THE PRE-COLUMBIAN MORTAR AND PESTLE
MOLCAJETE, from Nahuatl
mulcazitl, is one of the traditional Mexican grinding tools; carved out of a single block of basalt stone, it was used by the Aztecs and the Mayans to crush small quantities of spices, corn and dried
chiles.
Electric blenders have little by little displaced the
molcajete, but the texture and flavor of a
salsa molcajeteada are unique and cannot be achieved with a blender.
