@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.

My brother bought one and I had to do the work. I did it three times. I think I lasted for five hours cleaning it with rice and salt that my hands right now are hurting so much and I have sensitive skin. It made it crack. My skin I just called it a rock, but mine came from San Salvador Volcano rock

You could skip the rice and use sandpaper or a file. Those work well and smoothing stone, this is mostly due to the fact that it's their intended purpose

Honestly we even use mop ajetes made from Barro/Red clay. Like it’s no big deal just make sure the material is non toxic

My friend got one of these, or maybe it was a mortar and pestle, but either way when she told me you have to grind rice and stuff into it to “get the rock debris out” it BLEW MY MIND. Why would you ever want to buy something that you have to finish polishing yourself? Might as well make the whole thing from scratch if you have to fucking grind the inedible rock chunks off of your dish before using it anyway. It’s literally like if you had to pick splinters out of your toilet paper before using it

As a random youtube commenter, i can confirm this was very educational and interesting. I love learning about small things from other cultures like this. Is garlic the only thing that can season it or are there alternatives/additions?
