Mine is over a hundred years old, came from great grandma and who knows how many more years before that it's been in our family. You're the best Rachel! Thank you so much for all your videos, they're absolutely wonderful! God bless you!
Thank you Rachel! I have a molcajete that my parents bought in Mexico 50+ years ago but we never knew how to season it so we just used it for decor. NOW I can season it and use it!
And here I was feeling bad of letting two years and two months go by!!! I to have used mine more as decoration… And a makeshift fruit basket from time to time!!!
Thank you Rachel for taking the time to explain how to season a molcajete. I got one a few years ago and just forgot about it. As a kid I was too "busy"to learn from my mother or actually I was dumb thinking I was too "cool" to learn. Then my beautiful mother died suddenly when still a teenager. I learned basic things to cook just to get by. Now, I watch your videos. Thank you so much for helping and teaching us.
I love that you find pleasure in absolutely everything you do. This episode showcases that so well. You take pride in your tools and in taking care of them. You have definitely had a positive impact on me as I have begun to take care of my pots and pans way more than I used to. And this is from watching you take care of yours. Thank you Rachel!
Have been watching your videos for some time and love them. I am 85 yrs old and have found in interest in cooking. Keep upthe good work and videos. Tucson Az says hello.
Just got my molcajete. After watching you cook so many authentic Mexican recipes, this was the first stop I made after reading the instructions. This is a labor of love and Rachel, you are right, be prepared to run it through the curing process five or six times. I’ve done it once today and IT IS A WORKOUT! To save my arm and hand, I intend to do it once a day for the next week. I’m in no hurry; my avos are ripening. One other thing; be sure to CURE BOTH ENDS of the tejolote as Rachel does. I think our hands will appreciate it in the long run. “And may the odds be ever in your favor!”
Hello Rachel! My Peter asked me this evening "Any new recipes from Rachel." I said no, but she did put out a video how to cure and clean my molcajete. I never used a molcajete until I started watching your videos, so we went out to buy one. We did purchase one like your little one and look so forward to following your path. I will say my Peter loves the recipes I have cooked for him. Many blessings to you and your Ron🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤
Aww, so happy you got a molcajete and will put it to use, continue to love and cook well for your Peter my friend. Thank you and blessings to you both. ❤❤👍
Hello Mrs. Rachel ❤️. I Finally purchased a Molcajete and I received it today. I bought one because of you and I also want the experience of learning how to grind my different spices😊. I had to come to YOUR channel to see HOW to SEASON it. I’ve watched your instructions several times n Now I’m in the process of seasoning it. I purchased an AUTHENTIC MEXICAN MOLCAJETE because I APPRECIATE the Culture of how it began. God bless you Mrs. Rachel n I’m so happy that your back is better. God definitely hears prayers of the righteous. Amen
Rachel I just want to compliment you because in my opinion I think you are the absolute best at explaining so clearly and patiently step by step your delicious recipes. You make it so easy for us all to follow your instructions and actually makes me want to cook. You explain to us your methods and way of cooking but give us options of which to chose from. I love how you let us know exactly what ingredients you use which are easy for us to find. I loved this upload because you taught us how to cure a molcajete using ingredients and items that we actually have access to and advice us on what works best for you and why. PS the best part of your videos are that your cooking look soooo delicious simple clean delicious makes our mouths water and makes us get up and cook just to taste your mouthwatering looking food! Thank you for your uploads please never stop. ♥️ YOUR FANS FROM TUCSON AZ es comida NORTEÑA MEXICO AMERICANA Y NOS ENCANTA ya ke somos Sonorenses y norteños de Arizona.
You’re the absolute best on RUclips! I love learning truly authentic Mexican cuisine from you. Just made your Carne Guisada last night! Thanks, Rachel! Great video.
Thank you! It’s refreshing to see a video where a woman is not portray herself as a sex object. I was just trying to find out how to season a mocajete, and I had to go through several until I found yours. I learned a lot, and I will be buying my first one soon.
