I've seen enough TV shows making great recipes that I had to try it. Did the break in with rice a few times and tonight made pesto and it was outstanding. Tasted totally different, in a good way. I used a fraction of the oil I normally do so it was more of a paste. I added a little oil in the pasta.I am disappointed that like others I received a previously broken bowl. But it is short money and a good starter pestle and I look forward to a roasted pepper, avocado and tomato dip recipe I saw on TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent kitchen tool!
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021
This is an excellent tool for making guacamole, or in my case, pesto! The surface in this bowl is moderately rough - I'd call it halfway between the volcanic material of a true molcajete and a smoother marble or porcelain mortar and pestle.

A couple of points:

1) This product comes PRE-SEASONED. You can cure it a couple times a year to keep it up if you want, but you definitely don't have to spend hours grinding it down unless you're a masochist. I tested this out by grinding some white rice and salt in it; the result was pure white powder, without any gray residue or bits of rock as with an unseasoned molcajete.

2) This product is made in China, it says so on the bottom of the box. It's granite, but there's enough wiggle room in how things are worded that it could be a mix of granite and concrete. Either way, I doubt there's anything toxic in the mixture. It's also well-balanced and sturdy.

I can't quibble about performance. It allowed me to mash pine nuts, garlic, and basil leaves to a perfect paste and create the best pesto I've ever had. There's a big difference in making pesto from fresh basil leaves compared to using a food processor.

Taste-wise, the basil flavor is more intense. Best of all, the fauxcajete pesto is much creamier, likely from the smashing of the pine nuts into pine-butter paste!

Instead of just topping the pasta with shreds of leaves and blobs of pesto like bits of glitter, it turned the linguine completely green like spinach pasta when I tossed it in.

Check out my pictures comparing my two bowls of pesto-and-parm topped linguine, you'll see what I mean!

Great fir making fresh pesto!
We needed a bigger one than we had so ordered this one.
I grow a lot of Basil and the best way to use it is to make fresh Pesto!
The best way to save fresh basil is to make pesto and freeze it in ice cube trays, then bag it.
Is there anything better?
This is a wonderful mortar and pestle set.
Nice enough to serve your pesto right in the bowl to table.
Very cool!
Looks nice on the counter too.
Very Heavy!
Be sure to preseason it by grinding coarse sea salt then wipe it down.
Very useful for grinding while peppercorns too.
We love this one!
Arrived well packaged and in perfect condition.
