I use a marble mortar and pestle for grinding spices. I wash it out
after each use. I have wanted to use it for grinding garlic into a paste,
but never have, fearing that the garlic oils would soak into the marble
and turn rancid, thus flavoring everything else I use the mortar & pestle
to grind. Am I right in this, or will all the garlic oils wash out
if I scrub this after each use?
