Once you get in the rhythm of using it you wont got back. There are plenty of videos out there to show you how to "Season/Cure your Molcajete". You only need to do it once and your set for life.Replace you minced garlic (or ginger) with garlic(or ginger) you can now grind to a paste (very helpful for many Indian and Asian dishes, as well as central and southern American foods like Chimichurri or salsas). Grind spices or herbs by hand to really bring out flavors. (It works for vinaigrettes as well).It is legit volcanic rock to, which makes a world of deference for you when compared to some cheap one from a chain store. (the are usually made with concrete and suck).Heavy, functional, and very presentable (looks nice to serve in).It isn't a necessary buy, BUT it is wonderful addition to my kitchen and I never want to give it away

I bought this for a Christmas gift and it was Big and very heavy duty. My grandson loved it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Bought this for my husband for his birthday and he loves it! It arrived in perfect shape and was packaged well. He has been working on seasoning and polishing and can’t wait to use it.

Great item can’t wait to get it seasoned and ready to go!!

The media could not be loaded. We are very pleased with this molcajete (see associated video). We've made guacamole and salsa in it and it crushes up the ingredients as expected.

Just as advertised.

I purchased this to give my daughter for Christmas. She is delighted with her molcajete and has already made guacamole and salsa.She told me that curing the molcajete took effort but that the improved flavor of the salsa and guacamole made it worth it.
