Laredo Mortar and Pestle Molcajete-7.5 Inches in Diameter x 5 Inches High. Authentic hand carved in Mexico. All Molcajetes need to be cured or seasoned. We have started the process and these molcajete are fairly smooth, but you would still need to work it a bit. To season add wet raw rice and work it until the rice stays clean or doesn't turn gray. Pestle is 3.75 inches long x 2 inches in diameter. Holds about 3 cups of Salsa.
