The rough interior grips seeds and garlic cloves so they break down rather than skittering away, and the sheer weight of the bowl keeps it planted on the counter. A two-cup capacity is roomy enough for pesto or a batch of spice paste but compact enough to grind a teaspoon of cumin without chasing it around.
Season it before first use by grinding a handful of dry white rice until the powder stays clean, then rinse and let it dry. Wash afterward with hot water and a stiff brush, skipping soap, which can linger in the stone. Dry completely before storing. Garlic smells fade after a rinse or two.
