I love garlic, but generally just use the garlic press. I'm still looking for an affordable mortar & pestle. Thanks for your take on that. I love garlic, but generally just use the garlic press.

Other than husbands who took on the job of dishwashing when I cooked and a few years in condos without husbands, I've never had "dishwashers." I wash my dishes by hand, a very soothing and Zen experience. I just now took my mortar and pestle out of the drawer and smelled them (I still have a persnickity nose) and they smell clean, neutral, new. But they are of a very fine porcelain. My guess is that if you have a mechanical dishwasher, all garlic will be purged and forgiven. If you do dishes by hand and have a pair that are coarse, the oils might permeate. And I think of all those old Mexican women I've watched who have used their <a href="http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/mortarpestle.htm" rel="nofollow">grinding bowls</a> for years, maybe even generations. Part of the bowl joins their food. You can see the wear in old pairs. Your call, based on your needs, though boiling water can do a lot to release oils from even the coarsest surface. I’m not sure.

I've been shopping for a mortar & pestal. Is there a risk that the garlic oil will lodge in the unglazed ceramic and leech flavor into things you grind in the future? Sounds delicious.
