Product Overview

Crush sesame seeds and prepare small seasoning batches by hand with this 17 cm wooden pestle. The rounded working end presses ingredients against a suitable mortar, while the straight wooden body lets you guide the pressure and movement.

Choose a mortar that leaves room to move the pestle and keeps your hand comfortably above the rim. A hole near the upper end provides hanging storage between uses.

Wooden pestle grinding sesame seeds in a separate ridged mortar; mortar and food not included

Grind sesame and seasonings by hand

Add a small portion of sesame seeds to a suitable mortar and hold the bowl steady. Press the rounded end into the ingredients, then guide it in controlled circular movements against the inside of the bowl.

Pause to check the texture as you work. Start with a coarse crush or continue to a finer grind according to the dish, adding ingredients in small portions rather than filling the mortar to the rim.

Match the pestle to your mortar

At 17 cm long, this pestle is a compact tool for small-batch preparation. The working end needs space to move inside the mortar, and the handle should extend far enough above the rim for a comfortable grip.

Check the bowl depth and opening before choosing a pairing. A larger or deeper mortar may call for a longer pestle; the mortar and food shown in use are not included.

A rounded end and hanging hole

The wooden body ends in a rounded working surface rather than a separate enlarged head. Hold the upper section and use the end to press and rotate ingredients against the mortar.

A hole near the top allows the pestle to hang when clean and dry. Natural wood grain is part of its appearance, so the grain pattern and tone can vary from piece to piece.