Hi Rachel, I grew up in So. California. My Mom would cook enchiladas, soft tacos flour and corn tortillas. I had won my husband over by way of his tummy. Thank you for showing how to season the molcajeta, now I will be able to use mine. God bless you 😋
Ty Rachel. My 29 yr old son just came over and said I want a Mocajete! Lol Of course the smell in the house when he came over sparked his desire for one. With cubed pork tenderloin in the crockpot, with garlic, onion, chipolte peppers and fire rosted pablono peppers that your taught me how to make. Plus pinto's simmering for refried beans, and Mexican rice. I got my garlic, onion, jalapeños, and plum tomatos roasted in my cast iron ready for salsa. So of course I shared this video with him. And just know that when I need some questions answered for a mexican dish I want to make I come straight to you because you have all the answers. BTW I'm learning to cook with dried chili's thanks to your Dried Chili's 101, step by step video. You did that Rachel. Ty dear. Love and blessings.
Omgoodness! I'm so happy about this video 🎵🎶💃 🤣 I was waiting for it! Thank you so much 💓 That's very special to share that with us. Love you and Mr. Ron 💐💙
Hello Ms Rachel. It was your Inspiration that made me get a Molcajete but I did not know you had to cure they. I have not use mine yet so glad I didn’t. I know there two different kinds and I got the lava rock one. I hope I did right. Thanks for you time and your Ron’s putting together these videos for us! God Bless!!🙏🏻
I just went on Pinterest to see if I could follow you there also and look what I found. I really needed to see this so I would do mine. I purchased one that medium size when I got a deal probably 3 years ago. I read about how to fix it up, let me say I needed to see someone do this literally. Thank you so much for SHOWING me how to do this procedure. 💐♥
I've been watching you since you began, and I've never been disappointed with your videos. I now have three molcajete's...They keep getting bigger, lol. You are absolutely right there are many ways to cure a molcajete and I've done a few, but your method is the best and the most sensible. It took me 6 cleanings before my latest molcajete was cured, I guess the bigger they are the longer it takes. You are the best!
I got a brand new one just like that two Christmases ago!!! I knew I was supposed to cure it with rice but I had never seen it done! Thank you so much guess what I’m doing today!!! I really enjoy your videos thank you for your time and energy put in making amazing videos to help us be better cooks! Dios te BENDIGA!
I only wish I can upload a photo I am so proud of myself! Muchísimas gracias! En Bolivia teníamos una piedra tan grande y plano una piedra para moler sobre eso. Esto es un nuevo estilo para mí pero me encanta!
My mother never taught me to cook when I was young. I'm 60 years old now and I am learning so much from you! Thank you for all you do on your channel. My husband loves everything I've made so far :)
Hi Rachel... I use the one my Daddy has used since I was a lil girl. He probably had it used it before I was born. Bless him 🙏 now I have it and use it... I want to buy another one. Thanks for this video. I know now what to do when I bring it home to use. Thanks for the video. From New Mexico 🌮🫔🥟
Rachel I’m a big fan of your RUclips page. I love your cooking techniques. I just purchased a Molcajete and I love it. I never knew that you had to cure it, so thank you for the video. 💕💕💕
Thanks for showing step by step, the less glamorous aspects of what is required in a good kitchen. This is a valuable skill to know, and anyone who wants to add a Molcajete to their kitchen arsenal can prepare this item for safe use. Even if you are not sure you would use a Molcajete to grind spices, it is an attractive table decoration to display fresh fruits or other foodstuffs. With your common use of recipes that use the Molcajete, I am completely confident in your endorsement of using the dishwasher for a deep cleaning. I would not have known this otherwise. All excellent info for the home cook. Great presentation.
Yesterday it was making your salsa verde recipe. Today seasoned my new molcajete. Of course my husband and i had to roast veggies and toast some chilies. Made an amazing salsa with so few ingredients. Our arms got a workout. My well cleaned molcajete is on its side on the counter drying. You are a master teacher. A bit of your sweet joy is in our kitchen today.
