I wish I could find a largest one. But they cost a fortune.
Blender.
Molcajate or whatever Italians call it, for pesto. Blender doesn’t work for pesto.

Ni madres. Cleaning that vs the blender….

Are those pumpkin seeds? I would have never thought of adding that. Interesting.
Also molcajates are for people with time. I ain’t got no time. Food processor is my go-to

I don’t have one! I would if I did though, they give a nice texture and flavor. Even in Mexico they were expensive though! A blender was cheaper

I like molcajate because if you blitz tomatoes, it turns them orange. They stay red if you just smash them. Also, they say that even if you clean a molcajete well theres still a little of everything you put in it left. So score, extra flavour!

For all the ones wondering about those green beans:
“Leucaena leucocephala is a small fast-growing mimosoid tree native to southern Mexico and northern Central America… In Mexico [the young pods are] eaten in soups and also inside tacos, it is known as guaje”
Basically those green little beans are the green seeds of the guaje plant, and are used in Mexico in many ways.
My dad was born in Izúcar de Matamoros, Puebla and he makes a dish with these seeds, makes them in a sauce and adds pork. This dish is called huaxmole. It’s quite delicious! (you should try it)

Nope I use a Thermomix

Wouldn’t it be better to grind the seeds first, before adding the liquid-y stuff?

Almost never. Blender goes BRRRRRRR.

Blender normally but a few pulses in the food processor if I want something with texture

[Yes, and before you ask, the tejolote is sitting correctly. Mine is made where each end is the same size and narrows a bit in the middle. ](https://i.imgur.com/YUFCt5q.jpg)

I use mine as often as I can for salsas and guacamole — yes, the blender is faster, but I always prefer the taste and texture of molcajeteada…plus after the arm workout, some chips and salsa feel like a solid reward 😅

It helps if you grind all the dry ingredients first.

Need salsa its flavourful

Cuando hay fiesta o reunion, porque la salsa en el molcajete da una excelente presentacion.
Voracious_Port
Of course, much better than the blender.

La salsa molcajeteada con chile, tomate, cebolla y ajo tatemados es simplemente gold.
GamerBienVestido
I remember my mom teach me how to use it and how to make salsa on it. To be honest I used to hate to make salsa using those prehistoric artifacts when we already have a blender.
Now me as an adult realized that there’s no better salsa than the one is made with a molcajete.
Nowadays, I’m teaching my daughter and son to use it

Yes, sometimes. It gives a taste and texture to the salsas. Sadly, its use its being lost. In the future, maybe you can only tried a salsa of molcajete in an expensive restaurant.

In the summer on a weekend, if i have the time. It is really a different taste. I also did a pesto with our basil plant and it was great. something about pulverizing i guess changes the taste. most of time though, straight from the grill to the blender for salsa.

The real salsa is made in molcajete. End of discussion

No solo salsa, puedes moler ajo, cebolla, etc para tus recetas en lugar de machacarlas aunque depende de qué tan fino lo quieras, el guacamole ahí sale con madre

Absolutely yes. They are the best. Of course my wife is Mexican and I’ve learned to use a lot of things like that.
