I have one of those granite, stone mortar and pestles... how do you clean it? I can't stick it in the dishwasher can I?
I don't have this gadget, but since it handles all aromatic stuff, I'd he hesitant to clean is with any kind of soap as it may happen on the dishwasher.
Instead, I'd clean it as kitchenelf recommended or use a mild neutral abrasive like baking soda to rub off the residue.
I own only a wooden one - just wipe it out after use - never used a ceramic or gravel one...does anyone know the advantages of wood vs. ceramic or gravel-maybe I need a different kind...
Wood is porous, so it might retain flavors from one use to the next more than stone. And it's granite, not gravel
