Please note you have to 'cure' the stone before using it. Curing & Care Instructions are included with each order. Essentially, you need to grind white rice until it turns grey, and then clean the molcajete with water and a small brush. This helps smooth the inner bowl from the lava rock's small porus edges. There are other methods to cure your molcajete that include spices if desired. Please message us with questions if needed.
Capacity was measured with water and is approximate.
Listing is for ONE Molcajete bowl & pestle ONLY - all other items in photos are not included.
Each molcajete is handmade, and the measurements vary, but will be within a 1/2 inch of the order size. They tend to run a little bigger rather than smaller. There are natural variations in texture and color inherent with this product as it is made from naturally porous stone, including brown veining and stone areas and small divots.
Each order supports local artisans in Central Mexico.
