De originele Molcajete Mexicano Bowl handgemaakt van authentieke lavasteen in Mexico - Molcajete de Piedra vulcanica - Mexicaanse vulkanische mortierstamper - Authentieke lavasteen

Love the bowl!

Day 1 and 2, seasoned the molcajete using rice and then rice and salt for a total of 5 hours of seasoning. I jumped straight into making some traditional salsa….I couldn’t be happier with the end result.For those who’ve never used a molcajete to prepare food before (like me), the seasoning process really gets you in shape to take any recipe on! Gave fun with this authentic, old school cooking tool.

These things need a lot of work to get to use. Not that I minded, but damn! First: you will need to use coarse salt and Jasmine rice to season it over a period of a few half hours. Secondly: You will need to make sure to check all the powdered rice flour you make to not have any volcanic rock fragments in it, anymore. Lastly: You will have to make sure all of the interior of the Molcajete is as smooth as you can get it. Is it worth it? OH HELL YES! It is time well spent! DO NOT use liquid soap at the start! Soap can get caught in the molcajete and affect the taste of the food in terrible ways. If you use soap, all your food will taste soapy, and no one wants that! The surface is porous and will absorb that crap! Might as well put your cast iron pots and pans in the dishwasher.Lastly use a combo of rock salt, Cilantro, Cumin seed, garlic cloves, and habaneros to the bowl and mash them and let them rest and cook them to retain flavors in the molcajete. Later, rinse them out. Trust me! the porous stone will hold on to these flavors and add to the salsas you make in it! OMG! Do this only once and you will have awesome game night meals forever! It's work that will pay off in the long run! Enjoy. AVOID THE SOAP!