Hello, Rachel….its fate that this video came across my feed today. Inspired by your wonderful channel, I bought my first molcajete just like yours….and I didn’t even know I had to “cure” it! You saved me from a batch of gray guacamole! Thank you for your wonderful channel and your easy to follow instructions. So many of your techniques can be use making other recipes. I tell anyone who doesn’t have confidence in the kitchen, or who is just starting out to subscribe to your channel because you are such a good teacher……much love from a total gringa in Dallas.
Thank you so much! My son bought me one for Christmas and I didn’t know where to start. I’m from Southwest New Mexico, living in Alabama, and he’s trying to help me recapture my native home. Again, thank you!
I am working on my molcajete as I’m watching this video. I’m SOOO EXCITED to use my new molcajete. It’s a whole new experience for me. Thankyou SOOO MUCH for sharing ❤️👩🍳
Hi Rachel I am so glad I ran into this video I got a molcajete as a gift and I was doing it with rice like you were showing us and I'm still working with it I never knew you could wash them thank you for the demonstration have a great day
I hope it'll work out for you my friend, I did mention that I don't always put it in the dishwasher only when I can't clean it myself with a brush. Some people use brushes without soap, and that's totally up to you, sometimes I use the brush without the soap as well.❤👍
I finally got up the nerve to buy one. It came with lg holes in the bowl and outside. Called seller and he didn't even want it back. Ordered another and it came so nice! My hubbies and I took turns with doing the rice and salt. Quite an experience. Now I'm ready to do one of my favorite recipes from Rachel Cooks with Love. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me.
I was given a molcajete from a volunteer that I worked with at a nursinghome, she had gotten it from Mexico years and years ago and didnt use it anymore and knew i loved to cook.. It's sat up in my cupboard because I wasn't sure how to clean it properly. Now I know! Thank you!
Thank you Rachel, I’ve always wondered how you cured a Molcajete ..I picked one up in San Antonio a few years ago.. Love going there..my niece lives there. Since I’ve been watching your videos I’ve learned so much and you make it so simple..
I want a molcajete!! Now that I've found your channel and I'm learning recipes with you!! Tomorrow I'll be making my second batch of homemade chorizo! No more extra greasy nasty chorizo from the store; thanks to you!😁
I tell my friend to get me from one mexico. Her father was heading that way for Christmas....he comes back....with one that is 20" x 6"h lol. It's atleast 60pounds!! And I love it!!
Rachel I made the ground beef empanadas and girl my husband and I loved them. I love the angel you have . You are so sweet and explain everything very well. I live in San Antonio, Texas. I also made your pozole salsa and oooh man did my husband and I also loved it too. I just barely came up and saw your channel in youtube. But you can bet I'm going to be watching you. Lots of love and blessings for you and your husband Ron.
In a different video I just asked about seasoning one of these. I was searching for a recipe on making guacamole when I found this video. Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. This is my next project.
I'd like to say Thank You Rachel! Whenever I want to know anything about Mexican cooking you know where I go look it up.. I just bought me a molcajete now I know how to cure it thanks again!
Hello Ms. Rachel! Yes girl! I needed to see how you cure a molcajete! I have one but I need a bigger one! I was afraid to get one because I didn’t know how to do this process! Gracias hermosa for your video and tips! Have a blessed beautiful Friday my friend! I’m still waiting for a recipe for the tortitas de camarón girl! I hope you can share a recipe soon! I. Looking forward to it! God bless you my friend! 💕💖💕💕💕💕💖💕💕💖💖💕💕💖💖💖💖💕💕💖💕💕💖💖💖💕💕💖💕💕💖💖💕
I've watched SEVERAL of these tutorials, and I feel obliged to say that this one, sans the soap, is my favourite! Rachel has a lovely demeanor, and she made me feel as if she were MY mother! Very nice video!👍😁👏👏👏
Thank you so much for your channel. Your the grandmother of many generations passing down the old generations knowledge to the new. So many of the old recipes have been lost. Im 70 and so appreciate your channel! Recipes past down in my head are being forgotten. I never wrote them down because I remembered by doing. With all the years of travel and being away from unable to find ingredients or supplies I learned to eat other dishes. Your channel renewed my heart. Im again making some of my comfort foods like I remembered perfectly - your recipes! I do hope an opportunity will come where you are able to pass these down in a recipe book. You are such a treasure of traditions. We’ve become so multi cultured in many ways, which is good,!but not at the expense of losing these passed traditional recipes our grandparents and aunts traditionally passed in the warmth of the kitchen. May your channel bless and renew a new generation of cooks. Even your way of explaining so simply is heartwarming to listen to. God Bless you and your Ron for your passion and this channel. ❤️🙏🏽
I just got my Molcajete, I can't wait to cure it just as you did, you made it look so simple, now I'll be waiting for some of your delicious recipes. Thank you Rachel
Hi Rachael, never too old to learn new ways, I just started watching and subscribed to your channel, ohh my gosh, you are the best teacher at cooking. Just fixed your stew, it was wonderful, when I’m thinking of what to fix next I check out your channel first. What a wonderful cook and a lovely lady.
