Mexican molcajete

If you like the rustic look for your kitchen, you’re going to flip over this authentic Mexican Molcajete!  This is the traditional Mexican version of the mortar and pestle, used for preparing moles, salsas and fresh guacamole.  It comes with a recipe and care booklet.  I’m not really sure how you would clean it properly, so it’s a good thing they’ll tell us!

Carved from natural volcanic stone, it’s about $48.
