The mortar and pestle carved from volcanic rock is among the world's oldest kitchen tools.

OK, I read where a few folks had there Mocajete damaged in shipping. Not mine. I got it as a gift 4 months ago and carried it in my suitcase on an airline.
I searched for a good seasoning plan and that went fine. I use the Rosa Mexicano Guac recipe and it is Great in this Mocajete. I also make a great salsa recipe in it. I have no clean up problem and no chipping. It's a fun tool.

such a disappointment

I have just returned this item as it arrived damaged. I had considered purchasing the molcajete for years, finally placed the order, and was very disappointed when it arrived with a good sized chip in the rim. A number of fragments were in the packing material leading me to believe that it might continue to lose bits and pieces over time. Bits of lava rock in my guacamole was a concern, thus I decided not to request a replacement.

No quality control for this item!

I received this item and one of the legs was damaged. I called customer service and they said pack it back up, we will have it picked up tomorrow. I thought, wonderful customer service! My replacement came - two of the legs were damaged. I called again, they said pack it up and we will send another one. That replacement had one damaged leg. Well, I called again and asked them if the item could be checked before it was shipped. I knew they were not being damaged during shipping because there were not any chipped off pieces in the boxes. I really wanted this item, but one that was not damaged. Well, I received the fourth one - one leg was damaged. I give up! I called and said it was damaged but I was tired of boxing them up to ship back. They gave me a 15% credit for keeping a damaged item. No quality control I guess. Very unhappy!

I received this as a Christmas present as I make a lot of guacamole. It's beautiful and heavy. Don't forget to view the video and how to season it. I have used this several times now and it truly is the "wow" factor for entertaining. Everyone that sees it loves it. Yes, it's heavy; yes, it's large but it sits on my counter since it's so pretty. It doesn't hold as much as I thought it would (if you make 2 avocados with all the other ingredients you will be fine). If you make a large batch with more than 2 avocados then make in larger bowl but still present in your Molcajete. This is one gift I will use for sure. Oh and make sure you have a trivit or something underneath it and don't drag it as it will scratch your counters. Just wash out with soapy water and let air dry.

This mortar and pestle is the real deal. It weighs a ton and the pestle itself is the perfect size and weight make the pounding very easy.

The Molcajete is wonderful. I looks great on the counter, and makes great guacamole. You just have to remember to treat it first with rice or your guac wil be full of black pieces of mortar.

This unit is heavy and stout, which is exactly
what is needed to quickly prepare avocado's or other fruit's, if desired. The Molcajete does need to be "seasoned" though, which can be seen on the Video review from W-S website. I serve Guacamole right from the Molcajete. Guests just love it!

I do really love the Molcajete. I've bought it for two of my friends as house warming and shower gift. Note: get this item shipped 'cause it's heavy to carry! We've all taken this out for entertaining. So neat and fun to use but a pain to clean...

Just received this item with no instructions for preparing it for use. In the reviews, I read it should be cleaned with rice before using. I should not have to read a lot of reviews to help me know what to do. Instructions should be sent with each molcajete. I have not used it yet.