I couldn’t find my molcajete after we moved. I was hesitant about buying a new one because I wasn’t sure how to season it. Thanks for the video. Now I can buy one. ❤️
Every time I watch your videos I'm glad I subscribed. I didn't know a mocajeta has to be seasoned. I don't have one yet but it's on my "must buy" list.
Hi Rachel: You had already inspired me to get a molcajete and I purchased one a couple of months ago. Now with your video I will finally be able to cure it so that I can start using and enjoy preparing your yummy recipes. Thank you for this teaching moment. Love your recipes! God Bless!
Thank you so much, Rachel. I have only done 1 round and with rice only (but haven't used the molcajete yet). So now I know I need to go 5 more times and with kosher salt, as well and then wash thoroughly & dry before using. Very much appreciated, Rachel! Many blessings to you! .......Rob.......
Buenas tardes señora Rachel me da gusto en saludarle por primera ves en su canal. Y estoy fascinada de cada una rde sus recetas. Tengo una señora rachel vi en unos de sus videos que nos hiva a compartir una receta de como se hace el RED CHILLI EN POLVO . OJALA MUY PRONTO NOS PUEDA COMPARTIR ESE RECETA gracias te rachel por todo. Adios
Beautiful tutorial! I'm blessed to have my mother in law's molcajete that is still being used to this day as it's decades old. I really hope that your video will inspire others to invest in a new molcajete. That was one of the first things that got my feet wet in the kitchen when I was young. My mama would put me to grind her spices and I just loved it. My sweet and wonderful friend may you and your Ron enjoy this cool weekend by just kicking back and enjoying the days and each other. Big love and blessings as always flowing in your direction.
Thank You So Much, Rachel! I picked One up at Costco a while back. After following Your Channel, and seeing that They had these, I got so excited and had to have One! However, when I brought it Home, I did use Rice, but something didn’t seem right... Now I know Exactly what to do! A much needed Video! 😘
❤ Thank you Rachel I really needed that help I just got a molcajete And have a feeling it needed to be cleaned a certain way I went straight to you because I trust your information❤
I just love your videos. You make me confident that I can do anything you explain. I just got a new molcajete and can't wait to season it now. Thank you ❤️
Thank you Rachel!! I heard to "never use soap", which freaked me out a little bit.😖 I'm so glad you did this video! Now I will give mine a proper washing!
Mine is over a hundred years old, came from great grandma and who knows how many more years before that it's been in our family. You're the best Rachel! Thank you so much for all your videos, they're absolutely wonderful! God bless you!
Mine is a 100+ too! Awesome!
Thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤
Priceless. I wish I had my grandmothers :(
I can't believe she used soap she don't know what's up 😂😆
Thank you Rachel! I have a molcajete that my parents bought in Mexico 50+ years ago but we never knew how to season it so we just used it for decor. NOW I can season it and use it!
And here I was feeling bad of letting two years and two months go by!!! I to have used mine more as decoration… And a makeshift fruit basket from time to time!!!
Same! Bought mine when I was a teenager in Texas..I'm in my 50s now! Lol Gonna season it this weekend!!!
