Review: It’s the real deal. - I finally got myself this molcajete. I have been wanting to get one for many years but never came across it in a store. My package arrived safe and the molcajete was not damaged in anyway. I appreciate the effort and art that goes into making this ancient cooking tool. A PERSON chips away at a piece of lava rock for 6 HOURS. Look up some history before purchasing. It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the small chisel marks underneath and the “imperfections”. I’m pretty sure the Aztecs just used them and didn’t worry about how spanking clean they were... a little dust here or there...it’s a natural product. If the thought of eating from this type of stone repulses you because of some dust, maybe you should look into a granite or other type of mortar and pestle set. I crushed up some rice with it to clean it out anyway and that was too annoying so I used garlic cloves and bits of onion instead. I think that worked better. Yup it smelled like garlic and and onions in the house for days it seemed. I did this until the paste wasn’t grey. I ground up my old chilies to help break it in. I made my first salsa verde tonight and it was quite a workout. I have a little blister on my palm now. But my salsa was amazing and ridiculously delicious. I didn’t spend hours curing it and didn’t see or taste any dust or rocks. I can’t wait to make more! It’s pretty porous. You’ll probably have a bit of hard time to clean out the holes. I just scrubbed it with hot water and a brush and got most of the debris out. There’s no way to get everything out. Just make sure to dry it. I just put in the cold oven and heat to 300•F for 10 minutes, turn it off and let the residual heat dry it the rest of the way. Yes this tool requires a learning curve and some time and energy. No, it’s not the easiest or fastest way to make salsa. If that’s what you want then just use your blender. But where’s the fun in that? Enjoy the salsa making!
Review: Sturdy unit. So far so good - Received this quickly after ordering. Arrived well packaged. The mortar and pestle are very robust, and while exhibiting some rustic touches due to how they are made, it is all pretty uniform overall and sits evenly on tbe 3 legs. The top edge seems to be slightly off level, but not enough to stand out or interfere with food prep. Again, part of its handmade nature. I haven’t used it to make food yet, as I’m still in the break-in and cure stage. But already I can tell that it’s going to be a robust and useful kitchen tool, and I think the 8.5” sizes will help me handle big prep jobs with ease, while still being just fine for quick small jobs. My last mortar and pestle, which I’m replacing because I broke it, was a more traditional cup type design and was pretty small . On that one I often found myself wishing it had more volume AND more of a bowl shape. So this new molcajete is meeting all the requirements. And a side benefit is that it looks good just sitting out on the counter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little work up front and you'll have a wonderful kitchen tool for a lifetime
*by G***Y on July 3, 2018*

If you're interested in a molcajete you've probably read a billion articles about seasoning it. They all say different things and they all say their way is the best. The basic takeaways are: -Wash it with water to get dust and loose grit out. Doing this under a high pressure shower head works nicely. -Let it dry and then start grinding rice to powder in it to smooth the inner surface and work out additional grit. Keep grinding palm-fulls of rice until the rice dust is coming out white. -Get a small stiff brush that you only use for cleaning the molcajete. Brush out the dust with some water. In the future this is all you need to wash out the molcajete. No need to ever use soap, which might add an undesirable flavor. -There will still be a little grit but you can start making salsa in it now. The grit will find its way to the liquid at the bottom. After a couple batches, you should stop seeing grit and then you can use it for grinding spice blends and making guacamole. -Through use, the inside of the molcajete will become seasoned, growing smoother and darker than the outside. -The main thing is to just start using it. Don't grind rice in it for weeks because you keep finding a piece of grit. It will become perfect with time and use. I'm no expert, but this seems to be the real deal, volcanic rock. There are signs of hand-working the stone, which is porous and flecked with shiny bits and ceases being dusty and gritty after the initial preparation process. As for size, it's probably on the small end. A one-avocado batch of guacamole fills it up pretty well, but there's probably room for two.
