is the inside smooth or rough?

Smooth, if I remember correctly. It's at a thrift store now. Couldn't grind fennel with it at all. However I'm not awfully strong.

Semi-smooth. Not polished smooth like your countertops, but not as rough and coarse as those Mexican molcajete stones. Same for the curved surface of the top grinder piece. Semi-smooth or slightly coarse. If you want a really heavy grinder, this is not it. It's good for smaller grinds with basically surface to surface pressure being the force that drives it. I do small batches of spices or Caesar Dressing, the anchovies, mustard seed, garlic, capers, etc. with this one. And it's good for spices. If you want to grind tougher items or large quantities, I'd recommend a larger, coarser one. If you want one for small quick batches that don't need a heavy, coarse abrasive surface, this is great and fits on the counter for less clutter and easy access. Hope this helps.

Mine was broken on arrival but smooth at quick glance as I was more concerned by the split in the main bowl.

HI,The inside is rough enough to smash up my pills, and smooth enough not to let any residue remain inside. hope this help.

Rough but only slightly. I would prefer it to be a little rougher. I use it to grind pills for my wife who can't swallow the larger ones. It is not "slick".

It is not completely smooth, but it's not "pebbly" either. I have several glass cutting boards to use next to my stove and sink, and this is the smoothest one I have. I just went to look at it again, and it's quite a bit smoother than my other ones.

Not quite sure what you mean by smooth. I will tell you that both side are SLIGHTLY textured and I do mean slightly. I personally love mine because they are big enough for large amounts for things like stuffing or apple pie.

It has a slight texture to the top, but not rough. It worked perfectly for us.

Yes there is a smooth side! The other side has round bumps that aren't very big.

Mine are smooth! I saw that in the photos as well and mine have a little of that look. However, if they're dimpled at all, then it's only on the inside. The outside is completely smooth.

Yes it is very smooth. It is also a very handsome kitchen accessory. I used it for fennel seeds. As they turned to powder, the powder did not have anything to cling to and just sank to the bottom.

It is a hard interior but not a thick rigid plastic--very smooth and somewhat pliable.

Yes, they are smooth on the inside. The ribbing is only on the outside of the bowl.

It's smooth. I've had this pan for over a year and I absolutely love it. I also bought one for my mom and my sister and they love theirs as well.

The inside surface isn't like sandpaper nor is it rough. But, it also isn't like glass. When you fell the inside you can fell the texture/grain. If there is such a thing as grain in granite.

It is made of metal, so it is not completley smooth. That being said, I would describe it as a smooth surface.

NO, inside is smooth, easy to clean and no places for debris or bad boys to hide.

It has a slight texture. Not smooth like plastic or stainless steel. A spatula glides smooth enough though because it's preseasoned.

No, it's not rough at all. Your tub will just not have that slippery feel to it. It works really good.

It is smooth. There is a little rubber like surface to prevent slipping but it's smooth, not ridged.

NO the dish is all smooth inside. The lid is hard to take off for an elderly person like me!
