The original Molcajete Mexicano volcanic rock Handmade of Authentic Lava Rock in Mexico - Molcajete de Piedra volcanica - Molcajete Mortar Pestle molcajete bowl molcajete volcanic rock guacamole maker

Great stone mixer for making homemade ingredients

I am thrilled with my purchase of The Original Molcajete Mexicano made of authentic volcanic rock. This molcajete is exactly what I was looking for! It’s not only a beautiful, handcrafted piece but also a highly functional tool for making guacamole, salsas, and grinding spices.The volcanic rock texture is ideal for creating the perfect consistency in my guacamole, and I can immediately tell the difference in flavor compared to using a regular bowl or food processor. This molcajete has a solid, heavy feel, which adds to its authenticity and helps keep it steady while grinding.Yes, it requires seasoning before the first use, but that’s expected with any traditional molcajete. Once seasoned, it’s truly a joy to use and clean. Plus, it looks amazing on my kitchen counter as a display piece.If you want an authentic, high-quality molcajete that brings out the rich flavors in your recipes, this is the one to get!

Very durable! Crushes whatever you put in it. Great quality.

This was a gift, but they liked it

These things need a lot of work to get to use. Not that I minded, but damn! First: you will need to use coarse salt and Jasmine rice to season it over a period of a few half hours. Secondly: You will need to make sure to check all the powdered rice flour you make to not have any volcanic rock fragments in it, anymore. Lastly: You will have to make sure all of the interior of the Molcajete is as smooth as you can get it. Is it worth it? OH HELL YES! It is time well spent! DO NOT use liquid soap at the start! Soap can get caught in the molcajete and affect the taste of the food in terrible ways. If you use soap, all your food will taste soapy, and no one wants that! The surface is porous and will absorb that crap! Might as well put your cast iron pots and pans in the dishwasher.Lastly use a combo of rock salt, Cilantro, Cumin seed, garlic cloves, and habaneros to the bowl and mash them and let them rest and cook them to retain flavors in the molcajete. Later, rinse them out. Trust me! the porous stone will hold on to these flavors and add to the salsas you make in it! OMG! Do this only once and you will have awesome game night meals forever! It's work that will pay off in the long run! Enjoy. AVOID THE SOAP!

Bought this as a birthday gift for a family member. High quality and real volcanic rock. Ensure you look up how to properly prepare/season your mocajete and it will last you a lifetime

After a few rounds of grinding rice to season the molcajete it’s still leaking water. After reading up on it that is a sign of a stone cutter that’s inexperienced or not interested in making a quality product. I’m going to keep trying to grind in enough rice to make it stop leaking but I’ve made a bad purchase and I know it. Don’t buy from this company.

I have always wanted an authentic molcajete and was thrilled to find this one. The price is great for how sturdy and large this bowl is. This came with a Tortilla pouch, curing guide and cookbook that had good recipes so well worth the time it took to get it ready for use.
