My father got us one a few decades ago. I wasn't enthusiastic at the
time, but it's really great for very small quantities. Whole spices
keep their flavor much better, but also don't give it up very quickly in
cooking. I especially like my M&P for rosemary and fennel. I generally
don't clean it, which is what I like best. At most, a gentle swish with
a paper towel (or my fingers). This wouldn't work well for garlic or
ginger, though.



I got one a few years ago and use it 2-3 times a month.

It will be interesting to look at the quiz in a few hours. My
category was not mentioned since I had a mortar and pestle once but
I don't remember if I ever discarded it. If I still have one (?) I
will discard it immediately.

veg The question did ask if you 'currently' owned one.

Each to their own, I guess. I find ours extremely useful..

I'll bet it's useful. I've always wanted one, but never purchased one. I
think I'm going to have to. It's got to be great for mashing garlic!

or making a salt/garlic paste. or to make small amounts of ground
spice from whole. they're cheap, and do what they do very well.

When I got married a couple of years ago, the wife came
equipped with a 'food chopper', a spring loaded device with
plunger and a removable bottom cup.

I woulda run for my life.

Oops, I replied to this survey on the previous

That's actually the new Cyberpussy Kozmic Kontraceptive Device, it's

I use mine a lot, to pulverize spices, but I just got a free mini
coffee mill that I plan to dedicate to grinding spices when I don't
feel like doing it by hand.

I'm way behind, had to have my hard drive replaced & lost everything
& was without a computer for almost 2 weeks.
Anyway, I found a nice medium size marble one at TJMaxx pretty cheap.
I also found a tiny decorative one there (I just saw a jam pot that matches)
& a bamboo one at Bealls outlet.

Sorry to hear about your hard drive crashes; I just went through 3 of
those in the past month (remind me not to purchase or use *used* drives)
and lost a few things.

We don't have a TJ Maxx, but we do have a Bealls Outlet! I always forget
about that place and they've got *wonderful* kitchen things! It's even
here in Zipperhell, too, believe it or not. It's rather
off-the-beaten-path, so that's why I never think of it. I am going to
look for one, there. Thanks *so* much for the reminder of Bealls Outlet.
:~)

I'd been wanting one but always hoped to find one really cheap at a thrift
store. The ones I found were pretty inexpensive. I can always find nice
inexpensive stuff at TJmaxx, a while back I got both a square & rectangle
springform pan from Germany & a Henckels knife. I also bought a little hive
shaped honey pot, a clearance bamboo cutting board set & a 3 individual
pieces of Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit Wedgewood. I was looking at some new
Kitchenaid things they got in that are red & pink. I don't NEED (nor have
room for) a pink salad spinner or box grater but....
