IMUSA 6in Granite Molcajete

I love it. The crusher makes turning seeds into powder simple. I use a rubber spatula to scoop it out in one swipe. Honestly wish I had bought this years ago.

THESE BOWL WERE MADE FOR MANY CENTURIES AND USED BY MAYAN AND AZTEC CULTURES. FOR CENTURIES MY WIFE WAS MEXICAN AND HER MOTHER TAUGHT ADELE HOW TO USE THE LAVA ROCK BOWLS FOR MEAL PREPARATION

Before I started cooking, I made sure to season my molcajete. I washed it with mild soap, rinsed it well then I ground up rice, salt, and garlic. I put water in it in the water held so I know it was nice and seasoned. First thing I made was a chimichurri with peppers and spices. It was so much easier, grinding them up than it is to chop everything in little pieces. The mulcajete worked great. Next thing I'm gonna do is salsa for Cinco de Mayo. I think this is gonna come in very handy. It's built well very sturdy and it looks great sitting on the counter. It's easy to use and easy to clean. Rinsing it out and using a light touch with a brush is what I'm doing. I'm not putting soap on it unless I use something very oily which I haven't yet. Can't wait for Cinco de Mayo to have a more authentic salsa and guacamole.

It's so versatile, I like having the option to grind up herbs, make guac, it can also handle extreme temperatures so a melty dip or fresh fruit ice cream is no big deal. It's durable. A very simple piece that has added so much value to my culinary adventures.

First i want to say how beautiful this looks in the center when serving guacamole or queso. The quality is amazing and looks very durable. It is very heavy but that's what makes it authentic. Overall I'm very satisfied and highly recommend. I received this for free, all opinions are my own.

I was so surprised by this molcajete! It completely exceeded my expectations. The quality really surprised me! It feels sturdy, well-made, and authentic, not cheap at all. I used it to make guacamole, and the results were fantastic. It did an amazing job breaking down the ingredients and blending the flavors in a way you just don't get with a regular bowl or even a food processor. The texture came out perfect, chunky but well combined, and you can really taste the difference. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. Overall, I'm really impressed with how well it performs and how solid it feels.

The IMUSA 8-Inch Granite Molcajete with Booklet is a sturdy and authentic kitchen tool that's perfect for making fresh salsas, guacamole, and grinding spices by hand. Made from solid granite, it feels durable and long-lasting, while the rough interior surface helps create rich textures and enhances flavor in a way blenders can't match. Its 8-inch size is practical for small gatherings without taking up too much storage space, and the included pestle is comfortable and effective to use. The added booklet is a helpful bonus, offering seasoning instructions and simple recipes, making it beginner-friendly. Although it requires a bit of care when cleaning and seasoning, the overall performance and traditional experience make it a great value for anyone looking to elevate their cooking.

I bought this because I pulverize peppermint hard candies to make my favorite blended chocolates. This mortar does the job. I also have muddled jalapenos instead of the other method of mincing by hand. It's much safer. Another thing is seasoning the mortar. The flyer that comes with the molcajete doesn't mention seasoning, so do your research online. I decided on the rice seasoning method because I didn't want to imbed garlic oil into the granite. I skipped that step with the garlic. Time will tell if this was a good idea. The item arrived fastenough for pickup at Massillon Walmart. It's a great service with tracking online and notifications and all that stuff. I have a small kitchen with limited storage so I clean this thing after use, then store it on the porch in a box.

Thanks IMUSA for the free molcajete to try out in exchange for a review. So my honest review is I'll definitely buy it again! Making salsa in this taste so much better than in the blender! It's a work out on your arm but super worth it. Make sure to wash the product before hand.

I have been wanting to get a molcajete for a while but usually pricey to get authentic one. I wanted to try one first and I have to say this is a great product for the price and quality. Looks and feels super durable, and a great addition to my kitchen equipment. I have used it a few times already and very happy with quality.
