Before First Use

Rinse

Rinse the mortar and pestle thoroughly with warm water. Use a clean, soft brush to remove loose stone particles. Do not use a dishwasher, bleach or harsh cleaners.

01
‍

Grind Dry Rice

Add a small handful of dry, uncooked white rice. Grind firmly across the entire inner surface until it becomes a fine powder. Discard and repeat until the powder appears mostly white, usually two or three rounds.

02
‍

Rinse and Dry

Rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove all rice powder. Allow both pieces to air-dry completely before use or storage.

03
‍

Optional Conditioning

Grind a small amount of garlic with coarse salt, discard the mixture, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Skip this step when you prefer to avoid residual garlic aroma.

04

Your Barroka mortar and pestle is now ready to use.

Everyday Care

Rinse with warm water soon after each use.

Use a soft brush or non-abrasive sponge when needed.

A small amount of mild, unscented dish soap may be used; rinse thoroughly.

Air-dry the mortar and pestle completely before storage.

Wipe the wooden base with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Never soak it.

What to Avoid

Dishwashers, extended soaking, bleach, harsh chemicals and metal scouring pads.

Sudden temperature changes, dropping the stone or striking it against hard surfaces.

Storing the mortar, pestle or wooden base while damp.

Natural Stone Notice

Every Barroka mortar and pestle is made from natural granite. Variations in color, mineral pattern, texture and surface appearance are expected and make each piece unique. Small visual variations that do not affect performance are not manufacturing defects.

Lifetime

Grinding surface built to outlast a lifetime of daily use

Quick Troubleshooting

Why is the rice powder grey?

The first batches collect residual stone dust. Continue with fresh rice — powder becomes mostly white.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. Hand-wash and air-dry completely.

Can I use dish soap?

Use only a small amount of mild, unscented soap when needed.

How do I clean the wooden base?

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not soak.
