Amazon Shoppers Can Make 'Mind-Blowing Guacamole' with This Mortar and Pestle Set — and It's on Sale

While you may be used to stocking your kitchen with high-tech gadgets and cookware, there's something to be said for a simple mortar and pestle set. For thousands of years, people have used these stone tools to crush and grind ingredients—nowadays we love it for making everything from guacamole to basil pesto. And right now, you can get the best-selling ChefSofi Mortar and Pestle Set for 37% off on Amazon.

The top-rated cooking tool is the number one best-selling mortar and pestle set on Amazon. It comes with a weighted unpolished granite bowl with a 2-cup capacity and a granite pestle masher with an easy-to-hold grip. You'll also find an adhesive anti-scratch protective pad on the bottom of the mortar, preventing it from damaging your countertop.

To use the mortar and pestle, the brand recommends filling a third of the bowl with ingredients to prevent them from spilling over. You should start with the hardest ingredients to grind and add more ingredients as you go. Once you're done using the set, you can wash it with water or grind some uncooked white rice in the bowl to remove any leftover flavors. You should avoid using soap if you can, the brand says.
