Genuine Handmade Mexican Mortar and Pestle Set- 8 Inches, Molcajete Mexicano — Mexican Cookware Perfect as Salsa Bowls, Guacamole Bowl and Masher, Mortero Para Cocina made from Volcanic Rock in Mexico

Great product. Should of brought years ago.

I ordered this to make guacamole. After seasoning it and using it a few times, it does work well. It is very heavy and durable. Cleaning is very easy . I air dry it after washing.

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing i dont like about this item. What i love most about it is it is actually made in mexico. EVERYTHING is made in china. It is so refreshing to be able to purchase a hispanic tool from an hispanic orogin. I just wish we had more options. I am of mexican decent and i find it nearly impossible to purchase things from my family herritage. I wish i could do more. But i digress...the item is awsome but a bit of a chore to cure. This is something that is really necessary but only needed to do once in a life time for that item. Grind rice and salt as many times needed till it comes out clean while rounding off any sharp edges on the pessel. Rinse with clean water and a kitchen brush and let dry. Then grind up a couple cloves of garlic (3) with the food grade oil of choice while ensuring coverage all the way to the top of the mortar. Let stand over night then rinse with brush and let dry then ready to use. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU EVER USE SOAP. Unless of coarse you like the taste of soap. If you ever need a deep clean just cook it in the oven. It is after all a volcanic rock. 😉

Llegó en excelente estado, muy bien empacado. La calidad se ve de primer nivel, el tamaño es ideal para una porción pequeña/mediana, las instrucciones de curado están en inglés, me hubiera gustado un link a un vídeo con las instrucciones de cómo curarlo. El video de como se hace esta genial, muy informativo y te da una idea de todo el trabajo que se tiene que hacer para crear esta obra de arte. Saludos y gracias por su increíble trabajo

Great item can’t wait to get it seasoned and ready to go!!

Once you get in the rhythm of using it you wont got back. There are plenty of videos out there to show you how to "Season/Cure your Molcajete". You only need to do it once and your set for life. Replace you minced garlic (or ginger) with garlic(or ginger) you can now grind to a paste (very helpful for many Indian and Asian dishes, as well as central and southern American foods like Chimichurri or salsas). Grind spices or herbs by hand to really bring out flavors. (It works for vinaigrettes as well). It is legit volcanic rock to, which makes a world of deference for you when compared to some cheap one from a chain store. (the are usually made with concrete and suck). Heavy, functional, and very presentable (looks nice to serve in). It isn't a necessary buy, BUT it is wonderful addition to my kitchen and I never want to give it away

Looks great and does what it's supposed to. Shipped fast and was well packaged.

I bought this for a Christmas gift and it was Big and very heavy duty. My grandson loved it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Der Mörser ist sehr schwer und stabil, die Oberfläche rauh, so dass wirklich ein gutes Ergebnis erzielt wird. einen Stern gibt es Abzug, da leider kein Holzteller mitgeliefert wird. Unbedingt etwas unterstellen, damit die Tischplatte oder Küchenplatte nicht zerkratzt wird. Ich habe einen Teller nachbestellt, damit lässt sich jetzt entspannt arbeiten.

Perfeito, é uma obra de arte, vem muito bem embalado, parabéns pelo trabalho.

The box said Mexico, but I was skeptical when I saw the Molcajete. Too perfect, too smooth. However, after I finished seasoning it, all the debris inside the pores were released and you could see it was volcanic stone’s pores, those things that trap and release all the delicious flavours. The Molcajete is very well carved and carved from a solid piece of rock. It does exactly what it’s supposed to and that is grind and mash things to perfection. Worthwhile purchase!

This molcajete is great! Love it. It was a gift and i was just a little disappointed it didn’t come with instructions on how to cure/season it (It said it would in the description)

I’m unsure what kind of deception is being played here? I will explain I do understand that I’m Molcajete is handmade traditionally so there’s gonna be some variants in size. However, the description of this says it is a 7 inch flat bottom with an 8 1/2 inch diameter and 5 inches in height I will attach pictures and as you’ll be able to see mine is barely 3 1/2 inches in height. And actually just ever so slightly under 7 inches in diameter the workable bowl itself close to 5 inches and not very deep. The weight is off by quite a bit also. Needless to say I am beyond unhappy and I don’t believe anybody should buy from this company. There’s some shady deception going on here. And my children are very upset as they saved up quite a bit of money to purchase this for my birthday.
