Cracks are easily detected by holding the mortar by its base and tapping the rim. If the sound is clear and not muffled it most likely has no cracks. If it develops a crack, discard it and purchase a new one. Food particles can easily remain in fine cracks and have the potential of breeding food borne germs. A good Thai mortar and pestle is a relatively inexpensive item. These mortars are handmade from natural clay in Thailand. Colors and dimensions vary slightly, with rough patches on the interior and exterior of the mortar. Rinse with warm water and drip dry to clean, usually dish soap only if needed.
