Importance?

Should this be a sub-article of mortar and pestle? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:701F:A100:E575:9CCD:1:44BD (talk) 09:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Great picture

I Removed the reqimage template from this talk page, because there's a great picture up on the article. Nortelrye 04:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Curing

I know molcajetes require a cure before being used to grind anything, or else bits of rock will end up in food. I am not sure of the exact process, but I think it would be a good idea to include a method for curing in this article. 24.118.233.190 (talk) 04:10, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Providing Context

I want to provide more context in how and when molcajetes have been used in Latin America. There is a brief discription on when and where it was used but it doesn't really talk about the value or purposed it served in ancient times. I have also seen other credible sources that not only talk about its usage, but they also mention it's symbolism in burial rituals. There is also no mentioning of its use in today's world. I found a cook book that shows the molcajete's usage in modern cuisine. Before I add any of these sections, I want to add a section on the craft of actually making one. I was born in Mexico, and I have seen family actually make them. I feel it is important to understand the creation process in order to understand it's durability. There also other books that describe prominent recipes with molcajetes that reflect Mexican culture.
