Title: where to get a mortar and pestle
Post by: FenderGuitarMan on July 05, 2012, 01:26 pm
I've looked in various pharmacies and just haven't seen a mortar and pestle for sale. I imagine an old-school apothecary or holistic pharmacy would have one,  but there are none right around here. Any ideas? Anyone know a major pharmacy that sells them (CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens...)?

I did the mortar and pestle hunt before, couldn't find anything at any of the chain stores.

So yeah look online, amazon or ebay

776 results found for mortar and pestle - took less than a second to search on ebay.

Or possibly an herbal supplement shop. I've also seen these at Asian specialty grocery stores, just ask the guy.

If you can find a Mexican or Latino market in your area, they will almost certainly stock mortars and pestles.

Thanks everyone. I was looking for a local shop with one to use yesterday which is why ebay or amazon weren't my first stops. I didn't find one at the local grocery nor pharmacy. There is a healthfood/holisic store that I will drive by later today that I bet will have them. Otherwise I'll order one online. Thanks all!

Gourmet cooking stores also tend to carry them. I think home stores like Bed Bath and Beyond also have them

I posted a similar thread not too long ago, im expecting a bulk mdma shard order and feel like one of these would be perfect for breaking it down carefully! Someone suggested I go to a craft store and perhaps make my own, like decorate the clay and they fire it in the kiln..not very artsy though, may just buy one.

Most stores that sell kitchen equpiment should ahve what you need.

What are we all using them for?
..mine used for cooking - grinding herbs, spics, seeds etc for cooking - not so much for the narcotics
