Underrated coment

Such a beautiful comment

Yo.

Same dude

Brave and informative, thanks for sharing 🙏

I'm only half Mexican and hypermobile (connective tissue disorder) and I can do this. Get good lmao (/lighthearted :) )

garlic bits stuck in stone mortar? hello botulism

As a non-mexican, you're right. They are a bit disappointed. In their day, they had to climb atleast 2 mountains on their way to school and still hand-milled their corn when they got home.

​@@lordjaashin garlic flavors absorbed into the dry rice stuck in the stone.

Are you an illegal immigrant?

I finally found the underrated comment. 🤣😭 This definitely deserves more likes, Wafa.

My honest recommendation is to season your mexican with beans and onion, good luck.

I use whipped cream and chocolate syrup to season my Mexican. She loves it.

I would suggest El Yucateco, but be sure to learn your Mexican’s tolerance for spice because the range now goes from chipotle to ghost pepper.

@@smithsmith1956I see what you did there 😂

Yeah we’re too poor for that 💁‍♀️

😆

Right! We cook and eat the rice instead, that way we don't waste the minerals left in the volcanic stone 😛

Yeah fr

Idk what race does this, but depending on the amount spilled if cooked I’ll leave it to dry for some time to sweep it

Doesn't soap and water unseason it

​@@MatthewMurraycogswothhave you ever tried washing the smell of garlic off your hands?

@@Ezrajusttraveling ive never had problems rinsing smells off my hand. With dish soap applied, it gets pretty much any smell off including this weird glove smell i had a few weeks ago

@@Skullguy_Eggshell ah alright then well then I don't fucking know 😭 shit its seasoned and smooth 💀

​@Zemoz The Protogen nah don't let that guy make you think you're crazy. Garlic smell is extra extra hard to get off your hands after washing. I instant thought the same thing as you. That dude acting like dish soap makes it easy reminds me of when you watch a cooking video and they make something look super easy. Then you try it's extra hard.

Lmaoo

Lol

Exactly and she probblay won’t even season the shit

​@@22625223 bro you know damn well that's not true that's like saying a black mama that doesn't season her food for a child get out of here

​@@yawontsmokemebicth4922 I think they meant the cooking thing in the video.

Nah fam 😂😂😂 you end up using both hands switching back between left and right passing it to the next person in the house to take a break and back around to you. This shit takes forever 😭😭😭 All I wanted was an authentic salsa now everyone in the home are built 💪

Lol i was yankin my mocajete lol

Mexican Ebonics?? Are you lost?

WUT@@user-dk3io4uk8o

Is it called a molcajete in Bangladesh as well? Or what is it called there?

My Bangladeshi mum says "hamdista" (no idea if that's proper Bangla tho)

As a Bangladeshi/Mexicana my mother confirms it is molcajete in spanish and my father confirms it is hamandista in bangla. Lmao

@@Rbeatje thanks for the confirmation! lol.... can I ask what language(s) you speak?

@@PHE-nomenon I speak Bangla, spanish, english and dutch. Dutch because I grew up in the Netherlands.

This cracked me up

Except we don't do the needful over here.

Red dot or feather? 🤔

Or smell really bad 😷

@@Yourmotherinlaw456 we smell different fir multiple reasons but as a mexican bro i can def day we carry alot of smells based off your diet. I smell like cinnamon which makes sense with my mexican as diet always having a fuck ton of cinnamon or red af tea. And most of yall smell like you eat beans and chorizo con juegos daily so ima let real life speak for itself

As someone not from the US I can confirm I am not also from Mexico.

Same. I do salsas on molcajetes almost every weekend, and I have never done this.

likewise

😂😂😂

You live in Mexico?

Volcanic rock therefore it’s very porous/more coarse than other “pestle & mortars”, Mexican and Thai versions are my personal favorites.

But we know it ain't concrete that's for fuckin sure

It's like a very "aerated" form of basalt. There's a lot of it around the European supervolcano area...

mortar and Pestles can be made from any hard, nonporous, non-toxic material.

@@meg2231what if they made one with roman concrete?

same lol

same, also I broke the granit pestle in half

Same. Seems like a lot of work when you could just yknow, not.

OUCH

Can’t do that in America tho. Some crazy white lady named Karen will Blast you for culturally appropriating. Tough times. Gotta stuck to your fish and chips

Bruuh 💀💀💀

Manifest Destiny all over the idea, bruv!

😂

Pro Mexican here, I would never do it like this. He forgot the bastio along the way.

This

So mortar and pestle??? I have both

@@seanceknowles2911 ok but what's the difference

@@dwippity ancestry and I think the volcanic stone works better

​@@dwippity Marble is smooth and the one made of Lava rock is rough, it will grind apart wet ingredients whilst the marble just kind of smears wet stuff around. Edit: Marble seems to work best on crushing chunks of dried things that you want to turn into a powder, like pills, and large grain specialty salts, things that will crush easily between 2 smooth surfaces and become powdery. You can do those things in the Lava rock one but alot of your product will get stuck in the pores of the rock.

