mortars and pestles
Pharmacy crushing tools
Mortars and pestles are a paired grinding tool—the mortar is a sturdy bowl, the pestle a club-shaped implement used to crush and grind substances against the bowl's interior.
Used in kitchens for spices and herbs, in pharmacies for compounding medications, and in laboratories for pulverizing samples.
The phrase almost always appears in this order, like "salt and pepper."
