This Mortar & Pestile is versatile and the perfect kitchen accessory for anyone who likes to cook. It's the final touch you need to complete or create your own special recipes. Our nephew, a creative cook himself, loved it so much we gave it to him. Purchasing another for ourselves is on our "To Do" list!

Nice size and VERY heavy. Great for herbs and guacamole.

I really like the lava rock and the look it adds to our kitchen decor.

Seasoning the molcajete looked like a daunting task. After one round of mashing garlic (which made the house smell as if I was warding off vampires), I heard a better suggestion and promptly handed the molcajete over to my husband who power washed it. Wow--clean--no grit! I prefer to use the molcajete over a blender--it's easier. I can make guacamole and then use it as a serving dish. Bring out the chips!

This was my first molcajete purchase, but the directions for "seasoning" it were so easy to follow that it came out perfect (the cumin added a great flavor). Beside the typical guacamole recipe, I've found numerous uses for it and now use it almost daily. It is the ideal size for grinding spices and garlic. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to add a little spice to their daily recipes.

I bought this IMUSA Molcajete, Lava Rock to hand grind my fresh herbs as well as make guacamole. And it does it's job with little help to grind and to smell the aroma of my fresh herbs is wonderful. This tool is heavy and sandy. I had to season three times and rinse really well. Overall it's a good purchase, just too sandy.

This is a great molcajete, I use it for many things especially to grind my hot peppers. It makes my hot sauces have a better taste than the blender. When i saw this molcajete in the store, i was excited, because i prefer using the molcajete than the blender. you can grind many spices better, I really recommend this molcajete to those who love mexican sauces.
