Mexican Molcajete

Molcajetes are used to crush and grind spices, prepare salsas, moles, and guacamole. Because of the rough stone surface, molcajetes are known to "season," carrying over flavors from one preparation to another. Salsas and guacamole prepared in molcajetes are known to have a distinctive texture, and some also carry a subtle difference in flavor. Carved from natural volcanic stone.