Enjoy it my friend. ❤
Thank you Rachel for taking the time to explain how to season a molcajete. I got one a few years ago and just forgot about it. As a kid I was too "busy"to learn from my mother or actually I was dumb thinking I was too "cool" to learn. Then my beautiful mother died suddenly when still a teenager. I learned basic things to cook just to get by.

I tell my friend to get me from one mexico. Her father was heading that way for Christmas....he comes back....with one that is 20" x 6"h lol. It's atleast 60pounds!! And I love it!!
Rachel I made the ground beef empanadas and girl my husband and I loved them. I love the angel you have . You are so sweet and explain everything very well. I live in San Antonio, Texas. I also made your pozole salsa and oooh man did my husband and I also loved it too. I just barely came up and saw your channel in youtube. But you can bet I'm going to be watching you. Lots of love and blessings for you and your husband Ron.
I never knew you had to cure the molcajete. I have had mine for years but never knew how to properly use it. Thanks Rachael. Love your videos.
In a different video I just asked about seasoning one of these. I was searching for a recipe on making guacamole when I found this video. Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. This is my next project.
I'd like to say Thank You Rachel!
Whenever I want to know anything about Mexican cooking you know where I go look it up..

I love your recipes and have tried so many of them. I just bought a molcajete and now I will cure it. Thank you !!
I've watched SEVERAL of these tutorials, and I feel obliged to say that this one, sans the soap, is my favourite! Rachel has a lovely demeanor, and she made me feel as if she were MY mother! Very nice video!👍😁👏👏👏
Thank you so much for educating us , I would have never known to prep the MOLCAJETE!
Aside from your video about chilies (my favorite), this one is my 2nd favorite...but I love ALL your videos. Bendiciones ❤
Thank you so much my friend. Blessings!❤
Thank you so much for your channel. Your the grandmother of many generations passing down the old generations knowledge to the new. So many of the old recipes have been lost. Im 70 and so appreciate your channel! Recipes past down in my head are being forgotten. I never wrote them down because I remembered by doing. With all the years of travel and being away from unable to find ingredients or supplies I learned to eat other dishes. Your channel renewed my heart. Im again making some of my comfort foods like I remembered perfectly - your recipes! I do hope an opportunity will come where you are able to pass these down in a recipe book. You are such a treasure of traditions. We’ve become so multi cultured in many ways, which is good,!but not at the expense of losing these passed traditional recipes our grandparents and aunts traditionally passed in the warmth of the kitchen. May your channel bless and renew a new generation of cooks. Even your way of explaining so simply is heartwarming to listen to. God Bless you and your Ron for your passion and this channel. ❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for your kind, warm comment
I received one for Christmas, had no idea I need to season it, so glad you demonstrated/posted this video, Thank you!!
You're welcome my friend. ❤👍
I just got my Molcajete, I can't wait to cure it just as you did, you made it look so simple, now I'll be waiting for some of your delicious recipes. Thank you Rachel
Hi Rachael, never too old to learn new ways, I just started watching and subscribed to your channel, ohh my gosh, you are the best teacher at cooking. Just fixed your stew, it was wonderful, when I’m thinking of what to fix next I check out your channel first. What a wonderful cook and a lovely lady.
I couldn’t find my molcajete after we moved. I was hesitant about buying a new one because I wasn’t sure how to season it. Thanks for the video. Now I can buy one. ❤️
Thanks for the lesson to clean a molcajete that I did not know I needed, it looks so beautiful, God blessings.
😳WoW! I didn’t know about this, thank you Rachel💕
Thank You Mrs Rachel, I bought one and will be curing mine next week. Did not know it needed to be Treated. Be Blessed Beautiful Lady ♥️♥️
wonderful to know this info for my next one. my sister in law did my first one, I did not watch, but now can do it on my own. thanks!
You look so beautiful today 🌷!
Love that apron!
Every time I watch your videos I'm glad I subscribed. I didn't know a mocajeta has to be seasoned. I don't have one yet but it's on my "must buy" list.
