Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here are the "good" and "bad" on this product. . . ADVANTAGES . 1. It is heavy. At 1.6 pounds, it is the heaviest stainless steel mortar and pestle set among the choices on the Amazon website. . 2. The two tools are created by pressing heavy sheet stainless steel into form. Although they are hollow, the weight, feel, and appearance give a false impression of a solid casting. . 3. I used the product for grinding medical pills into powder to be mixed with juice for consumption. A brushed finish prevents the pills and chunks from sliding away. . 4. Stainless steel is very durable than marble and granite - the usual materials for this tool. . 5. The rubber ring on the bottom of the dish looks commercial grade. . 6. At $15, it is the second cheapest among comparable competing products. . 7. Cleaning is fast. . . DISADVANTAGES . 1. After pounding and grinding pills in the device for two weeks, small scratches appeared on the dish.
