"At 1.6 pounds, it is the heaviest stainless steel mortar and pestle set among the choices on the Amazon website. 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. I used the product for grinding medical pills into powder to be mixed with juice for consumption. Stainless steel is very durable than marble and granite - the usual materials for this tool. After pounding and grinding pills in the device for two weeks, small scratches appeared on the dish."
"Bought this mortar & pestle to powder our elderly father's pills for mixing with applesauce twice daily. This mortar & pestle exudes class even as it grinds the toughest pills to fine dust in seconds, then easily washes clean. Unlike the "cool" stone ones we've had, this SS mortar & pestle doesn't CHIP or BREAK when banged or knocked off the counter. It leaves no RESIDUE to scrub from tiny crevasses and pores, so no GERMS get trapped in there to add unseen nasty to the next use."
"It has a slip-resistant rubber base and is heavy and solid so I don't have any hesitation about crushing herbs with some force."
"It works well and I don't have to worry about getting marble dust in the mix with the stainless steel."
"I frequently use this and after washing it I dry it immediately so I've never seen any water spots or rust."
"I'm very happy with this..."
"We attempted to contact the manufacturer by visiting their website and filling out the form provided in order to send our contact information and our concern to them. I like the actual product and would be happy to provide a higher rating if I had a clean, unblemished version."

Reviews

"We ordered this chopper after seeing a similar product on TV."
"Chopping food is exhausting and painful, so I had stopped making a lot of my favorite foods, or had switched to pre-chopped versions. This little baby has been a dream for making salads and salsas and soups, and it's easy to clean with the little brush they include. You do need to push it down with a bit of pressure, but neither fine motor skills nor repetition are involved."
"It was, frankly, amazing that our previous chopper hadn’t done so earlier, given the design that placed significant force on the hinge area (two small tabs where the lid attached) of the thin, plastic base. When I saw the design of the Mueller Onion Chopper Pro, with the hinge fully integrated into the lid of your product, I was more than happy to spend a few more bucks to get it."
"This chopper glides through onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, apples, etc."
"Longevity is unknown since I just got this chopper, and being plastic means that it is unlikely to last forever, but it does feel sturdy and probably will outlive the useful life of the blades before developing any mechanical failures."
"If you cook for a big family or do meal prepping for the week ahead, I’d suggest getting this."
"Also, the swivel handle has a release button so it can be separated from the part that holds the blades for cleaning."

Reviews

"When closed, the dispenser is pretty airtight so the sugar doesn't clump, even in the humid weather."
"I bought 2 of these because we occasionally have our kids & grandkids over for my husband's famous Swedish pancakes."
"It's helped me decrease the amount of sugar I've been drinking in my coffee as I'm not using a tablespoon to scoop 3 spoons of sugar into my coffee."
"The sugar crystals do collect in the sides of the opener making it hard to open and close it, but I always leave mine set to partially open so for me it's not an issue."
"" OXO " GOOD GRIPS SALT/PEPPER SHAKER SET, is good choice for most Kitchen to Table Décor."
"These are smaller than I thought they would be, which was a bit disappointing."
"Specifically, I use ground white pepper in the pepper shaker and tiny little pepper particles appear to be leaking out from in between the plastic pepper container and the screw on top (yes, top is screwed on all the way)."

"The screen seems very strong and durable, the little plastic scrapers included are handy!"
"I bought a 2 Inch red Cali Crusher one, too, because a medium Golden Gate wasn't available at the time in a different color and BF sometimes takes it out to friends' house (this large one is portable, but IMO it's not small enough as to not feel and see it in your pocket)."
"I am also very impressed with the customer service I have received from the supplier because it shows me that they believe in their product and their customer base."
"Does a good job and can handle a lot."
"Great price, pulverizes your herb to a nice consistency."
"If your looking for a grinder that grinds super fine, almost powdery, then this is probably not the grinder for you. but if your looking for a grinder that grinds fine, spongy and fluff then this is it."
"If you want a finer grind, turn it upside down or an a 45° angle to get the stuff that falls through the first level back to the "top", where you continue to grind "upside down.""

"The first time I used it, I thought the arms the handles were attached to might have flexed a little too much. I reduced the squeezing pressure by half, the clove still pressed out perfectly, and the arms didn't flex at all."
"As soon as I received it, I pressed a bunch of garlic for a dish I was preparing and was very pleased to discover that the other reviews were true - I didn't have to skin the clove. What was left in the little basket was the skin pressed up against the sides and I just used a butter knife to take it out and dump it directly into the garbage."
"I saw this Orblue Propresser garlic press had been discounted, and I was curious enough to read through the description. Yep, this was the garlic press for me. So, I ordered---and waited impatiently for my Orblue Propresser garlic press to arrive."
"One feature that I love about this is you can put a clove of garlic that is unpeeled and still mince the garlic and peel will be left inside while garlic itself is nicely minced. It performed really well and minced every bit of the garlic cloves and didn't leave bits and pieces inside like some other ones might."
"Overall this is a well made product that is worth investing in and in addition to odor free hands, it also makes for one nice grip strengthening exercise!"

"The little plastic lids kept breaking off the cheap salt containers."
"We had purchased one locally and needed one for pepper so we were elated when we found it on Amazon."
"This was recommended with the Flavacol Seasoning from Gold medal, unfortunately that stuff is a powder so when you use this with it, it ends up coming out in very large amounts, you need to be careful."
"Couldn't find this in a store and wanted this specific type because it reminded me of the one I used as a child."
"Does exactly what is supposed to do."
"What's not to like, if you want a sugar shaker.. Looks nice, easy to take care of, sugar shakes out just right.. Love the old fashioned look, for my cottage like kitchen.."
"I have worked many food jobs that use this and can say that it has proven to be very useful."

I dropped one from counter height and watched in slow motion as it fell to the floor fully expecting it to shatter into a billion pieces."
"Pros: -Compact enough to sit on my counter and not take up much space. -The lids, though plastic, are coated in a super shiny chrome paint that makes it look much more expensive than it is. -The rack itself is pretty sturdy, and you can get spices in and out with ease while knowing that the others won't rattle or fall out of place. Cons: -The holes in each canister lid are super tiny."
"Bought 2 of these and stacked them on top of each other (pic attached) ."
"There were some basic spices that had no label with labels that come with rack."
"For the stand and 18 glass spice jars this is an amazing price! They have stainless steel screw on lids and the shaker top comes on and off very with ease."
"We were tired of looking for that spice -- you know, that spice you don't use very often, but you know is up there in the cabinet somewhere!"
"- To expand on the above note, I noticed that when transferring a full bottle of a powdery spice like chili powder from a plastic bottle to the included bottles, there was about a teaspoon of spice left in the plastic bottle."
"Added all my spices to the bottles."
