Mortar
The mortar and pestle grinds raw herbs and spices into powders and pastes. Put one item into the input slot and wait about 10 seconds per piece. It keeps going until the stack is done or the output is full.
Ground spices are what the better recipe versions ask for. A soup with Thyme is fine, the same soup with Ground Thyme is usually one quality step higher. See Cooking Pot.

Dried herbs and dried chili from the Drying Rack can be ground too, which is a good way to store herbs for later.
