Has PC ever made a mortar and pestle or any other spice/seed grinding tool?

Thanks!
Susan
 
I'm not aware of one. So, I looked on ebay :eek: and there wasn't any listed ;) so my guess is no. Mybe someone who has been a consultant for a long time will chime in and give us an answer.
 
I don't recall one either, if they had one it's been some years ago.
 
I've got a catalog from 1996 at home, and I don't remember seeing anything like that in there. That kind of tool, that could be considered "gourmet," is more in line with our more recent offerings than the older stuff.

You could be right but I do use my mortar/pestle for making pesto, crushing garlic and oil together. It does have many uses and I think it would be nice to add it to our SA line. But like you said murphy's law;)
