This molcajete and basket set serves chips and guacamole or salsa in style. Used for centuries by Mexican cooks, this ancient and ingenious form of mortar and pestle uses the rough surface of volcanic stone to more efficiently grind and release flavorful oils from vegetables and herbs. Its footed form also has a charming presence on the table. Woven of palm leaves dyed vibrant hues, the lidded basket makes a festive presentation of tortilla chips.
