🥣 Simple Curing/Seasoning Guide for the Buyer:
Because this is 100% authentic, raw volcanic stone, it must be seasoned before its first culinary use to smooth out the surface and clear natural rock dust. Here is how to do it:
1. Scrub: Rinse thoroughly with plain warm water and a stiff brush (no soap ever!). Let it dry.
2. Grind Rice: Put a handful of dry white rice into the bowl. Grind it aggressively with the pestle until the rice turns into a gray powder.
3. Repeat: Discard the gray powder, add fresh dry rice, and repeat the process 2 to 3 times until the crushed rice powder stays perfectly white.
4. Final Rinse: Do a final rinse with plain water, and your molcajete is seasoned for life!
