Prepare hierbas, especias y salsas como lo hacían nuestros antepasados: con herramientas de piedra hechas a mano. Los miembros de la Comonfort Group presenta este tradicional pie molcajete o mortero de piedra, elaborado a mano a partir de basalto volcánico. El mortero, llamado tejolote, se utiliza para moler o triturar los alimentos en el mortero. El molcajete también se puede utilizar como un plato único para servir salsa o guacamole.
Los artesanos recomiendan que el molcajete sea "curado" antes del primer uso. Para curarlo, se colocan frijoles secos, maíz o arroz en el recipiente y se muelen con el mortero hasta pulverizarlo. Se deja reposar el grano pulverizado durante 15 minutos. Una vez hecho esto, se puede lavar el molcajete a mano y dejarlo secar. Este paso garantizará que el polvo de piedra que quede del proceso de tallado no afecte la comida.

This beautiful molcajete arrived so well packed and was shipped so quickly. I have a smaller one that I had for years and was looking for a bigger one. After curing it I made a salsa grande! Have made beautiful guacamole in it. It truly is a unique piece.

This is beautifully made and holds up well to everyday use - whether for spices or to make guacamole as I was shown in Mexico City.

Beautiful stone mortar pestle. The design is perfect and the weight is very substantial 4-5 pounds. Very nice for working with dried whole spice, herbs, and creating stone ground whole grains.

She had a molcajete just like this one on her kitchen counter for many years. This is a terrific tool--its heavy, easy to use (once cured according to the instructions) and makes incredible guac. Ive used it many times, and its an impressive serving dish too. Im so glad to be able to support genuine artisans, and this will be a valued item in my kitchen for many years.

Thank you to the Artisan who made this Gorgeous Molcajete for me. After curing it, I made a delicious Salsa Roja, and an Amazing Guacamole, served in this beautiful Molcajete! The Molcajete grinds garlic, peppercorns, roasted onions, whatever you desire, beautifully! I am so very Happy with this Molcajete. I highly recommend every kitchen should have one of these Beauty. It arrived well wrapped and before the expected time frame.