Indeed

So eloquently said

Well I doubt if it's been sitting for years it's gonna make a difference if u know how to season it now, maybe donate it bc your to lazy to use it

@@SeriousGlitcher Damn.

@@SeriousGlitcher maybe they didn’t use it because they never tried to. No one just knows how to cook. We all learn. At least they are trying to learn.

@@SeriousGlitcher you should change your username to Nasty As Fck *

I’m gonna be nice… smdh

Yeah same here……

Congratulations on being Mexican

Lmao

Factual

Why kuz he sucks his thumb

Congratulations on your Mexican grandma

it's literally just a mortar and pestle.

@@joshuapaul359 yeah just what Mexican use. I have both.

@@seanceknowles2911 no. it's still just a mortar and pestle. just in a different language.

Nice

Amazon has actually been called out for essentially copying top-selling products from other companies, taking down that seller’s store/not allowing them to sell anymore, and then making bank off of the super popular design except now rebranded as Amazon basics. It’s kinda disgusting

Same

You don't really season it. You're really just breaking it in. Getting rid of all the little specs, the seasoning garlic oils don't stay as it isn't metal. And when you wash it all the oils wash off. You can also use dry corn instead of rice.

Are the Indonesian versions also made of volcanic rock?

@@josev7417 that’s what seasoning means. You’re “putting it through many seasons of use” so it behaves more consistently

Molcajetero is the specific mortar, We, Mexicans use, originally made from volcanic rock.

Yeah it is just a trendy thing in the english language to call things with their foreign name instead of just saying mexican mortar and pestle, or volcanic mortar and pestle. molcajete is just the mexican spanish name for mortar and pestle.

Just keep in mind that the "j" is an "h" sound in Spanish, so it is pronounced mol-ca-he-te in English.

​@@ElJosheryep, and don't forget the pestle is called tejolote.

Nah those cavities are all you my mom has made salsas with this for about my whole life and she didn't season it and I have never had a cavity

@@babypluto08 “seasoning” basically means to simulate having had the experience of many seasons (of the year). It’s similar to the term “well-seasoned” referring to a farmer or an experienced worker who’s been around a while. Your mother seasoned her molcajete by using it for many, many years, breaking it in and making it more consistent. This is just something you should do if you have a NEW one.

Same

@@hhjhj393 I am a Mexican but I have never went to a taco bell

. . . It’s a bowl with a rock to grind things up, we’ve been around for roughly 200,000 years. Granted I understand going from scrounging animal to cognitive thinker is a slow process but 165k years to realize “putting things in a rock with walls makes stuff easier to mush with a rock” Doesn’t give me the thought of ingenuity

As someone that’s ate salsa from a badly seasoned molcajete, I can confirm it’s the worst experience and would not recommend. Like having sand in your food.

@@ry1js Because you do have sand in your food.

Pure pinche mexican

@@migol1984 no mames buey.. lol

@@stevensolano1658 meant to say "puro* pinche mexican" pinche auto correct

​@@stevensolano1658 Güey or wey.

You can find real ones on Amazon they just won't be 25 dollars this guy was talking out of his ass when he said that. Like official molcajete producers wouldn't sell on the largest online store in the world.

Find them in almost any and all Mexican grocery stores. If you live in the US, near the border you’ll find plenty of importing shops

Lava Rock

A good one should be made out of granite

@@Mister-Bones WRONG!

@@arthurgarcia3892 I beg to differ, my grandfather's molcajete has been passed down generations and its made of granite

@@arthurgarcia3892 🤓

No it will not grow mold

​@@diegomora3202 how? You're filling the cavities with organic material

I had the same thought

Just wash it really good and keep it dry.

pretty much, it's carved out of volcanic rock. My family uses it to make salsa.

@@nomireelnom4265 Is there anything specific that makes it different functionally, or is it simply their version (Like mexican Taco vs greek gyro)

@Cyrus Bellefeuille I'm not sure, I haven't used a regular mortar and pestel in a while. From what I can tell, the biggest differences are: 1) It's very heavy, as well as somewhat shallower and wider than most mortar and pestels. 2) It's very abrasive, so it's good for grinding things down very quickly, even fiberous stuff like peppers. 3) The little nooks and crannies get filled with herbs and seasonings, so over time, it develops its own unique flavor. Almost like a cast iron pan. 4) It's hard but brittle, so using it to pound stuff can actually crack it.

It's a mortar and pestle with extra steps.

I have the same why do you say this?

@@AL3JANDR0pr you can bite into different foods (and meats) more easily (or show a bear who’s boss, whichever comes first lol)

@@AL3JANDR0pr a lot of people, including myself, have grinded / chipped the sharp canines away. Making them blend in with our other teeth and not having as unique of a use as before when they were sharp. Hence why we call them canines.

I mean, the seeds might work for filling the pores but you end up loosing some nice chiles :(

Need an update tomorrow! 😂

It was a blast they laughed so hard when I proudly corrected myself 😆 they told me they started saying it that way as a pun in the kitchen to each other 😆 el' molcaJEET

@@8WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot8 thanks! We’re all bonding over cultural gaffes! Love this.
