Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Avanti Mortar & Pestles popular in New Zealand kitchens?
Kiwi home cooks appreciate Avanti Mortar & Pestles for their solid build, reliable control and ability to release deeper flavours from fresh ingredients. They’re a great fit for anyone wanting to improve seasoning and cooking results.
Which material is best for everyday use—granite, marble or porcelain?
Granite is ideal for heavy grinding, marble performs well with herbs and spices, and porcelain is suited for softer ingredients or lighter tasks. Choose the material that matches your favourite recipes.
Are Avanti Mortar & Pestles good for making curry pastes and spice blends?
Yes. Their weight and textured surface make it easy to crush aromatics like garlic, chilli, coriander seeds and ginger, helping you achieve richer, fresher pastes than store-bought alternatives.
How do I clean and maintain an Avanti Mortar & Pestle?
Rinse with warm water and scrub gently after each use. Avoid soap on porous materials like granite to prevent flavour absorption, and allow the bowl to air dry completely before storing.
Which size should I choose for my home cooking style?
Small bowls are perfect for quick spice grinding, while medium and large sizes suit curry pastes, marinades and multi-ingredient blends. Pick a size that matches your daily cooking habits.
