Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I choose?

The 8 inch is about 8 inches wide and 5 inches tall and weighs 7 to 8.8 lb, made for the family. The 10 inch is a full 10 inches across and holds enough guacamole or salsa for a crowd, ideal for parties, taquerías and catering.

Is it real volcanic rock?

Yes. It is pure lava stone with no glues or sealants, never concrete. It is handmade in Mexico, so size and weight vary slightly from piece to piece.

What comes with it?

Both sizes come with the pestle, the temolote. The 8 inch adds a traditional embroidered tortilla warmer, and the 10 inch a booklet with recipes and care instructions.

Do I need to cure it?

Yes. Cure it the traditional way, with rice and salt, before your first salsa. Scan the QR code that comes with your molcajete and get our step by step guide by email.

How long will it last?

It is made to last for generations. The dense lava stone resists cracking, chipping and odors, and it grinds smoother the more you use it.

Is shipping free?

Yes, on orders of $35 or more. We ship only within the United States, and smaller orders pay $8 for shipping.
