A KITCHEN ESSENTIAL: the mortar and pestle remain a crucial tool in culinary traditions around the world, and it deserves to be treated as an essential in every kitchen. Not just because it served our ancestors so well, but because it continues to do what no other item in the kitchen does: smashing fibers and cells apart to fundamentally transform their texture in most cases you’re better off with a solid stone mortar. Stone such as volcanic lava stone is strong, dense, and unyielding, giving you a powerful surface against which to crush things; Use your mortar to pulverize nuts, seeds, ginger root and garlic and make homemade salad dressing, sauces and condiments, such as fresh mustard, guacamole, pesto, salsa, chutneys and more. Widely used in pharmacies and apothecaries, your molcajete set will help you powder pills, for optimal ingestion. Rinse the mortar and pestle in water immediately after use. Wash the set-in warm water and use an abrasive dish sponge to remove stuck-on food.
