Question 1

Where is this Molcajete made?

Accepted Answer

When I got the Box it said Mexico.... however I do not believe it is pure volcanic rock. It looks nothing like the picture, it was more white, like cement was mixed in, which I know is a common problem. Went to William Sonoma instead, same price, WAY better product!

Question 2

I purchased this but did not receive any care instructions with the shipment.  How do I obtain them?

Accepted Answer

There are several methods of cleaning care on google. I used water pressure cleaner we have. But you can use car wash. Don't use soap. Let it dry thouroly. Then use rice and grind all over well of molcajete with hand held moter stone until no more loose stones rub off. This is a must. You don't want pieces of lava in you sauces. Very time consuming but very worth it.

Question 3

How large is this Molcajete? How many cups does it hold? It says the dimensions are 3"x3"x3", which seems awfully small if you ask me. Thanks guys!

Accepted Answer

Hey Willie.....inside diameter is 7 1/4 inches,or, I am able to make two cups of awesome salsa!....My recipe calls for one medium vine ripe tomatoe to one fresh crisp jalapeno(both roasted of course!)....so in this molcajete I am able to use 3 & 3.......grind, salt to taste,a little water that's it!...BE SURE TO BE PATIENT AND TAKE THE TIME TO CLEAN AND SEASON BEFORE USE!

Question 4

Can you guarantee that this is actually Lava Rock?

Accepted Answer

I have 2 and have cured and given away maybe four.  This one seems to be the same as my original that is lava rock and 25 plus years old.  Does not look like the concrete knock-off's and has the basic same characteristics as lava rock so I believe it is is lava rock.  I've been to latin markets that have pawned off the concrete or blended types that I have inspected and rejected.   This one was a little more porous than than my original but it cured very well. I believe if you follow my instructions on curing it will give you years or generations of service. I gifted this one to my daughter and she loves it as I do mine.  They make them out of granite, marble and other stone if you're worried but I think this one give much better results. Hope this helps.  Cheers!!
