Authentic Mexican Molcajete Lava Stone Mortar & Pestle Set with Handwoven Tortilla Basket - Perfect for Guacamole, Salsa & Traditional Mexican Cooking

The molcajete is a century-old mortar and pestle used by Mexican cooks. Its rough surface is made entirely of volcanic stone, ideal for grinding and releasing flavorful oils from vegetables and spices. Like cast-iron, your molcajete bowl can go in the oven, retain heat for an hour, and it picks up flavors over time, continually enhancing the foods you’re working with. Perfect for salsa, guacamole, queso, mole, and more. Better with time - The more you use it, the more flavor and character you get. How It's Made: Its rough surface is made entirely of volcanic stone, ideal for grinding and releasing flavorful oils from vegetables and spices. What's Included: Each molcajete is packed in a tortilla basket made of handwoven palm leaves in a unique color and pattern. You can use the basket for corn chips, or tortillas. Also comes with a booklet with history, cleaning instructions, and recipes.
