User questions & answers

Question:	How deep is this really
Answer:	Sorry for not seeing this sooner. It weighs 5.35lbs, 4" high 2.5" deep and 5.5" outer. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. I was gifted one at my wedding and I use it all the time!
Question:	I am looking for something to mix mask in and make makeup, is unpolished granite rough and can it be sufficent and cleanable
Answer:	Before you can use any granite mortar, it must be seasoned, which takes a very long time. You have to grind several spices for a long time before it's first use. I have two here and the pestle broke on both of them during delivery. The first one was replaced. The second one was given a $15.00 discount. I ended up buying a caulk called Loctite PL-530 that binds granite to fix the pestles. I can almost guarantee you that the pestle will be broken when you get it unless they took my suggestion and started packing them better. It just sits on top of the box with nothing to protect it and lots of room to roll around and break. When it bounces during delivery, only a thin piece of cardboard is between it and the mortar so it breaks from the impact.
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Country of origin is China. Product is designed by DKB Household and Jamie Oliver. DKB Household is known for innovation and quality and Jamie Oliver is one of the world’s best-loved chefs.
Question:	where is it made
Answer:	China, per a comment on another question.

User questions & answers

Question:	I want to use this to mash avocado for my husband who can't swallow chunky things. Will it work for that
Answer:	It will work for that, but understand that this item is very small and shallow. At best, you would have to put very small pieces of avacado in this, each at a time, to mash it.
Question:	Would this be a good choice to grind down things like sulfur and potassium nitrate
Answer:	i use mine to grind little pills into powder so i can put them in cmy cat's food and it is just great.it's heavy enough to be sturdy and not slide around. i'm very pleased with mine. good luck
Question:	Is the pestle long enough to grip with the hand firmly while grinding and Not scrape the hand on the edge of the bowl
Answer:	I had no problem gripping the pestle while grinding. I'm a size small woman. The pestle measures 5 1/2" from tip to end, the depth of inside the bowl is about 2 1/2", the top of inside bowl measure 3 3/4" cross. This should give you some idea if it fits your hand. My problem with the set is that it doesn't grind pepper corn and garlic very well. See my other posting.
Question:	Can it crush nuts down to powder form
Answer:	Someone have a nut allergy

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Zaxbo: So... The answer would be 'Made in China'. No need for "designed in the USA'...a distraction designed to mislead.
Question:	Is this rough inside
Answer:	Not too rough. Kinda like a light sandpaper. Just enough to hold things from slipping out.
Question:	Can you clean this with soap and water, or no reason to
Answer:	I've cleaned mine with soap and water. It hasn't harmed the product a bit. I wouldn't see why, you wouldn't clean it after each use.

