the smaller ones for garlic more often since I also seem to use garlic in 80%+ of the dishes I make from scratch. Thanks again for the very useful tips!! 😻

[@rangochu2713]

I just bought one from UK’s Tkmax 😂 I bought a tiny cute one, hopefully I won’t be like you and end up needing a massive one 😂

I love this and it good to have one on hand ,when my dad passed I found a big one in the kitchen I think he used this for making cocoa sticks,but once I used it for making powder such as turmeric ,thyme etc..when I use it it's like going to the gym. I still believe in the old fashion way cuz for me these days u have to learn how to survive without the grid,good info❤❤❤

I agree that a mortar and pestle is important, yet when making a spice blend a spice griner is also useful.
