Handmade Mexican Molcajete 8 in with Wood Stand

The mortar and pestle remains a crucial tool in culinary traditions around the world, and it deserves to be treated as an essential in every kitchen. Not just because it served our ancestors so well, but because it continues to do what no other item in the kitchen does: smashing fibers and cells apart to fundamentally transform their texture. The 8-inch diameter bowl is the perfect multipurpose size for any kitchen, with an extra wood stand plate that can be used for a variety of purposes.

In most cases, you're better off with a solid stone mortar. Stone such as volcanic lava stone is strong, dense, and unyielding, giving you a powerful surface against which to crush things. Use your mortar to pulverize nuts, seeds, ginger root, and garlic, and make homemade salad dressings, sauces, and condiments, such as fresh mustard, guacamole, pesto, salsa, and chutneys. Widely used in pharmacies and apothecaries, your molcajete set will help you powder pills for optimal ingestion.

The package includes a card with easy instructions on how to cure the molcajete. Rest assured that these molcajetes are made to last a lifetime. The classic molcajete kitchen essential is a versatile tool that deserves a place in every kitchen, whether you're a professional chef or a home cook. Its timeless design and unparalleled functionality make it an indispensable part of any culinary arsenal.
