The Mexican Molcajete, a version of the traditional mortar and pestle, is one of the oldest utensils in the Meso-American tradition and is generally used to crush and mix salsas made of spices and guacamole, as well as to blend grains and seeds together into convenient pastes and garnishes.
Being both useful and decorative, these authentic Mexican-made molcajetes are crafted from pure Volcanic Stone, unlike some other molcajetes that may be made of marble or cement rock.
Before using the molcajete for culinary purposes, it should be seasoned by grinding curing ingredients such as uncooked rice, salt, or white bread against the molcajete and both sides of the tejolote (the grinding tool). This helps to fill the small and slight crevices of the lava rock. After curing, the molcajete is used by simply pressing the tejolote against the ingredients inside, effectively breaking them down into a soft blend to your liking. Any dirt or debris should be discarded after grinding.
The rough surface of the basalt stone creates a superb grinding surface that maintains itself over time as tiny bubbles in the basalt are ground down, replenishing the textured surface. The word "molcajete" comes from the Aztec words "molli" (meaning "seasoning" or "sauce") and "caxitl" (meaning "bowl").
This specific item includes a lavastone Molcajete and a Tejolote. The Molcajete measures 8" x 8" x 4.5", while the Tejolote measures 3.5" x 2". Cleaning the molcajete is easy – simply scrape out any remaining food and rinse it under hot running water. Use a kitchen brush to remove any stuck-on food, then add a couple of drops of dish soap and scrub some more with the brush.
