<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''mortar and pestle''' is a set of two simple [[tool]]s used to prepare ingredients or substances by [[compression (physics)|crushing]] and [[shear force|grinding]] them into a fine [[Paste (rheology)|paste]] or [[powder]] in the [[kitchen]], [[laboratory]], and [[pharmacy]]. The ''mortar'' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɔr|t|ər}}) is characteristically a bowl, typically made of hardwood, metal, [[ceramic]], or hard stone such as [[granite]]. The ''pestle'' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|p|ɛ|s|əl}}, <small>also</small> {{IPAc-en|US|ˈ|p|ɛ|s|t|əl}}) is a blunt, club-shaped object. The substance to be ground, which may be wet or dry, is placed in the mortar where the pestle is pounded, pressed, or rotated into the substance until the desired texture is achieved.</div>FuzzyBot
