## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the molcajetes smoothed and ready for use?**
A: The molcajete pictured above is made of lava rock which in itself is a coarse Rock . Yes it is ready to use but, no it is not smooth. They're used for grinding whether it happens to be corn kernels or Chili's. We use ours for making guacamole, and salsa.
When cleaning it use a small stiff brush to clean out the pores and hot water of course.
I hope this helps you.

**Q: Could you tell me interior dimensions?**
A: 5.75 across and about 2.5 inches deep

**Q: I am looking for a BLACK one.  Is this molcajete black or black and white?**
A: The Molcajete I purchased is of a native lava rock and is basically black, but has flecks of a grayish lava as well. These are made from natural rock and thus there is inconsistenty in color and form.  It is not perfection in its own right, but is marvelous to cook with! Love it...

**Q: it smells like dirt? Is it supossed to?**
A: It is made from lava rock...after it is used for a while it will likely take on other spice smells.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A unique addition to our well-stocked kitchen
*by D***N on August 15, 2011*

I bought this as a birthday gift for my fellow foodie boyfriend, and he loves it!! He seasoned it himself, then got right to work making pesto. He also made guacamole and has plans to make salsas as well. The pesto comes out amazing. The leaves stay green and the nuts come out in slightly different sizes which adds great texture. This molcajete is large and heavy enough, I think we'll be using it for a long time to come.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it
*by A***R on July 4, 2016*

This did not come packaged as advertised. Bubble wrapped instead. Still, I'm very happy with it. I only use it to grind black pepper and cumin seeds, for which it is very efficient. I was expecting to have to take a wire grinding tool to it to prep it for use, but it came ready to use. The first batch of ground dry rice came out clean. It does look more like the RSVP brand molcajete then that shown by MexGrocer. Whatever. I like it.

### ⭐ Useless as a kitchen item.
*by A***E on April 3, 2015*

I have no idea how I am supposed to use this thing to grind food, as it is all gritty and crumbly. If someone wants to have this as a decoration, that's one thing. But it is useless as a kitchen tool. Waste of money.
