Cast Iron Mortar & Pestle

I found a really great deal on a cast iron stocking-stuffer or small gift…
It is a cast iron mortar and Pestle, they are perfect for grinding herbs and spices or making pastes in the kitchen. I use mine all the time and this one is very reasonably priced at $14.99. If you have Amazon Prime, there is free 2-day shipping for a few more days so it isn’t too late!

Even if you run out of time before the holidays… It is still neat!
