M744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Molcajete is an original, essential, practical kitchen utensil that was first used 3500 years ago during the pre-Hispanic era to make salsas, and very little has changed since then. The Molcajete is a volcanic stone carved mortar in a concave shape, like a bowl with three legs, in which chiles, spices and herbs are grinded to make salsas as well as guacamole. The word Molcajete derives from the Nahuatl Molli (Sauce) and Caxitl ((Cajete) Bowl) and it can be either of porous stone (best) or glazed earthenware. The pear shaped, porous stone that comes with the Molcajete, the pestle that is used to grind the food is called texolotl or Tejolote from the Nahuatl Tetl (Stone) y xocotl (grind or pulverize); also known as temolote o telmalchin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Molcajete or mortar is still used in food processing today in the states of central and southern Mexico. Spices can be crushed in molcajete like no other and most of the time molcajetes are used in making a salsa due to the fact that a special texture and flavor are obtained when made in them. Salsas or Guacamole can be served or presented on the table after being elaborated in the same mortar, giving your table a rustic look. Usually recipes are not stewed or cooked in the molcajete, it does stay hot for a long time, so don't be surprised if you find your food bubbling hot a half hour after serving. Molcajetes make excellent decorations in your kitchen giving it an authentic Mexican look and they also make an excellent present for those salsa lovers in your list.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to cure a Molcajete:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo cure a Molcajete all you need is to do is grind garlic with salt and water until it no longer gives off sand or dirt. Another way to get your molcajete broken in because small grains of stone can be loosed from the surface when first used is to grind rice in the molcajete, a handful at a time. When the crushed rice has no visible black grains of stone in it, the molcajete is ready to use. Don't worry if some rice flour remains ground into the surface of the molcajete, it will cause no problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to cure a Mexican lava stone molcajete by Ancient Cookware (English)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rxvmroxoMfs?controls=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003cb\u003eVideo Como curar un molcajete, how to season a molcajete por Ricky Receta Facil\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2IcC7-Ua5VI?rel=0\u0026amp;controls=0\u0026amp;showinfo=0?ecver=1\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Mexicana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43933972889736,"sku":"819439011156","price":77.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/2782\/2728\/files\/819439011156.jpg?v=1770666201"},{"product_id":"la-mexicana-molcajete-pig-head","title":"La Mexicana Basalt Stone Molcajete with Pig Head – 7\" Handmade Mexican Mortar \u0026 Pestle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLa Mexicana Basalt Stone Molcajete with Pig Head\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring authentic Mexican tradition to your kitchen with this handcrafted \u003cstrong\u003e7-inch basalt stone molcajete with pig head\u003c\/strong\u003e by La Mexicana.
