Vasconia 4-cup Granite Mortar and Pestle, Molcajete

Would recommend if you want to use for homemade Salsas, Guacamoles or to make and hold other main dishes like Fajitas. This granite Molcajette will hold its heat for a good while or possibly you could slide a teacup candle under it (havebt tried that). Great for making different tasty stuff for sure 👍💯 **Rinse with water only first....air dry...add may cup dry white rice and spend like 20 min grinding to smooth up entire inside of Molcajette some... dump. Then take entire garlic cloves peeled...kosher salt (tbs)...grind to a paste....you can then add a flavor or too curry...pepper etc. Smear paste with pestle so that entire inside is coated evenly. Remember your seasoning like a cast iron. Leave alone for 24 hr. This will be very aromatic FYI...pungent of garlic lol. next day wipe out. if dry wash out with HOT water only NO SOAP and a clean brush or wash towel and dry. Can wipe with light olive and ready to shelve or use.

I was recently in Mexico City and saw similar products. This looks authentic and did a great job with my first batch of guacamole. I researched for the best product and this one was at a great price as well as great quality.

This is perfect for grinding, serving, and looks! Because it is granite and not volcanic stone, it doesn't need as much seasoning and you don't get the gritty taste with your food or spices.

This is much better than I expected. The quality the price excellent.I would recommend anyone to purchase this. I have used many times only for dry so far.

Authentic guac bowl! Can't wait to make a Nice big batch right in the serving bowl!!!

Good size. Happy with the product

very heavy built and easy to use

I recently purchased this mortar and pestle and have used it twice so far. It seems to be a solid and reliable tool. Before the first use, I seasoned it by grinding soaked rice, which helped remove any stone residue and smooth out the surface. It feels sturdy, has a good weight, and stays stable while grinding. I've used it to crush spices and herbs and veggies , and it does the job well. However, grinding for longer periods does lead to some hand and wrist fatigue, which is something to keep in mind if you plan to use it frequently or for tougher ingredients. Overall, it's a great traditional tool that delivers results, though it does require a bit of physical effort. For small batches, it's perfect — just be prepared to put in some elbow grease.

it's big size.Nice one For big families.

Never got my order even after reordering
