I purchased: Linden Sweden-Jonas of Sweden Cone-Shaped Beech Wood Pestle, 13-Inch. It is nice and large and so is this strainer. It was pricey but it fits well and I did spend an awful lot of money on the strainer so I felt it was worth it. It was mentioned in some of the reviews of the strainer.

this specific mortar and pestle i bought as a gift - i own a similar one though (mine is a bit larger), marble as well; i have never used it for peppercorns, however use it frequently for all kinds of seeds such a cumin, coriander, caraway, fennel and anise seeds; i tend to throw my salt in with the seeds to grind them and have no problems; or some sugar if i need seeds for a "sweet" recipe. The bowl as well as the pestle i have are not rough, but not polished smooth; need to be washed between spicy and sweet seeds. I find it easy!

I have the 9.5 inch pan. It works very well. Make sure to season it first, per the enclosed instructions.

We use a mortar and pestle and it works well. Worth the minimal effort since the fine ground is significanlty more expensive.

I would go with the Tyvek 32855 if you are in the Northern region. If you're not really sure go to adcoprod.com which can help.

Any size works well. I had to get this size because I have large thick cookbooks. Still love it!

I don't know the answer to your question. I do recommend the the Oxo Good Grips Pepper Grinder. After a year, it's the best grinder I've bought. Trudeau is a common brand that I purchased in the past but they always broke after a year or two.

The inside diameter is 3.3 inches by a depth of 2.2 inches. Pestle is 5.5 inches by 1.35 inches.

I use two of them [bacon presses that are large] that I found at Acemart Restaurant Supply locally. I believe they have stores all over the country.

Yes. Course grind. If you want to reduce to flour consistency, I would use ceramic with broad pestle

I would suggest the 5.5 quart. I think I'm going to order one of those today. Good luck.

I think a 50mm tamper would be the best fit. The 50mm tamper I bought on Amazon ended up being about 49mm, which is just slightly too small at the top of the basket. Though, it doesn't reach all the way to the bottom of the basket because of the angle of the side walls. The tamper stops right at the '2 cup' mark. So, 49-50mm would be the best size to buy. If you are ordering one online, go for the 50mm, because it will probably measure just under 50mm. 51mm might be slightly too big if you are trying to make under 4 servings of espresso.

I just use any large stainless stock pot, it really just depends on what your shredding.

Anything over 3mm should work fine, 4mm is ideal for smaller pieces I think

Hi, George. I own this great item but I'm curious why you think you need an extra pestle. Instead of buying two, you COULD cover this one like I do with a plastic bag to keep it from staining or transferring foods one to another. That makes for easy cleaning. If you just insist on having TWO, then I would check a local thrift store or flea market as the metal bottom and rack wear out long before the wood pestle does. I hope I've provided some solutions for you since I don't think Amazon will split up a set to sell you a pestle. Also, check Ebay. Just a thought. Good luck. PS: type this number into Ebay. It's a kitchenwares sales place that has the pestle you seek for $10. Hi, George. I own this great item but I'm curious why you think you need an extra pestle.

Unless storage space is an issue, I would go with the 8 quart. The extra space is always handy when cooking for larger crowds - and the large basket can be used to steam crab legs, etc.
