minus-squareDasus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoI have a marble one. Also can be washed, as it’s non-porous. What’s the benefit of a molcajete, I wonder? Seasoning, obviously, but any others?
minus-squarekrakenfurylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoAfaik, it’s traditional to Central American (and maybe South American?) cuisine, but I don’t know any science-y aspects to it’s use. You make salsas and guac directly in it, and I can say they do hit different, but I can’t say exactly why.