User questions & answers

Question:	It's broken, who do I contact about this
Answer:	It is made in Taiwan. Taiwan is a small island south of Japan and east of China. They are generally a bit better on food safety and quality control, compared to China.
Question:	Is this big enough to use to make mofongo
Answer:	It's made from recycled marble columns pulled out of the Aegan Sea in Greece
Question:	I'm trying to figure out where this is made and seeing answers that say china, mexico, and afghanistan. explain? im confus
Answer:	Hey Donald. I don't know how it stacks up to a store bought can, but I made a batch of whipped cream to go with dessert one night for 6 people and used roughly half of it. I'd say you get 10-12 servings out of the container and those are about the size of a quarter cup.
Question:	Item title header states that it will ship in 1-3 months! where is it made
Answer:	I make my whipped cream on Sunday morning and I use it every day for 7 days in my coffee, I do not go longer than 7 days because the Heavy Whipping Cream says to discard 7 days after opening. From day 1 to day 7 this product produces perfect whipped cream, if it seems to be getting a little watery I just shake it a few times and its back to light fluffy whipped cream.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just received this and it is huge - is larger than the dimensions stated. Anyone else have this problem
Answer:	The description next to the image at the top of this product page states the interior is 3 3/4" wide x 2 3/4" deep. In the second description, farther down the page, it states the interior dimensions are 4 7/8” wide X 2 1/4” deep, which I believe are correct for model B06WP59YLK - shown in the image. The first dimensions listed are for the taller model B06W2KBC4Z.
Question:	how many cups does this bowl hold please
Answer:	20 oz., a little over two cups. I am sure you will love it!
Question:	How do you season it
Answer:	https://preparednessmama.com/learning-to-use-a-mortar-and-pestle/ Wash it in clean water, without detergent and let it air dry. In fact, you should never wash it with soap unless you want your fantastic creations tainted with it. You should always begin using it when it’s dry, a wet mortar might gum up your dry ingredients. Roughly grind a small handful of white rice. Discard and repeat until the rice grinds white. It will take several grinds. If you have a white mortar and pestle, plan on grinding three times. This is somewhat cumbersome in the small mortars but is great practice and you should be a grinding pro by the time you’re done. If your mortar has a tendency to slip on the counter while you are learning, put a non-skid shelf liner under it. Next, add 4 cloves of garlic, then mash and muddle it together. Add 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the garlic. Grind it all together, enjoy the smells, and discard. Wash it again in clean water, without soap, and air dry. In their book, Alchemy of the Mortar & Pestle, D & P Gramp suggest this rule of thumb when adding ingredients to a recipe: Driest ingredients first (dried herbs and spices, flour, etc.) Moist ones next (garlic, onion, brown sugar, fresh herbs, etc.) Oily ones next (anchovy, nuts, oils, cheese, butter, etc) Wet ones next (lemon juice, stock, vinegar, honey, soy, etc) Taste and add salt if needed
Question:	Is this made in the USA
Answer:	I wonder why I thought this product is made in Japan. Something to do with its name perhaps! The box says made in China. The product looks great, but, I find it misleading to name a product as Kota Japan, and it comes from China. I have nothing against it being made in China, but this apparent misleading product naming concerns me whether I should use this product for food processing.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is the pestle
Answer:	The pestle (el tejolote) is fairly short, prolly about 4" or so, not much longer. You will get a little bit of mashed avocado on your finger tips when you use it, but it's not a problem. I'm not so sure that these things are standardized and each one might be a little different because the one in the picture is different from the one that came with my molcajete. Mine is hourglass shaped and the one end is only very slightly smaller than the other end. I always look closely at it to make sure to always use the correct end for grinding and the other end for holding it. But it's pretty easy to tell them apart now that I have been using it for so long. The grinding end is very smooth now and it's also a lighter color than the "handle" end.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	There is no indication on the box specifying the country of manufacturing. However, Vasconia is a long established company in Mexico. Their website indicates "In 1991, Vasconia and its primary competitor, Ekco, joined forces to emerge as the pre-eminent supplier of cookware in Mexico". Also, "In 2007, Ekco purchased IMASA, its largest competitor, and also partnered with Lifetime Brands to offer authentic Hispanic cookware, utensils & gadgets and cutlery under the Vasconia brand to the U.S. market."So I assume this item is still made in Mexico but can find no information other than that quoted above. It is a great product though! We use ours at least once per week & love it.
Question:	How often do you have to cure and season it? (The top review makes it sound as if you have to spend days of work to prevent recipes from tasting like
Answer:	I season mine three times a year with mineral oil. You don't want to use any cooking oil for it can turn rancid. I heat mine in the oven for about 20 minutes at 250 degrees. I take out (it will be hot so be careful). I set it on a heat resistant surface. I pour enough mineral oil into the vessel to cover the bottom. I take a few paper towels and wipe the interior and the exterior and let it sit overnight. The next morning, I take more towels and wipe off the excess and it is ready to use again. Hope this helps!
Question:	Is this solid granite? It looks suspiciously like ground granite mixed with concrete
Answer:	I'm no geologist but my guess is that it is fake rock. It does not look like any granite I have seen. Maybe crushed stone mixed with a binder of some sort, then molded to approximate shape, and tooled to the final finish. It smells like Playdough or the commom window putty used 40 or 50 years ago. Think about it. Real stone is hard and difficult to carve. Would not it be much cheaper to mold something into the right shape and then just finish the surface to look authentic. The term 'authentic' is used on Amazon's sales page but I doubt this molcajete is reasonably authentic.
