Crush It Made from ultra-durable natural granite, extracts essential oils from herbs and spices – dried & fresh. Granite’s nonporous qualities prevent it from absorbing those oils, keeping the flavor in your food and not in the tool. The weight of the stone provides stability and makes pounding a cinch. This molcajete is large enough to grind up a party-size batch of guacamole, then mix and serve it in the same bowl. So break out the tortilla chips and let’s have a fiesta party. This tool is required for creating a lot of traditional Mexican dishes, including salsa guacamole, and much more. Use the IMUSA Molcajete to crush spices, herbs, nuts, medicine pills, and more.
