How to prepare a molcajete

Ilse Castrejón

If you have just bought a molcajete to honor Mexican food, you should know that before using it, it must be prepared to soften it and to prevent pebbles from falling off.

Step by Step of: How to prepare a molcajete

For this tip, you're going to need

• 4 tablespoons of rice
• 1 molcajete

Place the rice in the molcajete and start grinding it with the help of the tejolote.

Make circular movements and try to reach all the walls so that they soften as well as the base.

Continue grinding the rice until you feel that the molcajete and the base of the tejolote have softened a bit and you notice that there is no residue left of it.

Remove the rice and wash the molcajete perfectly well.
