Molcajete with Tortilla Basket
Product Description
Thousands of year old volcanic rock is used to make this Mexican mortar and pestle the traditional tool for making guacamole and salsa fresca. The colorful traditional woven basket will keep tortillas warm at the table as the freshly pounded avocado and salsa are passed.Hand wash only. Dry thoroughly.
We recommend the following for curing before first use: Rinse the molcajete with water (or let soak in water overnight), then clean with a wire brush, or toothbrush, to get rid of surface debris and dust.Place enough rice to make an even layer across the bottom of the molcajete.Pour in about a tablespoon of water, then use the pestle to work the rice up and around the entire inner surface of the molcajete until the rice has formed a grey paste.Rinse out the paste, and repeat the rice grinding until the resulting paste is no longer grey.You can then repeat with garlic, onion, cumin seeds, rock salt, or cilantro to add a seasoned flavor before your first use.