Thank you! Your presentation was excellent--so clear and easy to understand. You're an awesome teacher!
thank you so much for showing how to do this . .now I'm gonna go out to buy one . . your the best Rachel 👍
awesome my friend . . ❤️🙋♀️
Thank you for sharing ❤️ I was gifted one today and BLESSED to see how to care for it!
Hi Rachel: You had already inspired me to get a molcajete and I purchased one a couple of months ago. Now with your video I will finally be able to cure it so that I can start using and enjoy preparing your yummy recipes. Thank you for this teaching moment. Love your recipes!
God Bless!
Yayy, so glad you will start using it to prepare delicious dishes, thank you so much for your comment. ❤👍
Thank you so much, Rachel. I have only done 1 round and with rice only (but haven't used the molcajete yet). So now I know I need to go 5 more times and with kosher salt, as well and then wash thoroughly & dry before using. Very much appreciated, Rachel! Many blessings to you! .......Rob.......
Thanks 👍 for sharing knowledge and demonstration . From Johannesburg South Africa
Did not know that! I love your shows! You are a great presenter!😊
Thank you so much my friend. ❤

Tengo una señora rachel vi en unos de sus videos que nos hiva a compartir una receta de como se hace el RED CHILLI EN POLVO . OJALA MUY PRONTO NOS PUEDA COMPARTIR ESE RECETA gracias te rachel por todo. Adios
Thank Rachel I just ordered a molcajete. Thank you for teaching me ❤
Rachel, you are an amazing woman and your receipes and tips are the best !!!!
Thank you so much for your comment. ❤
❤️❤️ I’ve seen these in Mexico but didn’t know what they were. Thanks for the info, so interesting. 😊
You're welcome my friend. ❤
This is excellent!! I have a new one but I never knew it had to be cured! I'm so excited to know! Thank you 😊
Beautiful tutorial! I'm blessed to have my mother in law's molcajete that is still being used to this day as it's decades old. I really hope that your video will inspire others to invest in a new molcajete. That was one of the first things that got my feet wet in the kitchen when I was young. My mama would put me to grind her spices and I just loved it. My sweet and wonderful friend may you and your Ron enjoy this cool weekend by just kicking back and enjoying the days and each other. Big love and blessings as always flowing in your direction.
Learn something new every day 😉Thank you for sharing beautiful Rachel 😍
Thank you. Always like your cooking and tips God bless you! 🙏💜💐
Good job on cleaning the molcahete Rachel
Thank You So Much, Rachel!
I picked One up at Costco a while back. After following Your Channel, and seeing that They had these, I got so excited and had to have One! However, when I brought it Home, I did use Rice, but something didn’t seem right... Now I know Exactly what to do!
A much needed Video! 😘
❤ Thank you Rachel I really needed that help I just got a molcajete And have a feeling it needed to be cleaned a certain way I went straight to you because I trust your information❤
Thanks so much. I recently purchased one. Your instructions were just in time. I appreciate all your recipes and instructional videos. Thanks again.
You explain in such a clear way, good video
I just love your videos. You make me confident that I can do anything you explain. I just got a new molcajete and can't wait to season it now. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You truly are a loving person ❤️.
I have looked at these type of bowls but wondered if everything would get stuck in it being so porous. Now I know. Excellent video. Thank you!
I had a mol siege years ago and didn't know about the rice and salt process! Thanks for this! I'm going to get another one and do this!
Thank you Rachel!! I heard to "never use soap", which freaked me out a little bit.😖 I'm so glad you did this video! Now I will give mine a proper washing!
You're welcome my friend, I think it's important to keep it clean, especially when using tomatoes, avocados etc...❤
Thanks Rachel! I've watched a few of these, and yours was the most clear and informative!
Thank you Rachel. I have a brand new one that was given to me. Now I know how to start.
Thanks! My mom had a molcajete. She called the stone the "mano". My Abuela & tias also had molcajetes. Thanks for bringing back memories.
You're welcome my friend, thank you so much for sharing. ❤👍
Rachel, I always learn so much from your channel! Thank you so much for your videos.
Oh my gosh , Thank you so much Miss Rachel, I knew I could count on you!!! your the best thank you again
