mortar and pestle

hebridean

I've just broken the households granite/stone one, namely the pestle and i don't know how but i got the feeling that it must have been fragile anyway........!
So i'm thinking metal. I can weld. Steel holds no fears, but wood and stone are a no no from now on.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Buy a new one.

Buy 2 new ones - then you'll always have a spare.

On a serious note, get a cast iron one - just don't go dropping it on any tiled floors.

Yes wallbash,
That's an idea that hadn't occured to me, and i thank you for your insightful and constructive suggestion.................................................Not!

Ilikiwatch can you recommend any manufacurers?

Mine is by Typhoon, but as cast iron ones are so basic and solidly built I wouldn't have thought there was much to choose between manufacturers.

My wife keeps breaking things that are not either steel or cast iron. Dyson vac is a definite no no.
